Choppy execution and obvious breathing into the microphone give authenticity to the underground, homebrew style that Lil B has become famous (or infamous) for. Rhyming in every bar is not the standard for Lil B, which could be off putting for traditionalist Hip Hop fans. Complex themes being expressed with an arguably simple style create a cohesiveness that can be easily appreciated by a thorough listener. Freedom from forms of mental slavery like racism, stereotypes, and homophobia is the only recognizable theme occurring in all tracks excluding the overall positive message the album tries convey. To be "Based" according to Lil B himself is to be "Positive and Free" and his musical works have these themes dispersed throughout them.
This phenomenon could be seen everywhere, and America was not an exception. In context of the United States, the year 1950 was a revolutionary period. It was marked by major events such as the Cold War, rise of capitalism and consumerism, the civil rights movement, and anti-communism, which changed the fate of the country. This was a period of economic boom that followed World War II. Therefore, it was marked by tremendous economic growth, with the manufacturing and consumer goods industry gaining enormous impetus, which had already grown to a considerable extent during the industrial revolution - the period immediately preceding the one in question.
This increase was partly due to an influx of immigrants. 2 Immigration increased the U.S. population and it also created a new source of laborers. In addition to social changes, there were dramatic changes in the labor movement which happened between the years 1877 and the 1920s. With the end of the Civil War, industries began booming and the railroad industry especially increased: in fact, the railroad industry was the second largest industry in the United States and agriculture was the first largest. The year 1877 is famous for the Great Upheaval which is also known as the Great Railroad Strike of 1877.
Therefore rap came to be the main way of expressing social oppression in black communities. Rappers best represented lives that lacked love ,fewer opportunities, and disgust with law enforcement. Dyson argues his beliefs on rap and its representation “Representing history is within reach of those who seize the opportunity to speak for themselves, to represent their own interest at all cost. Therefore gangsta rap is always involved in controversial representation. Constant attacks on homosexuals and women show the battle between cultural differences in many of gangsta rappers.
People were enjoying life as these new changes gave the USA a major jump in its economy in this short period. One reason why it is accurate to call America in the 1920’s ‘The Roaring Twenties’ was because of the sudden upsurge in the film industry. 1,000 black and white silent movies were made in America. One of the most famous actors was Charlie Chaplin, who was an actor in the comedy films. Films really blossomed in the 1920s, expanding upon the foundations of film from earlier years.
Divorce is an important issue as it is very common in society and it affects many families, including most importantly, the children from a marriage .This commonly known increase in divorce, is leading to an increase in cohabitation. There have been many changes in society which has led to the increase in divorce rate since 1969, in this essay I am going to outline and evaluate the main causes of this. Divorce is a major cause of changing family patterns and greater family diversity. Many re-marriages involve to some extent a divorce. Since the 1960’s there has been a great increase in the number of divorces, in fact they were doubled between 1961 and 1969 and doubled again by 1972.
This enormous population has created severe prison overcrowding as well as an ever increasing financial burden on federal, state, and local governments. Furthermore, security, housing, and providing healthcare for such a large population has placed a substantial burden on correctional personnel and prison administrators as well (Bureau of Justice Assistance [BJA], 2001). The increasing demand for more prison space and prison facilities, while governments attempt to reduce correctional funding has sparked a crisis within the criminal justice system. As the corrections system began to take on public criticism in the early 1980’s, policy makers were looking for solutions and one such solution was to privatize state and local prisons. With promises to provide additional facilities, more secure facilities, more jobs and better jobs while reducing government spending, privatization looked as though it might be a viable solution.
There has been a phenomenal growth of sports-related injuries with people over 55. From 1987 - 2001, health club membership skyrocketed by 266% clearly depicting a vast change in lifestyle and cultural values for older Americans. This trend
Two prominent dimensions of the cold war. Throughout the cold war, the geopolitical and international dimensions occupied a large part of both super powers’ leadership time and both devoted massive amounts of resources to prevail in both areas. Yet, with the fall of the USSR in the early 90’s, the newly formed Russian Federation and United States of America still clash over this cold war era rivalry in many ways, which begs to question whether the cold war truly ended. During the early decades of the cold war there was a fierce debate going on in America. The Hawks argued the USSR was a messianic, hegemonic empire that was built on expansion.
This current population growth trend began with the initiation of the Immigration Act of 1965 from the massive immigration of both legal and illegal immigrants entering the United States over the past forty years. Accounting for nearly 4.5% of the world's population, America is the third largest, fastest growing, consisting of infinitely more diverse cultures than any other country throughout the world (Heisler & Shrestha, 2011). The constant human quest for economic opportunities in recent decades has increased the flow of economic refugees to the United States putting an enormous strain on America's public institutions and social services. Furthermore, the political turmoil in existence globally increases the flow of political refugees seeking asylum and sanctuary. Refugees from the Vietnam (Military Action) War, my family and I have first-hand experience of the discriminations and prejudices held by Americans toward foreigners when we first immigrated to the United States in 1975 following the fall of Saigon.
