This study develops “more comprehensive” research of an individual music listener than previous empirical research. Blecher finds that one’s tendency to discuss music with others is determined by multiple factors.

This article explores how hip-hop music makes rhetorical appeals in accordance with Aristotle’s three proofs--ethos, logos, and pathos. Ethos--the appeal of credibility and character--typically occurs in hip-hop songs when the artist describes their life story. Pathos is clearly demonstrated by any passionate hip-hop music; this type of appeal is especially complemented by music videos, which help to instill emotion in its audience. Finally, logos--or the appeal to reason--can be heard when the artist makes any logical
