Forbes magazine deemed that Hip Hop culture will dominate by the year 2020 "Hip-hop has evolved since it rose to prominence in the 1970s, from being deemed as a negative influence that had to be met with the force of the FBI, to becoming the most popular genre in the world. Nonetheless, hip-hop culture extended its own parameters by permeating the realms of sports, tech and venture capitalism. By the next election cycle, it will have dominated these three industries, too." These images explore the looks we associate with " black hip hop" and also merged them with a pop background to emphasis the coming popularity of the rise of this above statement.
