In this essay the author investigates the link between hip-hop culture and cubism, an art movement of the early 20th century that was mainly prevalent in Europe. The central focus of the article is on the author's contention that both hip-hop and cubism grew out of the influence of Africa on contemporary art and music. A number of topics are addressed including the activities of the group of cubist painters including Pablo Picasso and George Braque, hip-hop culture and globalization, and aspects of post-colonialism.
