In personal settings Kanye West is a heartfelt person who puts all of his emotions into his music so his fans can identify with him. West has offended people in saying rude remarks about him and others including saying that he is “the greatest rappers of all time” and that “if it weren’t for him changing the game some of these rappers wouldn’t be rapping”. West has insulted other entertainers including when he embarrassed country artist Taylor Swift during an awards ceremony where she was being presented an award. Kanye West literally jumped on stage to announce to everyone that she didn’t deserve the award but another artist did. This incident proved to others that he didn’t care what he did to others because it was something he wanted to do at the time.
The other factor that takes away from this album is the two rock-rap songs, (She Watch Channel Zero!? & Party For Your Right to Fight). Maybe it’s a personal bias, because I never really like when rap and rock fuse, but I totally think they are in much better form when rapping over James Brown samples. Otherwise I can’t see any other flaws with this album. Chuck D performs like no other, and the Flavor Flav element is unique and essential to this album’s
Malcolm X was an articulate hustler in the streets. He was very popular when he was speaking but very frustrated with himself when it came to writing what he talked about. His biggest problem was his hillbilly language, Malcolm always used slang words, and knew if he would write the same way he spoke then no one would be able to read or understand what he was talking about. Malcolm was a very good speaker, people who heard him speak would be in shock when finding out he only had an eighth grade education, not knowing how much he had taught himself in prison. In the Charlestown Prison a man named Bimbi made Malcolm realize his knowledge.
However, there is one character who isn’t racist and that is Huckleberry Finn. He is racist at first and that is because he grew up in an environment which is completely racist. However, in time he does start to realize that Jim and himself are equal. If he were truly racist, he would have sold him out, which he had several opportunities to and denied giving up his friend. When Huck almost sells Jim out, it is a constant internal battle between Huck’s heart and society.
But instead of the negative, vulgar, hateful, and sexual messages being sent by secular rappers, Christian rappers are trying to send a message of hope, salvation, and peace that will improve our society as a whole, building up the youth. Secular rap as a whole has a negative impact on society, particularly on our youth, through its explicit content. It sends a powerful message of hate and violence that is devouring the minds of our youth playing a part various problems such as rape, racism, teen pregnancy, suicide, homicide, and even gang violence. Rappers know exactly what they are doing and simply do not care because they are making more money then they ever had by feeding our society
Question 20 on the 2011 pass paper, critical essay. The movie 8mile explores in great detail countless emotions from beginning to end. The movie is based around a young rapper called Jimmy B-Rabbit Smith, who is stuck a rut and is struggling to make a success of his life. He has been brought up with racial abuse and is surrounded my violence and drugs everyday of his life. He lives with his mum and her boyfriend in a trailer park due to his dead end job.
Dre were such great artists that white people were afraid to imitate them—they're no better than John Coltrane, Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, Muddy Waters, and dozens of others whom white artists have happily mimicked in the past. Rather it's that this kind of "theft" became a capital cultural crime, and not just in the academy (how many '90s indie rockers knew by heart the verses in "Fight the Power," where Public Enemy calls Elvis a "straight-up racist, simple and plain"?). If gangsta rap marked a break, it was because hip-hop became coded to reflect the retrenchment of the "Two Americas" and the resultant combative, near-separatist mood among African-Americans. It was deliberately made less assimilable, a development reinforced by the marketplace when white suburban kids turned out to love its more extremist
Little did people know the experiences that he endured were about to put him to the world of success. He put his experiences on paper and the rest was history. He was about to do something that others before him couldn’t really do and that was change the perception on rap.Tupac became one of the biggest stars with the rhymes he wrote and the movies he starred in that portrayed and even glorified the violence and abuse that is life in urban America. Tupac had a passion for rap. He spoke from his heart even if it didn’t really come out the right way; he still managed to put in to terms.
At the age of five years old my parents were drug addicts and always fighting and arguing so they never could agree to be together for me. My father left my mom for someone else. At the age of seven years old I was forced to move with my auntie because my mother was not able to care for me anymore. Her addiction had taken over. I would see her all the time but it was so hard because I was so young experiences it.
All of these characteristics have been giving to African American males throughout society and the media just advertises these portrayals defeating the black males character. This source is strong but at the same time contains some weak spots. The weak spots are present without being present. What I mean by this is that instead of just stating what society negatively characterizes the black male as, there should of have been more references to the positive traits that many black men sustain as well. This argument would be better recognized having two sides of the party to differentiate
