Hip Hop and Rap Conspiracies: The Folklorist's Perspective
On this episode of Mythic Existence, we are going to build off of my previous episode which focused on the folklorist’s approach to conspiracy theories by discussing rap and hip hop conspiracy theories. In the light of the recent tragedy at Travis Scott’s Astroworld performance and the ensuing conspiracy theories, we are going to dissect how these conspiracies voice concerns about racial inequality, and we’ll attempt to understand why these viral ideas propagate in the first place.
