What kind of music inspires you? When asked this question most people’s first response would not be Rap or Hip-Hop. Listening to today’s rap music you hear the same rhythmic beat sampled and re-sampled to words that promote a “look at what I have theme”. But in 2013 an artist scaled the charts with a style and twist to Hip-Hop that appears to transcend genres. The commercial success of the album The Heist by Ben Haggerty (Macklemore), produced by Ryan Lewis, has transformed society’s notion that today’s rap music only glorifies drug and alcohol use, is materialistically centered, and homophobic.
In her essay “Redeeming the Rap Music Experience”, Venise Berry explains her strongest points on how rap has made an impact in music; not only for being a necessary genre of music but also having effective form of communication throughout the black society.

At the beginning stages of reading Lullabies for Little Criminals, written by Heather O'Neill, I developed the impression that it was going to be very sad and depressing due to the difficult storyline.
