For this discussion I focus my attention on the recent arrest of celebrity Chris Brown. It was alleged that he pointed a gun to a woman’s face who in fear run away. “The incident began early Tuesday when the LAPD received a 911 call about a woman claiming she had been threatened by the performer, police said. Officers arrived about 3 a.m. at the estate in the 5000 block of Corbin Avenue. The woman, Baylee Curran, told The Times that Brown pointed a gun at her during a violent rage before she ran outside. Curran said she and a friend went to Brown’s home with a business associate, who was invited by the musician. She wanted to talk to Brown about future projects, she said”. (LaTimes, 2016). The victim in this case was obviously the girl who alleged that Chris pointed a gun at her.

Nearly 20,000 members reside in the city of Chicago, where the FBI considers this group a “major organized crime group” (Mallory, 2012, p. 208). The Gangster Disciples were formed after the death of the group’s original leaders, David Barksdale (Mallory, 2012). A young man who was already a member of the group, Larry Hoover become the new leader of the Gangster Disciples because he was a person that Barksdale watched over (Mallory, 2012). After his death, the group split into the Black Disciples and the Gangster Disciples (Mallory, 2012). The group became prone to violence

Tupac then joined the rap group, Digital Underground, as a dancer. Shortly before the group received award-winning success, Tupac released his own album, "2Pacalypse Now," which was a great success. His hit single, "Brenda's Got A Baby," sky-rocketed his career. His remarkable talent got him a role in the motion picture "Juice." Eventually he released his second album, "Strictly For My N.I.G.G.A.Z.," which was even a bigger hit and introduced his music to the pop charts.

It is no secret Snoop Dogg likes to smoke marijuana. But apparently more than that, he likes to invest in marijuana. Snoop has his paws on a number of marijuana business lines and he continues to expand.

Atlanta-based rapper Young Thug (real name Jeffrey Williams) was arrested earlier today in Sandy Springs, Georgia for making terrorist remarks. The arrest took place around 6 a.m. and was made by U.S. Marshals who were carrying an outstanding warrant for his arrest.

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

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.

Niatia “Lil Mama” Kirkland has had many roles throughout her career. She’s a dancer, an actress, an entertainer and television personality. But many now only know her as a meme, or a played out joke. Lil Mama’s first single, “Lip Gloss” came out in 2007 and was the game changer for her becoming career. “Lip Gloss” had all of the makings of a one-hit wonder a catchy beat, a less catchy dance to accompany it, and an everyday item, lip gloss, as its focal point.

After reading these next set of chapters my opinion on Gucci Mane and his morals are evolving. Gucci Mane and most rappers become famous from their notorious history of bad behavior and how long their rap sheet is. Gucci Mane had a rough upbringing and his way to work through it was to deal drugs, until he found music. Zaytoven Gucci Mane’s new friend became the perfect role model for him. Zaytoven was the complete opposite of Gucci, he went to church, he didn’t curse, and he didn’t drink or do drugs. They started spending more and more hours together engulfed with their mutual love for music, when finally Zay convinced Gucci he should rap. Gucci said yes and off they went hard at work to produce Gucci Mane’s first
