I think that music depicts African-American culture best. Hip Hop and R&B are very distinct forms of music. It differentiates itself from other forms of music with its rhythm and words. Hip Hop began as a way for African-Americans to branch out and tell their stories of struggle. I feel that it has a sound that cannot be imitated and is true to itself. Although Hip Hop has changed throughout time, the basis that it is founded on remains the same. Its a culture outlet, a way to express thoughts rhythmically and creatively.
