Atlanta's Migos

had gained all throughout Los Angeles, California. During the 70’s-90’s, racism was still at huge. Nobody knew what was going on behind closed doors because we did not have social media back then. High tech phones/cameras and technology that advanced were not accessible at the time to actually view the rawness of what was going on in the field. Ethos is demonstrated by N.W.A. by their status. By status I mean that N.W.A. was a famous and well known rap group which featured only African Americans (Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, MC Ren, DJ Yella). The five were originally big known rappers/producers prior to them coming together to form the group. So people already knew about them from a musical/hip-hop perspective and throughout the Los Angeles community, which is where they all resided from. N.W.A. had already gained that trust/credibility (ethos) from the community because of how high their status was at the time (famous

The birthplace of hip-hop in New York City to be exact 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in the Bronx is where it all began. DJ Kool Herc was from Kingston, Jamaica. His birth given name was Clive Campbell and he later moved to Bronx, New York. When he moved to New York he already had the knowledge of a mobile sound system. The foundation of hip-hop was created when he showed off his DJing skills to the Bronx community. The party that was being held was Herc’s little sister back to school party. He was entertaining the party and ended up trying something new on the turntables by extending an instrumental beat to let the people dance longer then he would begin rapping during the extended breakdancing. He mostly played funk records like James Brown and Jimmy Castor Bunch. Dj Kool Herc later than started to drift away when hip-hop became more popular. At this time hip-hop was not national or international at all. The in the 80’s

The success the N.W.A group artists consists of avoiding being taking advantage of by managers who do it because artists know less about paperwork, transactions and which type of business to do at the right point of time. O’shea Ice Cube Jackson got into a financial dispute between him and the N.W.A manager, Jerry Heller. The dispute was settled in-court in 1990. After the fact, Cube continued a successful solo career. After that the N.W.A continued working on the same path, despite of the obstacles by being criticized by politicians, Ban of sales from few retailers because it was the purest form “Gangsta Rap” full of violence, misogyny, but also a lot of humor, and pathos. Politicians spent amounts of energy to stop it from being something, it was simply wild. The politicians might take the side that says this specific type of music influence young African Americans to do crimes and do what gangs do as described in the songs yet, the beauty of it is that it’s purely honest, and making Compton visible on the world

Both Kendrick and Migos put out some bangers on the regular, but I am here to convince you about Kendrick Lamar being the better of the two. Kendrick has a style of rapping like no other it from playing whole or in decoded speed up backward messages to rapping about his mother's harsh punishments for seven minutes on his track FEAR. on the album DAMN. he has catchy lyrics, and he has some of modern rap's most classic and best albums ( ‘Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City’ and To pimp a butterfly are some personal favorites). Migos does not have nearly as many albums as Kendrick or experience they make good songs that get played out in a couple of weeks, but you can always catch someone bumping to some Kendrick. Offset, one member of the Migos group did make a big accomplishment with collaborating with 21 Savage and Metro Boomin on the album “Without Warning.” Takeoff has not done anything out on his own really unlike the more successful of the group Quavo and Offset, but he is still

The genre created in very poor districts, like the Bronx, in New York by African-American and Latino teenagers. They learned how to use turntables by working as DJs at discos. DJs and MCs would play at free block parties. An MC is an abbreviation for Master of Ceremony his/her job is to focus on skills, lyrical ability, and subject. So, during block parties, the DJ would play music and the MC encouraged guest to have fun. Parties went on MCs slowly started to rhyme while they were performing. Hip-Hop was only played live at first until Sugar Hill Gang released Rappers Delight in 1979. Rappers Delight was a huge success for hip-hop. Personally, I consider the Sugar Hill Gang the founding fathers of Hip-Hop.

Music can rock your world, enlighten your mind and change your perspective. When you think of rap music who comes first to mind? Without hesitation, it must be the self acclaimed best rapper alive, Lil Wayne. He alone can make such statements as “My picture should be in the dictionary next to the definition of definition” (Wayne, “Shoot Me Down”). Lil Wayne is a prominent force in the rap world. His debut Album in 1999, Tha Block is Hot went double platinum upon its release and even his lowest selling album is still certified as gold according to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Rollingstone Magazine declares “Lil Wayne is one of the most popular — and prolific — recording artists in the world” (Kreps). Top this with

In 1993, Ishmael Beah along with his brother Junior and their friend Talloi experienced a new kind of music called "Rap". These young kids loved the expression of rap and hip hop and the culture behind it. Since it wasn't very popular in Sudan.They had organized a rap group when he was just eight and had been rapping together ever since. They had first seen that kind of music on television and met every other weekend to study it. They didn’t even know for a long time what it was called, but were impressed with the fact that black fellows knew how to speak English really fast and to the beat. Later on, Junior had gone to secondary school where other boys had taught him more about foreign music and dance. This is how they came to know about hip-hop.

Long ago, at a small village next to Roc-A-Fella peaks, there lived three young boys. Jermaine, Nas, and Kendrick. Kendrick was a descendant of the lightning district of the village, Nas was born and raised in the fire district, and Jermaine was a simple village boy who grew crops and raised cattle. Ever since the village was established it was divided into four main groups. The fire district, the lightning district, the village folk, and the All Mighty’s. Mostly all lived in peace until one day.

After Rameck and Sam heard George about going to college for free, they got interested in the program too. Knowing what to do, saved them from hanging out with their old friends in the neighborhood, and the trouble their friends in the neighborhood had. Tries to get good grades, study for tests, compete with each other and sharing free time with each other took up all their time. Joining the program and study to become a doctor in the future keeps them away from the life normal African American kid had. African Americans graduate high school or dropped out of high school then spent their days in the neighborhood, steal, do drugs and go to jail. After that, George and Rameck got engrossed in rap. They compete with others, challenge each other by rapping back and forth. Then came up with the idea to form a group. They named themselves A.R.T.,Another Rough Tribe. Sam became their manager and contributed 500 dollars. The more they practice, the better they got and wanted to go to a studio to put together some original beats and record songs, and decided to send the song they made to record companies. When a NBA player who managed a couple of rap groups sent them a letter saying he wants to hear

It was twenty years ago that the rap group N.W.A with Ice Cube as its most vital lyricist released its album “Straight Outta Compton”. They called their music reality rap, everyone else called it gangsta and music history was made. Hip hop music came from the clubs and sidewalks of New York City as party music made with turntables and rhymes by performers who usually couldn’t afford music instruments. It was party music and then it came west and got a beat down by a swaggering collective that called itself N.W.A. They took the genre to the dangerous side of the street (Boucher,2008).

To begin, McBride elaborates on the birth of “modern” hip hop in the Bronx. He claims that because “New York City was nearly broke” (McBride 790), arts funding was slashed and children could not “squeal on [their clarinets] and drive [their] parents nuts”. Naturally, McBride figured that teenagers like Afrika Bambaataa and others took to hip hop music and disc jockeying as a different, ingenious way to get under parents’ skin. To some extent, this may be true; however, another possible source of the music could have been to escape the daily struggles of living within the city. It is known that in the 1970s “arson fires, rampant crime and poverty pushed [Bronx] residents out in droves” (NY Times 1). Including this factoid would have tied together

South Florida is now being said to be the "New Atlanta" with the recent emergence of artist like Kodak Black, Zoey Dollars, Lalaun slim, and Denzel Curry. Mainstream has taking a fond liking to our local talent, which leads us ova he's at EM to ask "who's next?" And to no surprise that list seems endless! With talents like Berg, iamDoogie, KolyP, Robb Bank$, Young Simmie, IndigoChildRock, they all seem ready for that next level. But what separates the real from the fake? The glitter from the gold? Mildew from BBQ? WORK!

Hip-Hop emerged in the 1970’s upon the arrival of a one Kool DJ Herc. Kool DJ Herc migrated to the United States from Kingston, Jamaica and settled in the West Bronx of New York. Kool DJ Herc was a disc jockey that attempted to incorporate his Jamaica style of disc jockeying, which involved reciting improvised rhymes over reggae records. Unfortunately for Kool DJ Herc New York seemed

The Breakfast Club had an interview with Migos on the news. The breakfast club is consisted of 3 people which is Dj Envy, Angela Yee and Charlemagne the God. They were sitting down and Dj Envy said a comment I guess the Migos took wrong, so they told the camera man to wrap up everything so it wouldn’t start anything. The media made it a big deal trying to make a story up for the interview to look like it went bad.

Hip-Hop is a cultural movement that emerged from the dilapidated South Bronx, New York in the early 1970’s. The area’s mostly African American and Puerto Rican residents originated this uniquely American musical genre and culture that over the past four decades has developed into a global sensation impacting the formation of youth culture around the world. The South Bronx was a whirlpool of political, social, and economic upheaval in the years leading up to the inception of Hip-Hop. The early part of the 1970’s found many African American and Hispanic communities desperately seeking relief from the poverty, drug, and crime epidemics engulfing the gang dominated neighborhoods. Hip-Hop proved to be successful as both a creative outlet for
