| dc.description.abstract | The symbiotic relationship between motion picture and music cannot be over-emphasised as both stands as an important aspect of the expressive art form. Movies represents and mirrors the society while music communicates emotions, complements the storyline and expresses the characters’ inner feelings. This study explores the interrelationship between popular music and Nollywood by investigating the occurrence and implication of hip hop music in the movie the Wedding Party. Through in-depth content analysis of the data (movie) a larger occurrence of hip hop music was isolated and classified which indicated the popularity of the genre and its acceptance amongst all age grades. The research also validates the argument that hip hop music and its associated culture is becoming the toast and major feature of the mainstream wedding ceremonies in Nigeria today | |
