Nowadays, many consider racism and prejudice a thing of the past, and people whine about discrimination to compensate for their personal flaws. Simply because it is less overt, racism has not yet vanished from our society. Like a viper, it hides in the darkest corners of society. However, it is not like the venomous coral snake, boldly announcing its presence, similar to racism before the civil rights act. Now it is like a water moccasin snake, camouflaging itself along muddy riverbanks and…

PART FOUR: Creative Process 381_CP_SONG 1: Can’t Stop I started with the guitar and formed a riff based in the key of Em. I transposed this riff onto a sparkly synth sound and could hear a strong bass line that would accompany it. I had three successful ways of approaching the creation of Can’t Stop. Firstly, completing a section and moving to the next before adding production elements. Secondly, having short breaks and returning to listen with fresh ears to recognize sounds that were not…

good bands and musicians such as Aerosmith, Aero Speed Wagon, Billy Joel and a bunch of others that were great that we could name. The music types most people listened to in the 70’s and 80’s were punk rock, rock and roll, country, hard rock and some disco in the 70’s but it did not last very long. Other subgenres of rock exspecially glam rock, hard rock, progressive, art rock and heavy metal gained a lot of success in the 1970’s era. country…

reached number 8 on the Billboard hot 100 in the U.S. It also reached number 8 on the dance chart. I think that the lyrics, by Joe Strummer, were inspired by a news report of Iranians being flogged for the crime of owning a disco album and create an amusing fantasy where a disco-hating sharif is defied by everyone from the citizens to his own air force as he tries to stamp out "that crazy Casbah sound." “Rock the Casbah” is a song that is tough enough for rock fans but rhythmic enough for dance…

I prefer the risk of failure to mediocrity. The Zulu Tribe had such an important impact on Hip-Hop. They didn´t care what others thought, they just wanted to take something that was negative and turn it into something positive. Now that we're in the twenty first century artist aren´t taking as many risk. They are more worried about failure, and their image being destroyed than the music itself. The variety in Hip hop has decreased drastically throughout the years. In 1978 a group of misfits…

Michael Jackson's career took an even bigger turn when he started working with music producer Quincy Jones. Jones and Jackson met on the set of The Wiz, movie in which Michael started working on because his brothers and himself weren’t as popular as they used to be when they first signed up to Motown (Herbert, 2009). Michael wanted to be in the scene for a long time had no idea how to do it, so he contacted his new friend Quincy Jones for some advice. The Off the Wall Era (1978-1981) began with…

could best be described as electronic swing, since it is not quite EDM, electronic dance music, and isn't exactly jazz. It's the perfect mix, which presents you with a type of music that resembles art more than a simple melody. Often mistaken for nu-disco, electronic swing creates a modern and dance-floor focused sound that is more readily accessible to the modern ear but that also retains the feeling of live brass and the energetic excitement of the early swing recordings. The best-known…
