My music genre was Hip-Hop/Rap. To me, hip-hop/rap originated in the streets. It was a form of self expression and a way to stop the crime. However, growing up on the streets, you had to be tough to make it through the day. You couldn't look weak or else people would just start jumping you for money.
In my photo, I believe Tae symbolizes the origins of hip-hop/rap. The background is a really dark alley which may not be for the light hearted. Tae looks at the camera guy as if the camera guy was following him, maybe even about to bounce him. So Tae gives him the look saying like "I know you're not about to fight me" and intimidates the camera man. This is like when someone is on the streets, you have to make sure you at least look tough to make sure people don't mess with you.
