The issues needed to address why hip poppers behave the way they do, what makes them behave in certain ways and why these instincts are developed. To address this cultural phenomenon in African-American artists, it is necessary to take an in-depth look at the need for a cultural evolutionary instinct possibility.

Explicit analytical in depth look at the hip pop cultural behavior either by observation or statistics. To describe hip hop, one needs to look at the cultural structures and rational choices in relation to hip pop behavior. These youths have spent most of their lives in inner city regions in America-where cheap settlements, lack of jobs and mostly gangs are the norm. These youths use their experiences as the basis for their lyrics in their albums.

These obscene languages have become a necessity in their every day lives, the need to rebel at every turn has manifested in the cultural evolutionary instinct, interaction at lower levels shows how, why and when these instincts develop. By actively, taking part in this phenomenon, Africans have also embraced the hip pop culture but with caution because of the deep cultural values they possess in the Motherland.

There are in depth structures that are contributing to the level of obscenity experienced in America today because of the liberal laws that allow freedom of speech, thus throwing human and moral values to the curb.

Why do the African-Americans feel the need to develop a sense of identity? Is that why Hip pop is being used as a cultural phenomenon? Is it that a sense of identity is being created as a sense of security or a reason to belong.

Could it be that hip pop culture is a subculture for all African descendants all over, which emerged as a new form of resistance to mainstream culture. If in the African societies as well as some areas in America, where there are lack of proper housing, education (not all African countries) and basic infrastructure, where there are no facilities for youths are imminent, where do minds go? They form groups with values of their own, then conform, to the rules and regulations they have made up, like any other organization in society, with aims and objectives. Thus, Hip pop culture has become a sub-culture, which appears acceptable, attractive, an act of pleasure as well as an act of protest or enrichment, the world over.
