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
Knowing the definitions of pitch, timbre, meter and loudness, to name a few, do not help me enjoy music more than what I already do. Even though Levitin defined music as sound reverberations striking the hearing mechanisms of the ear, he goes too into detail when he further describes music. Levitin also stated that the expert language is too complicated and creates a separation between musicians and other people, which is not justified by the writer in my opinion. If the expert language is too enigmatic, then why go into descriptive definitions? I believe that the writer should have started the book by not defining the countless list of musical terms, but rather, he should have answered his question to the title of the first chapter: What is Music?
Even television tried to clean up the image of Rock-n-Roll with shows like American Bandstand, hosted be Dick Clark. He promoted good, clean fun for teens by having artist perform songs that parents would approve of. He also made strict guidelines for dress codes for the teens on his show as wells as how they danced. There were even artist, such as Pat Boone, who took pride in setting a good example for teenagers. He even wrote a book to encourage teens to do the right things by their parents, and also practice abstinence until marriage.
In the city people did not used to listen to Merengue Tipico or any music that was listened in the country side. It was a big change for me But I realized that I could listen to other types of music as long as they have rhythm, a music that I could dance because When I heard a foreign music like Madonna or Michael Jackson, even when I had no idea what they were saying, I dance it and listen to it because I liked how it sounded. I remember a song of Madonna, La Isla Bonita, and Ray of Light. I remember when I sing La Isla Bonita and I only repeated the a few words that are in Spanish in the song, but at least I knew exactly when to say it. Now the Ray Of Light made me sweat a lot because even when I have no idea what she was saying, I really love the
A tradition that many Mexican families pass on is to be awakened on the day of their birthday by the sound of Las Mañanitas, a traditional birthday song played by a mariachi band. Mariachi is also a form of communication through its serenata. In a society where young men and women were kept apart the young men would use the serenata to send a message of love to their beloved ones. This allowed the youth to continue messaging their loved ones in a way that expressed their love through the art of music. Additionally serenata can also be used as a way to seek forgiveness.
I listen to music to enjoy the way it sounds. I listen to escape the daily annoyances and stresses of life and I also listen to music in an analytical way when I DJ. All three examples here target the sensuous plane, the expressive plane, and the sheerly musical plane. Now, some may say that listening does not fall into these planes at all, or that there are more planes to listening than the ones listed above. The argument is not about whether or not there
Dennis Rawls 1-22-14 English Can Hip HOP transcend low class placement? Hip Hop can transcend its low class placement if the music starts to make more sense, if it’s more uplifting and if it has a certain balance. Hip Hop is not making sense anymore Artist are putting out anything that makes money. I Think Hip Hop can transcend if artist start putting more time in their music. Hip Hop Artist in our generation not even Rhyming anymore they are just saying words.
One would say that Lennie didn’t have to kill her, but then again, Lennie did not understand the situation or what was happening. One would also say that he did not have to take things that far but all he wanted to do was make her stop yelling at him. “Now don’t, I don’t want you to yell. You gonna get me in trouble,” is what he told her because all he wanted was for her to stay quiet (Steinbeck 91). He didn’t mean to kill her, but since Lennie does not understand certain things, he also does not know his own strength.
He was ignoring his problem with the burial of Polyneices. As he was ignoring it, the problem grew. The audience can learn from this play it to be free of ignorance, arrogance, and pride. Ignorance is bliss, but it doesn’t last long enough. If people are aware from the start, there wouldn’t be a need to feel blissful.
This is a lose lose situation, by the way, because not only are we forced to listen to some diabolical 'beat' for the entire journey, the person who the noise is intended for can’t actually hear it because all the sound is going outwards and so they TURN IT UP! In terms of music, i consider myself to be quite open, but i simply cannot accept something that sounds like a rather overly excited chimp that has found two dustbin lids. This doesn't go for all brands obviously, but it only takes one to rise above the
