Hip Hop Music: A Positive Effect On Neoteric Life

Hip-hop is an influential form of music that displays an artist’s honest and revealing story that many of the general public can relate to. One of the many songs that I can relate to is “Love Yourz” written by J Cole. The song talks about how Cole reflects on the most important things in life such as love and happiness. He realizes that the money and fame didn’t bring him the happiness he desired. To gain true happiness, he needed to appreciate himself and those that love him.

Moonlight became a successful film due to changing the harsh stereotypes of masculinity. Even though masculinity a mask to cover up their identity, it gave awareness to Black audiences who struggle with hiding their sexuality. Black masculinity became men being presented as aggressive and emotionless. However, this film could show that sexuality doesn’t

Kanye West is someone that has influenced pop culture in a major way. Kanye West presents the ethical position of the social ethical egoism. First, we have to know what moral egoism actually means and that is that "the normative ethical theory that says actions are morally right just because they maximize self-interest" (Garcia, 13). Since Kanye is seen as a big influencer to the public eye he has made himself become a moral exemplar in people's eyes or someone who is seen as a person to follow because of his character. For example, lots of people love what Kanye does whether it's his music, fashion, or public opinion he often influences the minds of other to think the way he does.

This was a part of everyday life for a young black man prior to this event, but this event allowed the whole country to finally see that what was being rapped about was true. Many rappers of this era also talked about the government’s unwillingness to provide support to the lower income areas where minorities live. Not only would they state the problem, they would speak on what needs to happen for the advancement of these neighborhoods. However these high points of rap music weren’t exclusive to the 90’s, in fact some artist of the early 2000’s like Kanye West, Common, and Mos Def did this quite well, and even today this trend

As time passes, people often think of their pasts and what they have done in their life, both positively and negatively. The lyrics of the song resonate with everyone, even the famous singer Macklemore who produced the song “Good Old Days.” In the song, he reflects on his past and the times he missed or regretted. Macklemore also writes “We’ve come so far, I guess I’m proud” which also shows that he’s happy with the choices he made and that they have gotten him to where he is now—a famous musician and writer. The music in the song has an upbeat and appealing tone to it with excellent lyrics, which made it a top 40 song in the U.S. The song, “Good Old Days,” by Macklemore featuring Kesha gives listeners a unique, deep emotional connection with one’s past and future in a simplistic, but pathos way.

Everyone had a personal goal for themselves during the civil rights movement. And people connect with that, in his song he mentions that we must live for ourselves “ you've got to live for yourself, yourself and nobody else.” ( I'll go crazy) James Brown music not only represented the struggles of the Black community but also it’s soul power and adds a romantic side to his performance. His songs “ Try Me” and “ I don’t mind”are a perfect example “ I don’t mind, your body and soul, I don’t mind your love.” ( James Brown) He was the type of man that people wanted to hear to fall in love.

Originally, the meaning of the word rap was to strike or hit, which is rather ironic looking at how violence is expressed through rap today. The definition changed over time, and a few centuries later, it became a word meaning to talk or have a conversation. Around the 1960’s people from black communities began using it as a slang word in the same context, and during the 1970’s the word became a term representing a new musical style where words were performed rhythmically, often to an instrumental backing. The beginning of this new culture that we now know today as Hip-Hip was founded in the Bronx, New York. Today, rap music is undeniably one of the most popular music genres, dominating all music charts.

Hip Hop is a culture not just music. As a whole society hip hop has had an overwhelming influence on the black community in America. For generations Hip Hop has ben providing to many different types of groups and people that is trying to deliver a message to other people.

Both groups are excellent with samplings. At the time in which sampling became the mainstream, people worried that whether this will lead hip-hop music to innovation or regression.

Not everyone thinks this is a problem, but more of a solution to help promote their thoughts and opinions about major issues occurring in the world.

Not only did a great message of a song allow hip hop to spread, but who was rapping the lyrics had a major effect on the hip hop

I don’t believe Perry hates black women. I think he enjoys creating projects such as “Diary of A Mad Black Women” because those type of actions is taking place in today’s generation. He is certain that others would enjoy watching it, that is exactly why he continues to produce such outstanding movies. Even though his creations are very similar to each other, each movie has it’s own unique purpose.Although, the
