I feel for Jaz and Lil’ buck they had similar beginnings, influenced and developed from different things, along with starting out being popular on the streets. There was nothing to really base them off of when they started so they had to learn as they went. There were things and people before them that helped such as blues and ragtime for jazz, and his sister and friends for Lil’ Buck. The origins of both are in the south. For jazz and Lil Buck imprecision seems to be a key things. Now jazz is much more structured. Lil Buck has developed his talent so to us it may seem everywhere and very fluid, but him it is structured but still improvised which makes it new and interesting for the viewers. Like jazz Lil Buck people enjoy the experience

  • Comparison Of The Film Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats & Rhymes?

    1004 Words  | 3 Pages

    The film Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats & Rhymes is directed by filmmaker Byron Hurt. The film was released on January 24th, 2006. Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats & Rhymes is a documentary that looks at issues within hip-hop issues such as masculinity, sexism, violence, and homophobia. The problem I see in hip-hop/rap culture is the promotion of violence, sexism, and homophobia. Most artists don’t practice what they preach or rap about. They might rap on a track promoting gun violence to teens but the same rapper never touched a gun and he has a degree. Many artists also down play the effects their lyrics have on the youth.

    Hook--Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. (Christopher Wallace) were different in many ways, but there were also some major similarities between them. While they were both extremely influential rappers in their day, there was a lot of fighting between them considering the fact that Tupac was a West Coast rapper, and Biggie --The Notorious B.I.G.-- was an East Coast rapper. Tupac tended to be a lot more poetic and respectful to women he had better lyrics than Biggie, but Tupac had little flow.

    To say it lightly, Stanley Crouch does not like the hip-hop genre of music. The dreadlocks, the clothing style, and the "vulgar": gold chains are just a few things he does not approve of at all. (Crouch, 1 ) It astounds him to see how far African-American music has fallen since the days of the Motown. Stanley was quoted as saying this about rap, "It is rudeness, vulgarity, and pornography disguised as ‘keeping it real.'" (Crouch, 1) He also went on to say the hip-hop music genre has the worst impact of all music genres on our culture today. (Crouch, 2) Crouch believes one does not need much talent to become a successful rapper unlike the jazz greats he listens to all the time.

  • Th Future of Hip Hop

    1612 Words  | 4 Pages

    From its conception in the 1970's and throughout the 1980's, hip hop was a self-contained entity within the community that created it. This means that all the parameters set for the expression came from within the community and that it was meant for consumption by the community. Today, the audience is from outside of the community and doesn’t share the same experiences that drive the music. An artists’ success hinges on pleasing consumers, not the community. In today's world, it isn’t about music that rings true for those who share the artists' experiences, but instead, music that provides a dramatic illusion for those who will never share the experiences conveyed. This has radically changed the creative process of artists and the diversity of available music. Most notably, it has called in to question the future of hip hop.

    Jazz is, without a doubt, making their way down the slopes with other big genres take their fame and people just losing interest in the genre altogether. Although Jazz has lost a lot of their fame and losing the interest of their fans that use to be ‘so loyal,’ the question is still asked, “can you still make a living while being a jazz performer as your full-time job?” When people think about a Jazz performer or an artist of the genre of jazz, they look and think of someone who will perform for an audience and reel in money from their listeners but in reality, those Jazz prodigies are taking their knowledge to the classrooms.

  • Lester Young's Influence On Jazz

    1253 Words  | 3 Pages

    Jazz is a form of art music developed by Black Americans in the early twentieth century and was emerged from many cultures that branched out into many different styles. The development of jazz was influenced by some great musicians. One of the prominent one was Lester Young, an American jazz tenor-saxophonist and occasional clarinetist. His style has influenced many other well known musicians in the jazz history, leading him to play a significant role in the development of jazz. He undoubtedly was a masterful innovator from the mid 1930’s to the mid 1940s, not only because he changed the way saxophone was played, but also because he changed the art of jazz itself.

  • New School vs. Old School Hip-Hop

    702 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the eyes of the general public, all of Hip-Hop is usually categorized in the same way. Labeled as the poison of the Black community because nowadays, most Hip-Hop lyrics all sound the same generic way always talking about money, women, cars, drugs, or some type of beef that all these rappers sooner or later continuously have with one another. But what this new generation doesn’t know about are the positive and creative flows that were spit not so long ago in the 80’s and 90’s. Rappers back in the day like Tupac and Ice Cube both had times when they had to show off their thug sides but they both had reasons or a call-to-arms for that, and indeed were in tune with that era’s problems as well as the society where they were raised. Moreover, even though some new school songs actually look promising, old school songs are still always great classics that anybody in this day and age will most certainly vibe to.
