Do you listen to rap or hip-hop? If so, do you think that rap or hip-hop have any negative effect on teen behavior or language? Rap and hip-hop lyrics do have a negative effect. Hip-hop and rap weren’t always negative. It had some positivity (Ruiz). It was a way to 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…

portray the women as objects, but the lyrics refer to these women as “hoes” that are for “everybody”. Also, when the artist implies that a man is about to propose he says “Fuck man, is you cray?” Along with the artist calling these women hoes, Wiz Khalifa says “sharin’ is carin’ that pussy ain’t gold.” This line goes to show that this entire video and song represent women as something men can possess. I do not think that this video is a…

Music is definitely an industry that strongly supports and praises the act. For instance, the rapper Wiz Khalifa, has many songs where he is praising and appreciating the activity. An example is, his song “Young, Wild and Free” where the lyrics go a little like this: “So what we go out, so what we smoke weed? So what we get drunk? That’s how it’s suppose to be, living young, wild and free.” Now Khalifa is not the only person in the music industry that enjoys 4/20, Willie Nelson shared a personal…

Early in the book the schooling of Einstein is addressed and he is fascinated by and enjoys schooling. Then when he entered into the secondary schooling program he found the work too strict and tightly controlled. The song “School’s Out” by Alice Cooper fits this time of disliking school because it talks about not enjoying school and not saluting teachers, similar to the way Einstein disliked the fear and authoritative way teachers taught. Later Einstein borrowed notes from other college…

Often times there is a revolutionary idea that ushers in a new wave of thinking and trends that impact many generations to come. Run DMC had one of these revolutionary ideas during the conception, production and later marketing based on his song My Adidas. The piece discusses the many ways Run DMC sports his sneakers. In his song, Run DMC personifies the shoes to a best friend status. Through lyrics like “Now/Me and my Adidas do the illest things/We like to stomp out pimps with diamond rings,”…

The American Dream for many people was to bring out freedom and equality for everyone. In the 1950s and earlier it was hard for African Americans to do what they wanted. If they tried they’d be executed or ignored by many. Back then, all around the world was quite racist. In the 1950s and earlier African Americans were slaves and were used as basically a back bone for a lot of white people. Life in the 1900s and earlier for the African Americans was not what…

Wolfgang Mozart mixed with Ne-Yo. Bach blended with the soulful sounds of Adele and soothing cords and progressions of a violin. These are only a few of the characterizations I would use to describe violinist and performer Josh Vietti. Josh brings a distinctive approach to music combining tones of classical with a wide variety of styles from pop to gospel, hip hop jazz and country. He is a musician typically defined as a hip-hop violinist, but Josh Vietti is enormously more than that. He is an…

I started listening to hip-hop when I was transitioning into the 6th grade. It is a form of music, defined as stylized rhythmic music commonly accompanied by rap (merriam-webster). Hip hop involves rhyming of words and phrases into a verse. Verses are usually followed by a hook or chorus, like in most music genres. It is one of the top genres of music listened to among the youths of the U.S. I may listen to hip-hop, but I’m fairly new to rappers that have introduced themselves into the rap game…

Some say music is the key to the soul, and the way music is turning in recent years many believe it is making a turn for the worse. Ten years ago with songs like, “We belong together” by Mariah Carey and “Let me love you” by Mario showed more thought and substance when it came to the concept of love and intimacy. The songs created in past years showed more conservation and used clever metaphors to insinuate sexual relations, rather than blatantly stating it. In more recent years, with songs like…
