Rose speaks on those who claim hip hop to be pure, authentic and real because it is part of their own culture. As the novel goes on, she starts to reveal her arguments on both sides and how and why hip hop is perceived the way it is, violent, dangerous and ghetto. In the first few chapters, Rose discusses the critics of hip hop and the blame it receives within society. Hip hop has been one of the most discussed topics within pop culture, and is arguably one of the biggest debates on what hip hop depicts in society.
Rose also argues whether hip hop is mered to be sexist or an anti-sexist movement towards women, and whether hip hop is degrading the African American people and causing less success of advancement for the people. Rose argues on the debate of the representation of hip hop whether it is causing violence or just a depiction of violence within a culture that is proclaimed to be ghetto. In the novel The Hip Hop Wars by Tricia Rose, the author discusses the viewpoint on hip hop within today’s society and why the negative outlook is a problem. It is a way for people to express themselves, from fashion, art, music, and film. Hip Hop is not just music, it is a cultural movement that was started in the 1970’s by African Americans that essentially evolved into something bigger as years went on.
