Nelly

Nelly Concert      On Monday March 25, some members of the baseball team, my girlfriend, and I traveled to Murray State University to watch a concert performed by Nelly and the St. Lunatics. It was a terrible night to go anywhere because it was raining and storming the whole way, but there was nothing that was going to stop us from going to the concert. We where all so hyped up about it and couldn’t wait to head out. My brother, who attends Murray State, had gotten us excellent

How would you feel as a black women, ..you were looked at as nothing more than a prop? That you were only there to entertain and for pleasure.. Our consciousness about who black women are, is being limited to the dehumanization that the hip-hop culture centers in on women. Twerking, busting it wide, and dropping it like it’s hot is not at all what black women are equaled out to do. These misogynistic misrepresentation of black women is commonly seen in media culture music videos that provide the

Hip Hop Culture As I was growing up in the late 1970’s, it has always been common knowledge that hip hop music and its culture originated in the South Bronx section of New York City in the early 1970’s. Since this time, hip hop has become a multi-cultural fusion of many different contributions made by several ethnic groups like Caucasians, Asians, blacks, and Hispanics, to name just a few. Hip-hop has definitely exploded within many cultures and subcultures throughout the world and within the past

Misogyny and degradation of women is present in almost every genre of music, yet the one genre that completely revolves around demeaning women is rap. Over the years rap and rap music videos have continually become more sexual and degrading towards women. Rap has been criticized numerous times for this reason, and that is because rap is one of the most popular genres of music for the younger generations. It is more than a genre of music, it is a complete industry filled with clothing and other merchandise

Rap music has been around for many years and still has a powerful influence on today 's society. While rap music provides a voice to the voiceless not all rap music is positive. Rappers emphasize their reality, which was “replete with property, police brutality, drug abuse, educational inequality, high drop-out rates and violence….

Nelly and Edgar's beliefs about Catherine are obviously very different throughout the story. Nelly grew up with Catherine, therefore she has known her for a pretty long time.

Nelly is confronted by Hareton. As a result of the confrontation, Nelly felt out of place compared to other characters involved with the family.

It shows readers that Nelly is independent. 2. “Did she say she was grieved? ' he inquired, looking very serious. 'She cried when I told her you were off again this morning. '

Hip-Hop Music: The Commodification of African-American Women Since its emergence in the 1980s, hip-hop has taken the world by storm; it has impacted and revolutionized the way people behave, dress, and think. Hip-hop music enables people to connect in a way they would never be able to with any other genre of music. Although, hip-hop has swayed different generations over the years, its influence has not always been positive. In the past, hip-hop focused more on current events in society, personal

Nelly and Edgar nurse Catherine for two months. They believe she had a brain fever. In those two months, all of Edgar's attention was on Catherine, “Day and night he was watching, and patiently enduring all the annoyances… hour after hour he would sit beside her, tracing the gradual return of bodily health, and flattering his too sanguine hopes with the illusion that her mind would settle back into its right balance also, and she would soon be entirely her former self,” (p.141). Edgar is doing this

out in the grass where the story starts. She went into labor getting ready to be a mommy. It was magical, of course not a thing was seen because, the sun was not up yet. But as the first golden rays came across the sky lying in the grass was a mini Nelly now both of us wanted her but now there was not a shot in the pasture to get her, not with that thing hanging around. As the sun walked its path through the sky the warm inviting heat of the day was returning. It was dark, cold and, wet, and the
