Kevin Teryek Kusini/Kevlexicon, edited by Monaja 28 November, 2012 Lecture notes Kazi Kwa Washamba Hip Hop and Hustling in East Africa First of all, I’d like to dedicate this lecture to all the East African hip hop heads I’ve been fortunate enough to work with. With this project particularly I’d like to thank Mwongela Kamencu, aka Monaja for editing and for his translation and analysis of “Angalia Saa.” Brief outline of Kenyan History I’d like to provide a context for understanding East African hip hop. To this end, I’d like to give a brief outline of Kenyan history. • The two official languages in Kenya are KiSwahili and English. There are over 42 other local languages, referred to as “mother tongues.” Swahili is a mixture of coastal Bantu and Arabic.

This is partly because progressive people quite correctly observe that “It is very clear, upon reflection, what function law serves within any culture. It protects the culture’s ideology. Under capitalism it protects property, the men who own it and guard it.” From this observation, it is only a brief inferential step to the conclusion that, because law is a product and perpetuator of corporate interests in this country, it cannot be a force for significant socioeconomic change. But while this conclusion is logical in a mechanistic-sense, it is illogical, and therefore wrong, in a dialectical sense: According to the materialist conception of history, the ultimately determining element in history is the production and reproduction of real life… [I]f somebody twists this into saying that the economic element is the only determining one, he transforms that propositionRead More →
