The study determined if the hip hop culture influenced the collegiate experience, specifically attitude, socialization, and personal goals. Qualitative research methodology resulted in the use of semi-structured interviews. Participants were traditional undergraduate students who self-identified as listening to hip hop music at Ball State University. Data were collected in January and February of 2006.The hip hop culture influenced the socialization of the student participants. Participant attitude was seldom influenced by the hip hop culture. Mainstream hip hop had minimal influence on the personal goals of students. The hip hop culture was more than music to the undergraduate students; it was a way of life and provided the motivation to pursue an education. / Department of Educational Leadership
