  hip hop rap   Love connections can mirror or metaphorically reflect ideas about family/community connections, traditions and support- In other words - Love between a couple can suggest larger love and commitments to and between black commun'rties. For example, in the movie Brown Sugar, the couple Sidney and Dre find themselves separated and in relationships that are problematic. Love between the couple does not happen until the couple focuses on hip hop, its origins and meanings for black people rather than hip hop as a vehicle for mere profit and acceptance in mainstream communities. The comic mockery of the Dalmatian Brothers is one way the film exposes this. They are black and white and the interaction and connection become a mockery of black origins and its seriousness and connections. The movie also suggests that in a rush for approval and acceptance in capitalist worlds, Blacks have abandoned themselves and a deeper love for self and for blackness. So the question is how do the films of the modules suggest or not suggest a larger connection, appreciation and respect? How does the relationship between the couple(s) and between other people mirror or suggest love by and for black people among themselves and their culture? How does it suggest lack of appreciation by outside sources? Compare and contrast Just Wright with Brown Sugar specifically to look at ways music suggests healthy black love or how healthy black community can survive or come under attack With Just Wright the emphasis may be on soundtrack, with Brown Sugar, on musical performers or both may be useful to look at.
