Music Analysis: Trap Hall

Mickey grew up on a farm helping his mom and dad raise and feed the animals. He did not have much of a social life as his parents took him out of school as they felt he would not succeed in the general education program. Mickey is working on his GED which is briefly mentioned in the movie, but is a big accomplishment. Growing up, many social workers and school psychologists have come and gone,

Adoff makes music with the words and space in “Street Music” by writing all the descriptive words by separating each letter of the word with spaces and the words that made a sound would be written normally, without spaces in between the letters. For example, at the beginning of the poem, the speaker describes the city and where the noise in this city is coming from. Hence, he separated his words into letters with spaces, an example from is when the speaker states that “T h i s c i t y:/ t h e / a l w a y s / n o i s e / g r i n d i n g” (1-5). Another example of this is “an o r c h e s t r a” (24). On the other hand, words that are used for the actual sounds are written normally in this poem, such as “slamming from bus tires” and “taxi horns”

While Steve Dahl and his followers felt out of place, the more important disruption was not white rock fans who were fearful that their music and culture were under siege. It was the Black, Latinx, and LGBT communities who saw the white-washing and erasure of their sexual identities to appease dominant white audiences that were enthralled with this faux version of disco. And once the economic profitability of disco was discovered, it swiftly arose and transformed to accommodate white, heteronormative ideologies for mainstream music and pop culture spaces that ignored the implications of white-washing and heterosexist undercurrents. There was no turning back. Disco was extremely lucrative in above-ground spaces and because of its profitability,

Trap music is a sub-genre formed out of rap music first created in the late 90’s in the southernmost part of the United States. While the sub-genres actual creators are unknown, the first artists to adopt the musical style where Gucci Mane, Triple Six Mafia, and UGK (Music Origins). The similarities trap music has on rap music is almost uncanny, due to the involvement of rap music without the vocal and lyrical aspect. Thus, trap music has gained a following from new and upcoming artists including The Migos, Chief Keef, 21 Savage, and Lil Uzi Vert, who have brought the subgenre onto a mainstream level. The definition of the word “trap” refers to a place where drugs are often, made and sold

I come from a musical family. All my years growing up, I've always had an interest in music. My uncle loves poetry and my parent's rap, but I was always the one who didn't know how to rap or sing or anything. I was more interested in the instrumentals. Every single song I've listened to I was always into the beat or instrumental instead of the lyrics. I've never really thought of producing until I was inspired by a YouTube page. The page I came across is called Trap Nation. They have all sorts of nice instrumentals that really inspired me.

Frank Romero was born in 1941 in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in a culturally mixed, middle class community and was well into his career when he identified himself as a Latino artist. During the height of the Chicano movement in the early 1970s, he and other artists founded a group named “Los Four.” The group originally consisted of Roberto de la Rocha, Gilbert

“It is, then, all the odder that major figures concerned with education, in both nations, continue to behave as if the goal of education were economic growth alone.” Pg. 17

There is a common misperception in society today that the roots of rock and roll began in the 1950s with Elvis Presley shaking his hips. Few know that the roots of rock and roll actually go all the way back to slavery. Rock and roll first got its start with the blues and has since evolved over time into the rock and roll we now know of today. As each new band and artist would come along, they would go on to add their own sound to the mix, and once it was introduced it would never be taken away. The influence of blues artists, such as Mamie Smith, and hillbilly (country and folk) artists such as Hank Williams, could be heard in the music of 1950s rockers Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley, and their influence could be heard in one of the most famous

The first piece I heard was C. Lindberg’s Akbank Bunka, Lahav Shani was Conductor and David Bilger on Trumpet. From a lover of Miles Davis, David is extremely skilled at his craft. I felt that the piece was of a polyphonic texture meaning when the melody is performed against another line of equal importance, the texture is Polyphonic. As an example, when David Bilger and the orchestra blended their textures, melodies and David Bilger together it gave the piece complexity. Also, there was great harmony, which enriches the sound of the melody throughout the piece, which is the sound created by multiple notes, played simultaneously. I personally enjoyed the string instruments in this piece since it complimented the trumpet.

The issue of trap music being better than lyrical rap music is important because trap music is all about artists explain their tough times in life, collecting fame, and adding meaning to their music. Lyrical rappers have nothing similar to “Trappers”, there music just doesn’t reach out to the community as much as Trap music does. Lyrical rappers are just “overrated” and just does not compare to the hardships and hard work these rappers went through as a kid and they just do not put forth the effort needed to be a excellent rapper in all category. This issue is debatable because while some believe that lyrical rap can be better than trap because of the lyrical geniuses involved, others believe that trap has

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.

In my perceptive racism has been within the music industry for decades. This has caused many rivalries between record labels such as ASCAP and AFM American Federation of Musicians. During the Swing Era authoritative intuitions created laws over the rights of Musicians. This led to the separation of Big Bands declining along with war and deaths of jazz musicians. The music industry has focused mainly on marketing to target the general audience the Caucasian population.

My life started on a boring Tuesday in Sioux Falls, South Dakota when I was born to Kristi and Jeff Paulsen on June 13, 2000. I was born weighing seven pounds and three ounces. My mom was a nurse in the gastrointestinal unit and my dad was a CPA. Neither of them had any musical talent, in fact, my mom was kicked out of choir and was the last chair baritone in band class every year. But by the time I reached seventeen, they had instilled a love of music in me, with the help of others, that would guide me to my future.

One specific thing that I found interesting with this chapter was the song lyrics Prince chose to include from the concert at Warehouse 21: “…and you could tell us all, it was just protocol, but we all know, you defended yourself for the first time”. It’s clear that these lyrics were pulled from the middle of a song, and she could have chosen any lyrics; are we really to believe that she just happened to like these lyrics the most? I believe that Prince chose to include these specific lyrics to foreshadow the ending, in a way. The ending, as I discussed, was Prince telling a cashier that she was a girl, and not a man, as he said. “It was just protocol” is meant to essentially be the reaction anyone would have to being misgendered; you simply

Finding the ideal time and firing solution for how to shoot a moving target depends on the aptitude sets and experiences of a Trap Shooter. Customarily, these abilities and experiences have been viewed as instinctive activities that must be learned through years of hard practice, shooting a huge number of rounds. Currently, there is no existing set of instructions that can help shooters understand the game of Trapshooting from an analytical and mechanical approach. We aim to create a Decision Support System (DSS) that will break down and explain these intuitive subtleties of shooting by analyzing physical and mechanical processes of the game. The DSS will analyze the characteristics of the nature of shot spread, the path of the shot spread,
