"Obviously rap music is too violent. It serves as a musical accompaniment to the entire underclass culture of violence," says the author of "See No Evil", David Klinghoffer, in an article in the National Review. This extremely narrow minded philosophy has neglected to discover what rap music really is and what it means to its millions of buyers, who are mostly of upper-class status. Rap is not only music, it is also a black cultural expression that prioritizes black voices from urban America, and

Since its origin in the late 1970’s in the South of Bronx in New York City, hip-hop has emerged as a national predominant form of music in America. Also known as rap music, it is consistent with fast rhythmic vocals that gained popularity for speaking the raw truth of matters many people were scared to deal with. Artists originally used this creative platform in order to give a voice to the urban poverty in America. However, the main issue in urban areas changed. The matter became more about the

Beat making, specifically hip hop, was born out of poor communities. The urban ghetto is the home of hip hop. With little or no money to buy instruments, young people looked at other ways to make music. In the 70’s, the turntable became the new instrument for creating scratches, loops, breaks, and beats. DJs exploited its uses frequently. In 1979, the first digital sampler and drum machine was produced by Roger Linn, the Linn LM-1. The next year (1980), the Roland TR-808 drum machine would

Lennie and Candy’s dog's death are similar ,and different in many ways in the story. In the story the night when George, Lennie, Candy, Slim, Carlson, and the other guys were all in the bunk house when they conviced Candy to shoot the dog. As Candy walks in with the dog following behind him the men sit there with disgust. Carlson yells at the old swapper to get that dog out of here because of how bad it sticks. Candy apologizes and says “ sorry i guess i been around him so much i didn't realize how

     Imagine an inner city kid having grown u in an environment where real life street violence is a way of life. His body, having survived personal experiences of violence, endured barely life sustained conditions, and many sleepless nights caused by the constant yet unpredictable call of death. His mind doubtful over where his next meal will come from, lost in search of some higher guidance, struggling through a world, not of innocent childish fantasies, but trapped in

Jean Kilbourne, a media specialist, raises an interesting point in one of her lectures when she states, “The average American is exposed to 3000 advertisements per day. Yet, everyone in America still feels personally exempt from the media. They say, “I don’t pay attention to ads. I just tune them out. They have no effect on me.”” She later states most of the people who have said this to her were wearing Gap™ tee-shirts. Whether people realize it or not, there is a direct correlation between the media

Misogyny and Rap Music Rap music has earned a reputation for being hateful towards women or misogynistic. The aim of this essay is to scrutinise the expanse of misogyny within rap music and the environment from which it is born. This will be done in a even-handed manner in order to do the genre justice instead of vilifying it. The essay details how misogyny is a facet of dominant culture, not only rap, and how anyone can be responsible for misogyny (Adams & Fuller, 2006:943). A lot of rap lyrics

Hip Hop can be one of the best genres of music and one of the worst, so take a look at it and see what you think. My opinion on Hip Hop is neither bad or good it consists of a mixture between the two, not one or the other. A reason that hip hop is neither good or bad is the message the Rapper is trying to give you or the inspiration. Another reason is that depending on the interpretation of the listener it could be in a good sense or a bad one. My last reason for Hip Hop not being specifically good

J-rap music is too often mistaken as imitating the orthodox genre of rap, and it’s not. Although, influenced by old-school rap, J-rap is still unique. A lot of rap music produced today is commercial, and the artists are making their riches promoting negative images to the youth of today’s society. At one time, rap music served as a medium to empower youth in a positive way. However, today rap is giving far too much praise to criminal deportment and meantime, while American rappers continue to advocate
