I’ve always wondered what would happen if those hip-hop rappers that love to gesticulate on stage went and actually made those “gang signs” in actual sign languages. Guess this is the closest thing I’ll get to that! #DipHop

Dip hop is a style of rap that sprang from the Deaf community, using sign languages and informed by Deaf cultural experiences. In this @TheConversationUS article, musicologist Katelyn Best looks at the birth of the genre, its many forms, and how it is breaking into the mainstream.

Deaf rappers who lay down rhymes in sign languages are changing what it means for music to be heard

Dip hop artists move across the stage, hands flying through the air, as audiences pulse to the rhythm of a blasting bass beat.
