Pennies, what are they worth? To answer that question one must first go back to the dawn of the penny. For centuries, the penny has captivated many with it’s historical significance and representation of America’s accomplishments as a nation; however, one thing that has changed over time is its commercial value. The penny was created with one intended purpose, facilitating the exchange of goods and services, but because of inflation the value of the penny has decreased making it hard for…

Now! Yelled Barry. Next thing I knew I was running at top speed and Matt was on my tail. 10 meters, 5 meters in less than a second I passed the finish line with matt two steps behind. “Yess I won!!

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.

Rap music has to be the most influential thing ever to be made. Rap is classified to me as rhythm and poetry, therefore, I believe that anyone who can write a poem and have rhythm to go with it, it’s rap.

So this is why I’m writing this essay, to show you how to (or explain how I learned to) read into rap…

Some of the artists in this lane go by the names of Lil Yachty, Lil Uzi Vert, and Young Thug. I do not agree that Lil Yachty and Lil Uzi Vert are mumble rappers because I can understand them, but the rest of the world…

Hip hop helps people express how they feel. People listen to hip hop to have a good time when they are partying.Hip hop also encourages people to be themselves and to step out of their comfort zone.

If a person is in a bad mood, they just listen to some hip hop and might be in a better mood. Even though many people say that hip hop degrades people and culture, it…

showmanship with their music. In the 70’s a musical group by the name of Parliament took the music world by storm with their out of this world appearance and their own rendition of Funk music. Parliament was one of the key pieces in the development of funk music and modern music as well. They created what we know as P-Funk today that was a key element of the foundation of Hip-Hop. For my concert report I analyzed Parliament’s 1976 The MotherShip Connection tour show from their performance in…
