Zusammenfassung

Hiphop hat sich aus einer sozialen und musikalischen Nische heraus zu einem Massenphänomen und prägenden Bestandteil amerikanischer Popkultur mit globaler Reichweite entwickelt. Rapmusik und Hiphop-Kultur sind inzwischen auch eine kommerzielle Erfolgsgeschichte, in der einmal mehr der materialistisch geprägte American Dream realisiert wurde. Wie aber wurde aus dem ursprünglichen Ghetto-Phänomen die heutige Marketingikone, deren einst ausgegrenzten Akteure jetzt von Luxusfirmen umgarnt werden und als erfolgreiche Geschäftsleute und Investoren tätig sind? Dieses Kapitel skizziert die Entwicklung und Kommerzialisierung amerikanischer Hiphop-Kultur in den vier Jahrzehnten von 1979 bis 2019. Dabei werden auch die andauernden Diskussionen über die Bewahrung urbaner Authentizität und die Sorge vor einem (sub-)kulturellen Ausverkauf berücksichtigt. Abschließend steht eine Prognose zur Zukunft der Hiphop-Kultur und -Industrie angesichts aktueller gesellschaftlicher Umbrüche in den USA (Große Teile dieses Kapitels wurden zuerst auf Englisch in Polfuß (Consumption markets & culture 25(3):272–286, 2022) veröffentlicht.).

Der Vertrieb dieser Rapper-Labels erfolgte in der Regel über angeschlossene Major-Labels, von denen sie in einigen Fällen aufgekauft wurden. Das heute größte Major-Label, die Universal Music Group, verdankt seinen Erfolg auch zahlreichen Engagements in der Hiphop-Musik (Watkins, 2005, S. 124–125).
