Abstract

This article examines the social determinants of hip‐hop culture in Britain. Using data from the Great Britain Class Survey and drawing on work done over the last twenty years on the roots and development of hip‐hop culture and rap music in Britain, it shows that preference for hip‐hop music has a dual elective affinity with status‐dominated groups in postcolonial Britain ̶ such as social agents identifying as "Black, Black British, Caribbean and African" and the dominated classes. Through this object of study, it is possible to rethink the heuristic character of the distinction between class and status. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
