Joey Bada$$ 25th November 2014 I went to see Joey Bada$$, supported by fellow Pro Era artist Kirk Knight at Shepherd's Bush on the 25th of November 2014. Jo-Vaughn Scott, who goes by Joey Bada$$, was born in the East Flatbush section of Flatbush, New York on January 20, 1995. He chose to rap under the name Joey Bada$$ as he noticed the media focused on rappers with more cynical names, and that it was "what sounded cool at the time, what fit [his] mood" (Isenberg, 2012). He formed the hip-hop collective Progressive Era more commonly known as Pro Era with high school classmates Capital Steez, CJ Fly and Powers Pleasant. They have now expanded with more than 20 members including graphic designers, producers, singers and rappers.

One year later, when Jim Fouratt, Susan Hartnett, Claudio Badal and I started organizing the first New York Be In, I was vaguely aware that this “hippie” creature the newspapers and TV were starting to talk about was me. I had scraggly, unwashed long hair, and I’d recently started smoking marijuana, and I believed rock and roll would change the world. And now...this guy Fouratt had called me up when he read about me and Crawdaddy! in the Village Voice’s Scenes column and had invited me to a meeting at which Richard Alpert would describe the recent (1/1/ 67) San Francisco “Be-In,” and representatives of the NYC Parks Dept and the rest of us (representatives of “the community”) would discuss the possibility of doing something similar here. Gosh, ME a member of the “hip” community??
The summer of 1967 was called the “summer of love” and inspired the hippie movement that unified many of these like-minded revolutionaries under the encouragement of music. The Beatle’s album Sgt. Pepper’s was released in the beginning of June by the Apple corporation and became number one on the U.K. charts, selling millions. This album had a huge influence on this movement, blowing all expectations out of the water. Their new sound truly changed the way people perceived music and the world around them.
Rolling Stones continues, “He was a musical genius who (briefly) brought punk rock into the mainstream. Cobain dealt with the thorny discomfort of growing up and railed about his inner demons. Like Bob Dylan, he hated the notion of being dubbed ‘the voice of a generation’ – in Cobain's case, Generation X – but got it anyway.” Cobain never wanted the band to become mainstream, it was against everything the band was about and could be one of the many factors causing his drug abuse and

Biggie feud which I briefly spoke of earlier. Though there really was a problem between the two rappers, it was blown way out of proportion by producer Suge Knight who also had a feud but with Biggie's producer Puff Daddy. He encouraged 2pac to continuely attack Biggie in his songs. 2pac seemed to be unaware of the fact that he was actually being used by Suge to promote something even better, a westcoast vs. eastcoast war. This led to millions of albums beings sold because people began to feed into the hype and joined in on the war.
They believe this was a right that they were given by our Four Fathers, which is clearly not true. Yes, they have the freedom of speech but when should the freedom be taken away? What about the rights of the innocent victims and their families? Hate crimes, because of their nature will always lead to violence and this is not a freedom that people should have. In my opinion, the penalties for hate crimes should continue to be more severe than that of a regular crime because so many innocent people are injured and even killed simply because they are different.
The hippie subculture is a youth movement that began in the United States during the early 1960s. This culture has been spread worldwide through a fusion of rock music, folk, blues, and psychedelic rock and it also found expression in literature, the dramatic arts, fashion, and the visual arts, including film, posters advertising rock concerts, and album covers. The word ‘hippie’ is from hipster, and was originally used to describe ‘Beatniks’ who had moved into San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury district. In early 60s, hippies found to free themselves from societal restrictions, choose their own way and find their own meaning in life, listened to psychedelic rock, embraced the sexual revolution, and used drugs such as cannabis, LSD and magic mushrooms to explored altered stated of consciousness. This hippie subculture influenced on contemporary mainstream fashion today and Nicole Richie is one of the contemporary hippie fashion designers who influenced.
