When i was a kid " about 12 years old" i discevered music, not really good music but still music, it was back in 2008 ,crazy, it was 9 years ago so you could say i have about 9 years of listening intensely to music, i first started listening what i thought was "cool" at the time , wich in todays world is litteraly and i mean extremely bad. It was called hiphop back in the day and what it was, basically you take a mixing board and smash it with a hammer , get someone to sing the same thing, and there easy as that you have a full song.

Incredible how public opinion takes a big toll on what you listen, do, or watch. My opinion on Hiphop changed incredibly, i started hanging out with friends at the time so eventually we started talking about bad music, this was around 2010, so at this time the catchy songs where all the typical song you hear even today about some girl getting wasted, " yeah crazy innovative" but this type of music started to catch on and its still popular to this day.

What troubled me the most was that it had the same beats and rythm as before but new singers, so people loved the same songs with new artist, wich kinda baffled me to be honest, as i stated before the publics opinion is very easily manipulated by commercials, shoutouts, social media, and just

    Unquestionably we live in an advance-centralized world, the network has been in our lives from any aspect anyone can think of. It became a pivotal vehicle for our lives. From the help of the Internet hip-hop progressed into one of the utmost influential forces. The reason for this is that, contrasting any other ranges of music; hip-hop is entrenched in a larger power. The hip-hop genre is conceivably one of the most persistent and prevailing cultural forms as of now, it’s evidently different from other forms of culture because it arose inside and established in a discrete subgroup.…

    This is what makes the music so powerful and also at the same time taboo. Common themes include gangs, police brutality, poverty, bragging, misogyny, promiscuity, vulgarity (this one is almost a given for any mainstream rapper), representing your city and hustling. This was especially evident in the 80s with rappers like Ice-T and notorious rap group N.W.A. (Niggaz Wit Attitudes). Rapping as a form began to become more complex as we move towards the 90s. Rakim really pushed the art forward after he began to using compound rhyming and a very laidback delivery, a style of his very…

    Outkast is a duo formed in the early 90s by Andre 3000 and his high school rival and career friend Big Boy.

    “The poverty line, we not above /So out come the mask and glove cause we ain’t feelin’ the love/ We ain’t doing crime for the sake of doing crime/ We movin’ dimes cause we ain’t doin’ fine” - Jay Z, Say Hello. These four lines are the embodiment of the relationship between hip hop and what happens in the less glamorous parts of the nation’s star city, New York. For decades New York has been the hip hop headquarters, to a point where the goal was and is still to be named “King of New York.” Hip hop was born in New York in the late 1970’s due to the many problems facing the black community, such as the mass impoverishment of the New York slums and the school-to-prison pipeline, which pushed kids out of school, into gangs, and then into prisons.…

    Hip hop artist and basketball players are both performers, who have a rich connection and similar persona, showcasing style, swagger, urbanism, bravado, and coolness. This rich bond was established in 1979; from 1984 to 2009, a new era was conceived, known as “The Dunkadelic Era.” In 1979, the first mainstream explicit connection between hip-hop and basketball was established.

    Americans today tend to believe that Hip Hop has made a dramatic influence on society today. From many articles that I’ve read such as Brent Staples ¨How Hip Hop Music Lost Its Way and Betrayed Its Fans¨ he stated that ¨The most poisonous one defines middle-class normalcy and achievement as "white," while embracing violence, illiteracy and drug dealing as "authentically" black. This fiction rears its head from time to time in films and literature. But it finds its most virulent expression in rap music, which started out with a broad palette of themes but has increasingly evolved into a medium for worshipping misogyny, materialism and murder”. Some people disagree such as Ross Simmons article ”Six reasons why you should allow your Children to listen…

    Hip hop is a cultural movement that began its journey during the early 1970s, among African American young children’s residing in the South Bronx in New York City. Afterwards, became popular outside of the African American community in the late 1980s and by the 2010s it became the most listened-to musical genre in the entire world. Furthermore, it consists of four fundamental elements, which represent the different manifestations of the culture: rap, turntablism, b-boying, and lastly graffiti art. The term hip hop is often used in a restrictive fashion as synonymous only with the oral practice of the rap music genre. The origin of the hip hop culture stems from the block parties of the Ghetto Brothers.…

    Music has been my salvation; reggae music is my mainstay because the lyrics are like a sermon. Reggae is about life and the world around you. Listen to any Bob Marley record and you will hear what I speak of. In high school I listened to heavy metal which as a black teen is very rare but I was in the environment and so adapted. What is interesting is that, what I heard in heavy metal was nothing more that the blues that had been amplified and I called it amplified blues.…

    Hip Hop Impact On Politics

    Hip-hop culture has the ability to effect the way people think about politics and how presidential candidates execute their campaigns. This power has been realized recently, especially by President Obama, but we have yet to truly see it reach its full potential. Hip-hop has been around since about the early 1970s, but never had it realized its potential to effect politics until the 2008 presidential election. The starting point of this realization was during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. This was during a time that many young, especially African-American, people were already tired of President Bush in office and it showed in many hip-hop songs in those years.…

    Introduction: Have you ever had a song stuck in your head that you just can 't get out? Have you ever hummed a catchy tune unintentionally? And as for your favorite songs, do you ever wonder what the entire process was from start to finish? Its questions like these that make you wonder just what makes music so compelling, and how does it affect us psychologically. Music is an ever expanding world with endless possibilities and what I strive to find is the neuroscience of how music affects the perception and emotion of the listeners, some of the many things it can do to the body, and with everything I hope to learn how to grow as an artist.…
