{draw:frame} 1971-1996 By Latoya Jefferson The life of Tupac Shakur As you know Elvis was known for rock and roll. Tupac Shakur defined the hip hop music scene, as everybody knows it today.Tupac also known as 2pac or Makaveli. He was so special were his enormous talent shown his friendly looks, and the sense that he was a real person. He could walk the walk and talk the talk. Tupac to me was the best rapper alive.
That is why Lil Wayne isn’t a role model like he says he is. The greatest speaks for the people, that is how the Hip Hop culture works, regardless of what anyone says any genre or median the greatest always speaks for the people. Tupac would always show his love to the people and would include his fans to his music videos. Public Enemy a rap duo would express their feelings towards police brutality, violence, and drug abuse. Lil Wayne raps about the opposite that the Hip Hop pioneers would rap about in the 1990’s.
Lil Wayne is one of the most talented and famous rappers. Lil Wayne's childhood, his freestyle abilities in singing, his insane lyrics and offbeat songs, and the hip-hop rhythm are all reasons why he IS the best rapper in the world. You don't always have to go to school to become successful. Lil Wayne was in a gifted program at school and was in the drama club but dropped out when he was only 14. He grew up in the crime-filled city of New Orleans in the neighborhood of the 17th ward.
It is one of the best lyrical songs Lil Wayne has ever put together. Any album he puts together goes platinum solely on his use of metaphors. Lil Wayne is one of the few lyrical geniuses in the rap game that can move people with his verses. “Hustler Musik” and “Shooter” were also songs that I loved that reached the top of the charts. I loved his lyrics in every song throughout this album and so did the critics calling it best album of the year after it reached number one on the Billboards.
Hip-Hop artists are the role-models of most African-Americans. As they hear their favorite artists, they want to do the same things as them. Drugs are first in the songs for example; one of the most popular artists is 2 chainz. On one of his songs, the title is “crack”. It summarizes who he is and what he does, and African-Americans love it.
The record sold over 100,000 copies, establishing both the label and the rapper. This was the label's first long-playing release. Up to this day, L.L. is thought out to be one of Def Jam's most prized possessions. When he released his first hit, "I Can't Live Without My Radio," in 1985 when he was just 17 years old, LL came out to be a hard-hitting, streetwise b-boy with spare beats and ballistic rhymes (Internet Source).
The venerably gentle manners of the people were not obtained through just being born with it. Their parents and friends had to have taught them how to be polite. Through nurture the monster is going to hopefully learn the same manners as the cottagers because humans are not born with good manners. The next case of nurture is “ In this retreat I devoted the morning to labor; but in the evening, when the weather permitted, I walked on the stony beach of the sea to listen to the waves as they roared and dashed at my feet”, (Shelley 119). It is not in most people’s nature to just devote mornings to work, at that age its most people’s nature
After his signing he hit the hip-hop scene with a vengeance producing bomb ass single after single including “Tupac’s Back ft. Rick Ross”, “Ima Boss ft. Rick Ross” and just recently the catchy track “Bag of Money ft. Wale, Rick Ross and T-Pain”. These compilations catapulted young Meek Mills hip-hop credibility within the rap game. Hip-hop fans trust me, you will not be disappointed with his new work, the swag, the style and creativity shown within this masterpiece will have you repeating song after song. Well enough of me babbling let me take you on this journey track by track so you can run out a get your copy for your
This dude should have retired a while ago. Wayne thinks that he IS hip hop. Anybody who thinks they ARE hip hop, is obviously NOT hip hop. You can just tell by the way that he raps and carries himself that he thinks he is the shit when it comes to hip hop music. And maybe he
In 2007 Time Magazine called Rick Rubin one of the 100 most influential people in the world. This legendary record producer has shaped the sound of countless hit artists. Just to name a few: Run-D.M.C., The Beastie Boys, Linkin Park, Rage Against the Machine, Metallica, and Slayer. As one can tell, part of what makes Rubin great is his ability to work whichever genre he chooses. Rubin was born and raised on Long Island, NY.
