Critical Review: Back 1996 part 2

In the second half of "Inglan, nice up!", Back focuses on the crossover effect of the 80's and 90's in London Black music. He talks about hip-hop, reggae, soul and 90's dancehall music and has an ethnographic moment in a dancefloor. He talks about how the different genre's and different races have all intermixed and lost their initial definition as you enter 90's Britain. I found this very interesting because while there are many different genres of Black music in the US, they haven't had this same effect and are still distinct from one another.

Discussion Question:
In the US, has there been more of an "intermezzo" with hip-hop and pop music than within Black genres of music?
