Documentary: Haitian Hip Hop
So I stumbled on this on my quest to understand the Haitian Hip Hop scene. All the years that I have been going to Haiti I only knew of Kompa, American Hip Hop, and Wyclef. Never would I have thought that Reggae from Jamaica would be as big as it is because of the language barrier. I also never knew about Hip Hop in Kreyol, the language of my people. Even when I was down there recently I took it to be something that recently surfaced but this documentary explains so much more the history of hip hop in Haiti and also the reason why it would surface. That reason is to voice your tiny, tired voice. B.I.C is a prominent group. You can equate them to Gully, Gaza, Dipset, G-Unit, and so on. They do their own thing but also are affiliated with the group. B.I.C and Rock Fam are basically like Gully Vs Gaza. They have basically formed gangs having “slogans”, graffiti, hand signs, sound rivalry.
