Hip Hop Music Analysis

stuff, so I don't listen to that genre all that much, but there are many

In this peer-reviewed academic article the central argument was that in many schools only Caucasian music and literature is being learned about instead of Native American music. This is an issue because children in school now are not able to learn about a different culture due to the limitation of only learning about Caucasian music and literature. Also, another issue is that since the world is made up of many different cultures, the students should be learning about more than one to get a better understanding on that culture. The result of this is children will understand the history of Native Americans and the different types of music from other cultures. Another result is that children will not understand the meanings behind these types of music and literatures.

Tonight (August 17, 2015) on 'Love and Hip Hop Atlanta' it started where it ended off. Jessica Dime had Margeaux perform "Start A War" at the show, Mimi put together but things did not go well after the performance. See clip below.

In this article Robert Tinajero analyzes rap/hip-hop through its Christian religious ethos and the deception of how the media attempts to use rap/hip-hop for the reason why religion ethos in lyrics can change the views of young urban adults to be non-affiliated with a religion (Tinajero, 2013). Rappers use a form of religion in lyrics that have characteristics of the common suffering of Jesus and the mistrust of society with the goods and evils in urban communities.

I’m not sure what to write about because I can’t think about anything in my history beside what contributed to the Birth of Hip Hop since I’m from the Bronx. Maybe I could talk about the birth of me (not the actual birth, but what happened to my parents that makes them who they are and how that got transferred into me). I don’t know much about what happened, but I know when my ma was born in 1969, my grandma moved from some part of the Bronx to somewhere near Fordham. In 1971, when my father was born, my nana and him moved to the Bronx from New Jersey. Even though they ended up near each other, they were raised differently because my grandma had a different work ethic from my nana.

There are many musicians that have changed the face of music. Artists like Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, Madonna and many more that has changed and established cultures of different genres. However the artists that I feel has changed the culture of hip-hop genre are still in control of it still today. The artists are Jay-Z, Nas, and Kanye West, some of the greatest of all time. To me they remind of Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, and Paul Pierce because they’re some of the greatest that are still relevant in today’s hip-hop game. All of them have their own unique style while still adapting to the current style of hip-hop. The question is what makes them some of the greatest of all time and what makes them different amongst each other.

If you’re into hip hop, west coast, pop rap music, then you’d like G-Eazy’s album These Things Happen. This album is about everyday life for him and things that just happen. The mood of his songs are bittersweet, confident, strong and reflective. Artist similar to him are Mac Miller, Macklemore, Wes Walker and Sammy Adams. This album never has got old and it gets me hyped up.

In the context of this paper, it is important to understand the significance of place designation in Hip Hop culture. Dr. Murray Foreman, a professor of media studies at Northeastern University captured this when he stated, “…youth use rap in the deployment of discourses of urban space and more proximate scales of urban locality, or place (Foreman).” Dr. Foreman’s assertion reveals two things. First, urban youth engaging with rap is significant because many black males see Hip Hop as an opportunity to escape and reverse their ill-fated futures as the urban untouchables. Rappers like Shawn “Jay Z” Carter describes this when he raps,

Music has come a long way and everybody dances, listens, and sings to what we call music. In the past few years mainstream music has been overtaken by hip-hop and rap music. Although they have been criticized a lot for its sexual lyrics and violent themes. People feel that that hip-hop music has a focus on sexually-based themes and others feel that rap promotes violence against police officers and innocent citizens. Artists are still making music that promotes neither of these ideas, but more neutral and family and friendly themes. The last few years’ music has shown great styles, themes, and personal taste.

First off, I will say that the two painting would not be categorized as hip-hop because when I look at both of the picture I'm not persuade that the picture have anything to do with hip hop at all. I can say when I see the image of the radio I have a sense that the artist was making that painting in reference to music. The painting of the man the horse would give you some what idea of someone who maybe listen to hip-hop or rap music but you could be wrong so the image gives off less of reason to say it's a picture about hip-hop. Also you could tell the artist who drew the painting of the male on the horse focus on those of the black community because of the way the black male is dressed in the image. That painting also gives you more of a

So, when I listened to Mozart’s piece. I thought this was such an amazing piece to listen to. I liked how it was so different with the rhythm and the changing of sounds between the musicians who played it. It started out as calming and refreshing. Then, suddenly it’s so fast pacing, but in an energetic mode. It’s so amazing I loved it. However, it might sound weird, but I have actually listened to this song before when I was studying. It helps me actually retain a lot of information in such a fast pacing tempo. The melody of this piece stranded out the most. However, while the piece was running along then it was very peaceful and joyful. The performance was very professional. I really liked how the musicians were very properly organized

One of the newest types of music is EDM (Electronic Dance Music), which has become extremely popular in only a short period of time. Here are the top ten EDM songs of June that you should definitely listen to this summer:

Joo developed an early interest in music shortly after her mother put her through piano lessons at the age of 5. She started performing vocally since elementary school and continued to hone her skills throughout high school. As a sophomore in high school, she advanced from an intermediate choir group to the chamber choir group within one semester. During her junior year of high school, she sang the National Anthem in before her high school football games.

Contemporary Rhythm and Blues, best known as modern day R&B is a musical genre that dives down into musical categories of African American origins. The components of R&B are a mixture of Soul, Jazz and the Blues. In most cases, the bass stands out from the song, and the beats are repetitive and predictable in nature, giving it a catchy feature. Furthermore, the beat follows the singer’s vocal high and low notes, as if the beat was singing along. Relating to the lyrics and grooving with the captivating melody are how listeners interact with this genre.

Grime music is a fusion of hip-hop and Jamaican dancehall. The origins of the genre stem from the boroughs of working-class London that are bound by racial segregation and trickle-down economics. The object of study for this paper is Skepta, an artist who has been instrumental in the creation of Grime. He campaigns against the police brutality that occurs in present day London and his lyrics have a common theme that declare fans of the loud genre, the mistreated, and the youth will not let their outcries be silenced. By analyzing the increasing popularity of the genre, I will also demonstrate how Grime spreads anti-establishment beliefs and unites oppressed youth who do not have a voice. I will place special emphasis on the ways in which these
