Black Culture

I’m black and I’m proud to be a British soul genius

Description

The DJ booth of London’s Jazz Cafe is lined with promotional stickers of hip-hop groups. Next to a colour rosette of Jay-Z, the American star who went top ten with “Hard Knock Life” in 1998, is a monochrome silhouette of the now defunct London trio The Brotherhood. The difference between the natty gloss of the former and the drab design of the latter is a potent symbol of the gulf in status between American and British rap.
