The sentence is made up of two independent clauses that are not properly connected. To combine them properly, a subordinating conjunction like "although" or "while" should be used to introduce the second clause, and a comma should be placed after the subordinating conjunction. Example: "Hip-hop has affected music around the world, although it has also influenced fashion."
