Eminem himself is quoted as saying, “I’m not gay bashing. People just don’t understand where I come from. “Faggot” to me…

When one thinks of Detroit or Michigan in general, they automatically think of the musicians and sports teams that came from there; Madonna, Eminem, Kid Rock, The Tigers, The Lions, and The Red Wings.

3 Doors Down, Mumford and Sons, Eminem, Foo Fighters, and Blues are the bands and styles of music that are always on shuffle in my playlist. I enjoy a variety of music genres but not all. The goal of this music ethnography was to get me out of my comfort zone. So when I heard about a “Screamo” concert, I knew it was the one for me. I enjoy Classic Rock, and some Heavy Metal, but not this genre. Straight Outta Hell tour was coming to Greensboro, so that is where I went. Stright Outta Hell tour…

I had come home to that same setting so many times before. What started with a fun night out with my friends had abruptly turned into a depressing one. The living room was vacant with nobody to be heard from. I had come to know this tension so well, but never got used to it.

Obviously I wasn’t born yet so all this research is from family members, the internet or conversations with people in local music shops.

There's a certain purity that is associated with children, after all they are always happy and laughing. Like they do not have a care in the world. Ever since children are born they have been labeled and promoted to act, talk, and think a certain way. Slowly as a society we began to taint them with overly exposing them to drugs, alcohol, violence, sex, racism, and misogynistic expectations…

The words stated by Martin Luther King Jr. in the ‘I Have a Dream Speech” broadcast to America, changed the way people of America viewed African American’s. All of this was done by one speech, presented by one man with a dream. Writing can also be used as a strong statement, or a purpose.

Pimp a Butterfly Lamar has become huge and has been nominated at the Grammys the same amount of times as the great Michael Jackson. Once I heard Lamar’s new song “Humble” in my opinion I decided to make him my favorite rapper next to The Game and Eminem. Listening to “Humble” felt like and sounded if Kendrick was making a comeback. In Rolling Stones, Christopher R.
