Hip Hop Is The Best?

Kanye West also known as "Yeezy" is American rapper, fashion disaster, and also music producer. People may say that Mr. West is our youth of today voice. He has made a tremendous mark in the music and fashion industry. As we all know Mr. West is known for having his moments. It is safe to say that he has the best and top “omg” Moments, such as interrupting Taylor Swift at the VMA’s. Kanye in the begging when he first came on the hip hop scene was this calm, joyful, his music in my eyes was the most different music out at the time, just because he wasn’t rapping about what everyone else was. Kanye was one of those joyful guys, everybody wanted him on his record or produce it. Then a tragic event occurred where his mom died. After then you see

Hip Hop was birthed in the neighborhood, where young people gathered in parks, on playgrounds, and neighborhood street corners, to verbalize poetry over spontaneous sounds and adopted melodies. Hip Hop was not just the music; it was also a way for the young to show their skills in break dancing, gymnastic dance style that was valued, and athleticism over choreographed fluidity. Hip hop was also fashion such as: hats, jackets, gold chains, and name-brand sneakers. Hip Hop was a form of graffiti, to a new way of expression that engaged spray paint on the subway walls as the canvas. In addition, today’s hip hop have changed as where the DJ was once is now the producer as the key music maker, and the park is now a studio.

It’s a culture that has gotten so big that its influence can be seen everywhere from movies, commercials, and even pop songs. “We live in a popularity contest now,” says the rapper Chuck Inglish. The genre has become so recognized to the point of over saturation, in addition the music industry has monopolized the radio to dumb down the masses with homogenous rap songs made by a handful of people. So it’s up to the listener to “Put our money where our ears want to be,” and support fresh, creative, and unique hip hop. If the listeners become intent with such sub standard expectations, then the authenticity of Hip Hop will die

Hell, looking back at my childhood, it sure does feel good knowing I was born a millennial. I don’t even want to know who I’d be today if I had grown up in a generation where Lil’ Wayne wasn’t regarded as the world’s most symbolic and quintessential rapper thanks to his ‘gangsta’ esthetic and unparalleled wordplay. Sadly, paragons with the likes of Wanye have gradually strayed further away from God’s light through the years; consequently, as the cycle of life continues to push forward and more people begin adding to the craft, it’s impossible to imagine where people will place these artists on their list decades down the line. Prayerfully not too low, but due to the unfathomable amount of overrated, mindless rappers that both music listeners have tagged as faces for a new generation, hip-hop culture should be prepared to reach its lowest point. This new-wave of overly-glorified rappers need to start being taken for what they truly are and once you get a listen of their generic, monotonous music, it goes without saying that they are average at best.

Hip hop culture is known for its negative reputation. It is often thought as an entrance way into gangs, illegal drug activity, and malicious behavior. In today’s culture it is important to lead kids toward a positive direction in life but the hip hop culture of today is not steering youth in that direction. This is because hip-hop has moved away from what it was supposed to be used for. This genre of music was supposed to be used to for personal expression and growth not to create negative images for the youth and encourage them to change their behaviors and beliefs. Hip hop was supposed to give hope to the youth. Give them a reason to pursue their dreams and give them a positive outlook on life. Are there artists who keep it “old

He had a lot music opportunities such as him having songs on the Top 100 for eight years straight. People say Drake tends to shape genres to his liking and also overcome charts. People also say he can change the radio (Cox 57). The people that listened to his music notices that it was different from other rap songs (Isabell 14). He has a grip on the music industry (Cox 57). His first album sold half a million copies and shattered records (Cox 57). His only long acting job was when he was on the show Degrassi: The Next Generation for 7 years (Isabell

Right now, Hip Hop began to move from what it was planned for, to being a shallow deals trick. Hip Hop was, at its initiation, a methods for African Americans recount their unaltered story. Towards the mid-'90s although, the class started to be much a greater number of offers than it was at any point was some time recently. Artists, for example, Nas for instance, started to stray from their honest to goodness and genuine selves to begin making music about drugs, brutality, and sex since that was what pushed their deals to the corporate level. With this

In seventh grade, I stumbled my way upon the Detroit based rapper Eminem. I was at 150 listens on his track The Real Slim Shady before I knew it. I then found my way into Kanye West, which exploded my interest into the genre. I have listened to all of the considered essential hip hop “classic” and modern day albums. I noticed in these “classic” albums very distinct change in subject matter and style that each of the different areas of rappers on where they originate from. Some people believe that the hip-hop culture is at a decline with the lose of this uniqueness and individuality shown in each of these areas. I too even thought that the hip-hop culture was at a decline until I was researching my topic, but instead this individuality and uniqueness in the rapper’s different stories that they tell in their raps. The genre has expanded throughout the world and continued to evolve while sticking to these roots of individuality and uniqueness.

In the early 70’s Hip Hop was the most popular music for not just black but other races. I think that Hip Hop can Positive and negative. Old Hip Hop is inspirational and motivational it bring out a message that you can learn form. New generation Hip Hop has changed to a more negative inspiration to the community. New generation tries to focus on the bad thing that are going on around you. It bring a bad option to our race because other races think that all blacks act the same. Most new generation Hip Hop influences people to do drugs, alcohol, money, and sex. Real Hip Hop comes from your heart.

Something that affects every genre of music, and is almost always agreed upon, is the fact that music is evolving Hip-hop is no exception. Unfortunately, it is not always a whole consensus that the music comes out better. In J-Zone’s article of “5 Things That Killed Hip-Hop,” he writes with poor academic tone, atrocious grammar, and non-cohesive paragraphs structure. He tells the readers his opinions of the change in hip-hop. His argument that hip-hop is dying is legitimate, and is backed up by his statements about social media, clans in the music industry, and copyrighting.

Today’s hip hop have changed as where the DJ was once is now the producer as the key music maker, and the park was once is now a studio.

Drake does a good job of making the song clearly about him being a legend. Marxist criticism best explains the lyrics, because he is talking about being better than others and having power over others. My researchable topic is “What does it truly mean to be a legend?”. The dictionary definition that I found on www.quora.com/How-does-a-person-become-legendary, says: "Legendary is an adjective that others can assign you.""Legendary

First off, this album was exceptional because it was different from any other album I have heard. I especially like the way drake articulated this album and he is actually one of my favorite artists. He is one of my favorite artists because when Drake raps or sings, he shows everyone basically how he is feeling inside and he has a deeper meaning to it than just words. For instance, people can relate to what he is saying because they can put themselves in his shoes, or they are going through what he is singing about, which is why it makes it easier for his album to be liked. For this reason, this makes him a different rapper, because instead of rapping or singing about what the usual rappers rap about such as getting money, partying, and getting girls, he actually expresses his real emotions instead of covering them up and acting as if he doesn 't care. Additionally, he doesn 't

Out of all the dances that have faded away, hiphop dance still remains one of the top dances. It is very interesting to watch and very fun to perform it. For instance,"No matter how old or young you are, you can enjoy dancing hip hop either in a club or on stage"(1). Unlike the ballet, jazz, classical dances, Hiphop can be performed by people any age. It had been popularize by many celebrities and media.With all these popularity hiphop danced has kept its place in society with the new generation youth excited to perticipate. There are many dance classes still running and making great profit keeping the hiphop dance alive.

Hip Hop in the most popular genre of music between all African American communities, not just in America, but worldwide. Hip Hop has expanded itself into music, fashion, advertisement, movies, and it’s given many rappers, and those associated with the genre, the chance to influence their communities, societies and their culture in general, but commercial Hip Hop in the U.S. has branded Hip Hop in a negative way. (The Young and The Hip-Hop, Hip Hop Culture Center in Harlem, 2012, Web, Oct. 27, 2014) This is all due to the negative imagery and negative lyrics like the term nigga, negative implications of Hip Hop include exploiting black adolescent girls, promoting unhealthy lifestyles, and implying that the open use of the word nigga is not harmful. Hip Hop has become a global phenomenon where it has evolved from a genre of music to a lifestyle for the African American community.
