"Hip" is redundant in that sentence, it's older slang mostly replaced by "cool".

cool ~ hip ~ with it

These all indicate being in the know about the latest popular life styles, especially in clothing, speech, and music, so as to make oneself look good in the eyes of other cool, hip people.

Hip is slang from the 1950's. In the 1960's, it led to the noun "hippie" = people who were "hip".

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/hippie?s=t

c.1965, Amer.Eng. (Haight-Ashbury slang), from earlier hippie, 1953, usually a disparaging variant of hipster (1941) "person who is keenly aware of the new and stylish," from hip "up-to-date"

Hippie: a member, during the 1960s and 1970s, of a countercultural movement that rejected the mores of mainstream American life. The movement originated on college campuses in the United States, although it spread to other countries, including Canada and Britain. The name derived from "hip," a term applied to the Beats of the 1950s, such as Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac, who were generally considered to be the precursors of hippies. Although the movement arose in part as opposition to U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War (1955-75), hippies were often not directly engaged in politics.
