Summary/Abstract: Recently, when philosophy is becoming the field of purely academic interest and is mostly discussedin this environment, there is an increasing need to take it out, beyond the walls of the universities andengage others in the issues.One method might be based on presenting philosophy through phenomena which reach the mass receivers.In this short article I will attempt to prove that hip-hop may be a foundation to discuss philosophydue to the message that hip-hop music carries. This issue is studied with a special focus on ethics as afield of practical philosophy. The first part of the article briefly describes the hip hop subculture. Then itdeals with the recognition of mass art. All of this leads to the attempt to find the common areas of hip--hop and the philosophical thought.
