There are multiple examples of African American culture in popular culture. A few to name are music/dance, fashion and food. Many popular dance moves and steps in the current and past American cultures were constructed and orginated within African Amerian culture. The movements are like no other movements that other cultures have used. African American culture has made its place in popular music as well, from R&B to Rap, Hip Hop to Blues and many other musical genres. Rap and Hip Hop, for example, were meant to talk about the struggles African Americans had to endure and the challenges they faced. Rap and Hip Hop lyrics were also meant to speak on the struggles and lives of African Americans before them. African American food has also had an impact on popular culture; bringing an array of foods, spices and flavors to popular culture.
