African American rappers

express your emotions (Haugh). It consisted of lyrics that rhymed (Haugh). The 1970s, hip-hop was a cultural society (Haugh). The 1980s and 1990s, rap was developed and getting popular very fast (Haugh). It consisted a group full of Latinos and African-Americans. The reason why I and many others think rap and hip-hop have such a negative effect on teen behavior and language is because of the things they promote. For example their lyrics are full of slang words, uses negative things…

was being infiltrated by the very women the music affected the most. From MC Lyte, the first solo female rapper to release a full album in 1988, to today's female emcee megastars like Nicki Minaj, women in hip hop have been celebrated for breaking barriers and using the very genre that oppressed them to reclaim their sexuality. At the very beginning, a lot of female emcees did just that; rappers like MC Lyte and Queen Latifah united women and brought up important social issues facing black women…

Hip hop is a genre of music born over 50 years ago in the South Bronx in New York City by young African Americans. It is a sensation today and widely consumed and enjoyed by many across different age groups and a myriad of racial and cultural backgrounds. Despite its widespread popularity, it is often associated with negativity, criminality, drug use, violence, guns and most of all, it is considered as a genre of music that debases women and blacks in general. Others argue that hip hop is a tool…

There are a lot of cases of the way this talk flows inside pop culture, yet likely the most evident are the contention encompassing white rapper Eminem, and rehashed discourses about whether he constituted another Elvis Presley, appropriating and benefitting off stolen dark culture. While I will cover the racial legislative issues of this move in the explanation in more detail in Chapter second…

these ideas. Music genres like rap or hip-hop stereotype women and colored people, but when it is used by a television personality, people become outraged. One incident in particular, a famous cook, Paula Deen, used degrading terms to describe an African-American, but those and similar terms are used in popular music today (Dowd). All minorities alike will become outraged when derogatory terms are used by those on television, but overlooked when they are plastered in music. It is extremely odd…

The history of rap music would not be complete without a look at the performers who make it all possible - the rap artists. Most rap music typically includes one or more rappers who often rap about their own personal life stories, important events in their lives, or social problems they wish to make a public statement about. Rap songs can also represent romanticized or fictional themes. The sky is the limit. Musically, rap songs usually have a strong rhythmic aspect with the spoken lyrics…

The American Dream has never been defined as a relevant term. Some interesting people who have come close to fulfilling it are Eminem, Jackie Robinson, and Ice Cube. These are men who have overcome their horrid situations in life to go from “rags to riches”. Some people believe the dream is dead, but if someone asked one of these people they would disagree. Marshal Mathers, aka Eminem, came from a trailer park in Saint Joseph, Missouri (Eminem Biography). He…

To the ear when you heard this Motown music, you would think of a white big band playing instead of when you want to see these bands in concert you would not expect to see if you have can Americans and a…

It wasn't until I watched the videos about the words “nigger” and “nigga” that I achieve a true discerning of its derogatory meaning. “Nigger” is one of the most common and controversial words in English. It's a hateful slur for African-Americans, but many of them use the word in a harmless way. The word “nigger” is used in different cultures or groups. At the same time when we use the word in a negative or in a friendly way, there are some results that exist. This word has its origin from…
