Adorno and Horkheimer’s Cultural Industry Theory (1944) on Hip-Hop Music

Adorno and Horkheimer’s theory applies to hip-hop music, as the products that are created by institutions are consistent, inauthentic, and repetitive. This can be shown throughout a variety of artists who create hip-hop genre music, as usually, the  songs and their videos are centered around money/materials, violence (guns)/murder and girls.
