has gloss | eng: Native American hip hop is popular among Native Americans in the United States and the First Nations of Canada. The influence of hip hop within the Native American community grew as many people returned home or visited from relocation and public works projects in urban areas. This initial contact, alongside the ever burgeoning media force that mainstream hip hop became, served as the conduits in which Native American Hip Hop was born. Native American rappers began performing in the 1980s and 90s, drawing on the influence of the world around them, young rappers began to spit and ink rhymes that were a portrait of their communities pains, triumphs and dreams. Others found influence from other native artists such as John Trudells spoken word poetry. Litefoot (winner of the Native American Music Award), Without Rezervation, and Robby Bee & the Boyz From the Rez are the most well-known Native American hip hop musicians. |
