About this listen
In this episode of Remarkably Ordinary Conversations with Dwight and Denise, Hip Hop
historian, producer, author, and father of three boys, Esteban Serrano reveals how Hip Hop has
shaped his life and defined his role as a father. Esteban explores the perceived nuance between
Hip Hop and Rap. He skillfully points out how Hip Hop as a lifestyle has influenced world
culture in the form of musical expressions—Rap, Drill, Trap—and other forms of storytelling of
urban life. As a storyteller, in his thought-provoking self-help book, “The Ten Dad
Commandments: Fatherhood Through the Lens of Hip-Hop,” Serrano challenges the
preconceived negative notions about Hip Hop culture and recasts them into a user-friendly “Ten
Commandments” guide, admittedly inspired by the genius of The Notorious B.I.G., Biggie
Smalls. Esteban argues that these nuggets aka Commandments can be practiced by any father,
regardless of proximity to Hip-Hop culture. Esteban explores the hard truth about the financial
inequities that remain in the industry but is hopeful as he sees the expression at 50 years as still
being in its infancy.
