Equality And Social Discrimination In Maryland Rapper Logic's Everybody

"Confess" the next track is a way for Logic to say that he wants to be a greater person by rapping about being a sinner not a saint and asking someone to save him from the holds of his guilt. This song continues and begins to slow down for Logic to sing about wishing for a savior as he is a waste of life. "Confess" brings Killer Mike in to play the role of a man confused question the world why the worst people in the world are on top. Logic pushes into the album with "Killing Spree" a song that Logic uses to talk about what others want to influence his life and changes the subject to speak on the killings that have happened over the past few months. The song becomes a expression of how everyone is becoming so in depth with their phones and computers that the only thing that maters is the screen in front of them. "Take It Back" is the aftermath of "Killing Spree" as the chorus talks about the first black and white man which leads into the first verse where Logic raps from the perspective of experiences he has had with others saying that he isn't black because his skin is too

McLune also believes,“many hip-hop rappers are sexist and materialistic singers”(222), and not many rappers sing about equality and respect between the sexes. Even female rapper’s follow in the male rappers footsteps of disrespecting black women. Female rappers follow this path to keep from being “targeted, slandered, and ignored”(223). Female rappers who take a stance against the norm risk being called “bitch, a ho-or worse, a dyke.” McLune states that she wants the sexism to stop and until it does hip-hop will fail. According to McLune, Kevin Powell excuses sexism because of poverty. Experience has shown us that any man, rich or poor, can be sexist regarding women. By allowing the behavior to continue black women will always be the victim.

Advertisements are everywhere. From billboards, to magazines, to newspapers, flyers and TV commercials, chances are that you won’t go a day without observing some sort of ad. In most cases, companies use these ads as persuasive tools, deploying rhetorical appeals—logos, pathos, and ethos—to move their audiences to think or act in a certain way. The two magazine ads featured here, both endorsing Pedigree products, serve as excellent examples of how these modes of persuasion are strategically used.

Unlike many other mainstream artists, Kendrick Lamar attaches great importance to the lyrics of his songs. Lamar’s song “DNA”, released last April, became a real breakthrough in the world of hip-hop music. In this song, Lamar reflects on various social issues faced by the modern African-American community of the USA. The song’s lyrics, as well as the music video, portrays the most common stereotypes and biases labeled to the African-American community. The central aim of the song is to sarcastically demonstrate the image of African-Americans as they are viewed by biased media. By the use of symbolical sarcasm and double meanings, Lamar underlines the acuteness of the race inequality that remains existing in the modern America.

Rap music has become one of the most distinctive and controversial music genres of the past few decades. A major part of hip hop culture, rap, discusses the experiences and standards of living of people in different situations ranging from racial stereotyping to struggle for survival in poor, violent conditions.

In May of 1998, Kipland Kinkel brought a gun to his school. Over the course of two days this escalated from: being sent home, to murdering his father and mother, to murdering 2 students and wounding 26, earning a lifetime sentence of 111 years and 8 months in prison. In the court case being examined, the presiding judge addresses the original case, defendants ground for appeal, and the justification for the State’s decision to deny the appeal. Judge Haselton effectively uses ethos, logos, and pathos to support the Higher Court’s decision to deny the appeal because the original sentence was constitutional and just.

Many contradicting views surround rap music’s controversial subjects and use of language. While some consider it highly offensive, there is some validity to the rhetoric applied in political rap. In the 1990’s racial inequality is rampant with uprisings and segregated neighborhoods that condemn minorities and lower socioeconomic classes to inhumane living conditions. Specifically, Tupac Shakur’s posthumous song “I Wonder if Heaven Got a Ghetto” combines an emancipatory lyric with a hopeful and upbeat instrumental to assess the racial inequality in society and the possibility of a better future.

The fight for overall equality has been an everlasting ordeal during the modern era in the United States. There are a various number of views on how serious this issue is becoming and what we can do to fix it. Within the song “Take it Back” by Logic he actively explores some of these views regarding this issue at hand. It was created as a way to actively combat against the many inequalities which affect people in today’s modern society within the United States. The songs use of many analytical devices such as intensity, reiteration, pathos, ethos, and contrast all help better deliver his intended message to the audience. Throughout the song it was evident that the main focus was based on the inequalities associated with one’s race. The inequalities

Equality is the meaning behind Logic. He raps through his passion of everybody being equal one day. In Logic’s song he many words to express what he is trying to get across. One of the phrases he uses is “I feel like I’m out of my mind” when I first read that I knew immediately noticed it was a simile. When he says that I think he means that he is not acting like himself. Another one of the phrases he says in the song is “I feel like my life ain’t mine.” When that part came up in the song I noticed the word like was in it. It was a flashing light to know that it was in fact a simile. “I’m hurting deep down but can’t show it” was symbolism, the boy is hurting but doesn’t know how to tell someone. In his song 1(800) he mentions “It’s the very

He once said, “I just like to rhyme”. Well LOGIC, the world just loves to listen. Sir Robert Bryson hall ii, also known as Logic, possesses such a level of lyricism that it carves him into an entirely different league of rap. He puts his life on the track and is candid with every release, and for the past six years, so we’ve learned a lot from him. We walked through the struggles of growing up with parents battling cocaine and alcohol additions. We’ve reflected on the journey to quit smoking, being raised in the ghetto, and pondering our influence on society. That’s his talent. He’s not afraid to bring up the tough topics, such as his childhood and being the subject of racial discrimination. And it’s because of this sharp and fearless lyricism

Although this was his first album, he had already known that he was like no other artist. In the song “Soul Food,” he states “I swear this music in my genes like denim / Lyricism seeping, I’m like venom / Yes, I know the flow hotter than Lucifer / Even though Heaven sent him.” With each song that goes by, people will hear more and more bars go by that will leave them unable to sing along to the song, but still able to understand the words that he is saying. One of the most lyrically flowing rhyme schemes in the album comes from the song “Growing Pains III,” where without a stutter, he swiftly asserts “When will I lose my anonymity and become one with the enemy? / Tell me would I be the enemy, feel like nobody in front of me.” The song that possibly shows the most potential of his lyrics and flow, however, would have to be the song “Under Pressure.” In this nine-and-a-half-minute song, Logic tends to change his speed constantly, but does it in a way that does not alter the dynamics of the beats. A line from the second verse demonstrates that he knows the talent he obtains while stating rapidly, “Yeah my stress up, but I’m blessed up / F*** around and get messed up / When I murder the rhyme, I’m living divine / You know that I’m one of a kind.” In addition to the lyrics of the songs, listeners will also hear the production value behind them as
