In my opinion, music has changed a lot in the recent years. Music before had more meaningful lyrics and original music. Today, most of the music genres has gone in the wrong direction, of course there still some musicians who are devoted and still producing an outstanding work. For example, many singer of Rap and Hip Hop music are including meaningless words and contents such as cars, wealth, sex, and other related things to their music and forgetting the important issues in life like hunger and…

When you think of a leader, chances are you do not think about a rapper. Nevertheless, one that can be expected to be sporting overalls on stage one day, and is meeting with the President on another.

He was the first artist to perform on Saturday Night Live without a studio record deal and even participated in a recent Kit-Kat advertising campaign. I am describing one of the most influential and inspiring…

"You 're either an idiot or you 're purposely choosing to use the law to punish people because you 've already assumed that the person is guilty" (Killer Mike). People today are becoming prejudice against the genre, rap. They don 't understand it. The earliest type of music classified as rap began many years ago in Africa, with the griots, storytellers who tell tales of their experiences or those of the village.

Daddy Yankee’s biggest hit, ‘Gasolina’, was turning point into his career and turning point for the reggaeton as well (photo 4). The lyrics, although explicit, were smoother than what reggaeton was known for.

For the audience, lyrics can mean many things, from the need for speed…

Kanye West is a creative genius, and has a work ethic unparalleled in the genre he makes music for. He has won 21 grammys and that should somewhat display the work ethic and talent that he has. His lyrics are not the reason he has reached the top level of Hip-Hop. He started off as a producer for Def Jam entertainment, and production would…
