He has a very recognizable voice and the lyrics he writes are usually over the top. I think he probably gets high and just spits out the words whether they make sense or not. He repeats his lines a lot and if he wrote them down, he probably wouldn't do that, but no matter what, he spits out the rhymes like it's nothing. I like the fact that Lil Wayne raps about real life.

The Narco movement also heavily relies on the Internet and social media to broadcast their music. Just like Nortec, they are using the Internet as a driving force to reach out to people. Narcocorridos are not seeking to erase the negativity of cartels but instead make the public aware cartels are around and their way of life is not ending anytime soon.

Where Hip Hop Began Steven Keo ITT Technical Institute Mr. Steve Ryan 9/18/12 Where Hip Hop Began Hip hop has become one of the most loved genres when it comes to music in this day and age. Many fans are quite clueless of where the actual roots came from and who the originators or founding fathers were. The earliest trace of the birth of hip hop’s movement and culture dated back in the late sixties. Everyone can agree that the birthplace of hip hop was on the east coast, but what parts? Everybody knows the hip hop moguls of the nineties such as; Biggies Smalls, Tupac Shakur, Dr. Dre, Jay Z, and Snoop Dogg, but who were the pioneers?
Hip Hop's four main elements are Mc'ing, DJing, graffiti writing, and breakdancing. Other elements include beatboxing, hip hop fashion, and slang. It covers a broad range of ideas, styling and techniques that are unique to specific demographic areas. And last but not least, there is “Gospel Rap” music. Gospel rap can also be known for drawing an older crowd to as well as the youth, cause its easier to understand to others and they seem not to disrespect the opposite sex.
Beginning in a lower economic class in New York City, Jay-Z used his rapping abilities and talents to catapult himself to the top of not only the popular music charts, but also the music industry as a whole. Furthermore, Jay-Z has expanded himself beyond the realm of music to include fragrances, clothing, video games, and even the National Basketball Association (NBA) the Brooklyn Nets. People use Jay-Z’s success as an example of how anyone can succeed in our society. Jay-Z even epitomizes tokenism when he raps about these things in his hit song “New York”. I agree with tokenism because it keeps showing up over time and has been proven through many examples.
Either way, Hip-Hop will continue to be one of the most popular genres worldwide. In the song Changes by Tupac Shakur, he expressed his views on various political subjects such as police brutality, the war on drugs and violence, black unity, and Black on Black violence. Police
{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.
“The Early life of Tupac Amaru Shakur” Who is the greatest rapper of all time? Now this a opinionated question and the answer really has no right or wrong. But it’s not that hard for us to determine that Tupac Shakur is one of the most successful and prolific rappers of all time. After all, not only did he modernize the modern day rap industry, he also revolutionized it. But how many of Tupac’s fans and followers have actually taken the time to know his life’s story before he became famous, before he became rich, and before he set the standard of what all West Coast rappers should or should not be.
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.
Often political, some of rap's most famous stars have come from street gangs. Its combination of gritty urban storytelling and beat-driven, technologically sophisticated music has gained popularity worldwide. Famous rappers include Run D.M.C, Rick Ross and Jay-z. African American music has influenced many modern musical styles. For example Chuck Berry (1926-) and Little Richard (1932-) transformed urban blues into what we know as rock ‘n' roll; rock guitarist, singer and songwriter Jimi Hendrix (1942-1970) began his career in a rhythm and blues band; and Stevie Wonder (1951-) and Marvin Gaye (1940-1984), transformed the sound of Motown into soul music.
