Wed Dec 24 2025
Send us a text
We explore hip-hop as a culture with the reach to improve classrooms, counseling, and civic life, not just a playlist on the radio. Manny Faces shares how authenticity, the cipher, and a remix mindset can bridge divides and build skills that matter.
• hip-hop defined as culture, rap as expression within it
• New York roots, global spread, universality across groups
• media narratives versus the diverse golden age of the 90s
• sociological storytelling in lyrics and lived context
• classroom engagement through hip-hop pedagogy and ciphers
• counseling and trauma work via studio-based group sessions
• transferable skills: literacy, public speaking, SEL, improvisation
• Gangsta grass as a case of authentic cultural fusion
• core tenets: peace, love, unity, and having fun
• a “macro remix” approach to politics and economy
