<h1>Ep 5 | David Hesmondhalgh</h1>
Renowned media scholar Dr. David Hesmondhalgh sits down with Dr. Evans to explore the political economy of the cultural industries. The two discuss the origins of hip-hop within the contexts of race, gender, and class, referencing Tricia Rose’s claim that hip-hop was initially a rehabilitative force within Black communities. Hesmondhalgh shares his insights on the commercialization of hip-hop, the challenges of maintaining authenticity in the mainstream, and how music continues to be a powerful force for social change.
