Since the beginning of the genre, visual art has been associated with hip-hop culture. At first, this association was most pronounced in the form of graffiti and vogue (Fricke and Ahearn 2002). Fab 5 Freddy, Rammellzee, and Jean-Michel Basquiat were renowned hip-hop artists of the era whose creations blurred the lines between music and visual art. Hip-hop has spread throughout the world and affected a wide range of societal aspects, including the arts, the classroom, and popular culture. Many academicians have studied the connections between hip-hop and visual art, fashion, and postmodernism, while others have critically analysed hip-hop's influence on visual culture in response to the potential of this influence. Rap, Hip-Hop, Reggae, or R&B music has long been stigmatised as violent, misogynistic, and a reflection of a society that values aggressive behaviour toward one another. This genre consequently has the ability to alleviate interpersonal and emotional discomfort because it gives the majority of youngsters a cultural perspective through which to express themselves. Some of the following issues are addressed in this paper to show the connection and influence of Visual art and culture: How have partnerships between hip-hop artists and visual art evolved throughout time? What methods of critical discourse on visual culture, cultural appropriation, postmodernism, and/or aesthetics can be used to promote knowledge of hip-hop/rap in classrooms? How do writers and authors present a nuanced argument that Hip-Hop Pedagogy can be implemented as a type of culturally responsive instruction?
