  • 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.

  • Analyzing Rudy's 'Making It Big'

    163 Words  | 1 Pages

    Rudy, a small town Hawaiian local boy, made it big in his life because he became very successful and happy in life coming out of a hard-to-live neighborhood. Rudy went from being a slacker to becoming one of the finest doctors there are. Rudy had some very satirical moments in his life, but it all led up to him becoming the great man he is today. We know that he came from a small, rough town because he says, in the Foreword, that, “...the Kahaluu I grew up in had it’s share of poverty and all the garbage that comes with it.” Furthermore, we can also identify how Rudy feels at the end of the story. On page 175 Rudy says, “Sometimes it’s good to be different.” In this saying we can feel how Rudy feels, happy and he is finally

    If you struggle while paddling across a clear lake, I wouldn’t recommend crossing Drake’s Passage. After reading any description of the passage, one would warily wonder what other dangers the depths hide and why Sir Ernest Shackleton would ever cross it in this condition, a decision I whole-heartedly agree with. Despite the harsh conditions, the desolate attitude of my crew and slim chance of survival, Shackleton pressed on. A feat that seems downright inhuman once you hear of the odds stacked against him. Between waves that can swallow you whole, unpredictable weather systems and waters that are among the coldest on Earth, to even fathom crossing without the proper equipment and years of experience is impossible.

    Hip Hop a grass movement started in 1974 in the South Bronx in New York City. Created to end gang violence, a voice for the underrepresented minority. Rap music is critical to understanding the hip hop generation’s gender crisis, a crisis between sexes that allows African American males to blatantly disrespect African American women for the sake of the culture. The consistent referencing of African American women as ‘bitches’ and ‘hos’ and the hyper sexualization of their bodies is harmful to the African American community. These images instill that it is alright to represent black women in this nature, and harmful to the young girls who are intaking all these negative images. Harmful to both the perspective of young men and women Hip-Hop is like a pillar in the African American culture. It represents how each generation views themselves in this society and how they internalized these narratives. In this essay I will summarize the main arguments in Chapter 7 of Gender talk , discuss the creation and deconstruction on views

    Tupac Shakur is one of the most influential artists of all time, regardless of genre. Tupac only lived for 25 years, as he was killed in a drive by shooting outside of a Las Vegas casino, which was allegedly the result of a feud between two rap groups. Tupac’s music has always cast a long shadow across the hip hop music industry, because his lyrics discussed deep and meaningful issues that his community was dealing with during his life time. The songs that I have selected to break down, in the ways they relate to and portray women during this time, are “Brenda’s got a baby,” “Dear Mama,” and “keep ya head up.” The lyrics, and stories that are discussed in these songs are extremely relatable and are example of why Tupac was able to rise to prominence,

    Rappers who have been considered soft have always been the victim of humiliation from others, in the documentary “Hip-Hop” Beyond Beats & Rhymes” Byron Hurt captures a scene at a rap concert rapper 50 Cent questioning the manhood of another rapper Ja Rule. He’s projected onto a screen and says to the crowd, “Ladies and Gentleman it has come to my attention that you guys don’t know what bitch ass niggas look like. Take a look at this” Appearing on the screen is a video of Ja Rule crying with watery eyes and a single tear streaming down his face. 50 continues to talk to the crowd when he says, “I know that’s not hip hop. You know that’s not hip-hop” (Hurt, Hip-Hop Beyond Beats & Rhymes) During this time 50 and Ja Rule were in a beef with each other. By questioning Ja Rule’s manhood especially in front of thousands of fans, Ja Rule was never the same. Ja Rule didn’t follow the masculine characteristics which is meant to be followed by all rappers and to 50, Ja Rule doesn’t represent hip hop. Although in reality both Ja Rule and 50 both came from hard upbringings but the reason Ja Rule got made fun of is because he tried to show his soft side and guys like 50 who showed no emotion were quickly to point out Ja Rule and discredit him as a rapper. To me the same thing that happened to Ja Rule is now happening to Drake meaning that Drake shows his emotions but the

  • Aubrey Drake Graham

    1077 Words  | 3 Pages

    Aubrey Drake Graham was born in Ontario, Canada. He first became famous for playing a role in the teen TV series, Degrassi in 2001. This went on for 7 years and slowly transitioned into what he is most know for now, rapping. With almost 2 million albums sold, 14 BET awards, 2 Grammy’s and a recent contract with Nike’s Jordan Brand has Drizzy Drake on top of the Hip-Hop world. The song “Look What You’ve Done” from the album Take Care, released November of 2011, is more emotional and personal than most Hip-Hop track. Those vibes are given off from the soothing piano playing in the background and the way he raps about his past. Paul Lester, musical journalist, suggests Drake's style is labeled as soft in his article, "Why do you hate me so much?" Lester goes on to say, " Drake's sound is labeled as "soft" for his genuine, merciful lyrics and soulful melody to most hip hop listeners. Drake has even described himself as "the first person to successfully rap and sing." (The Guardian) In my eyes this is the thing that makes Drake different from others and what makes people drawn to his music “Look What You’ve Done” by Drake, there is an obvious explicit message that he has many different people to thank in his life. Yet most people who listen to the song will not immediately recognize the implicit message that Drake's parents divorced when he was five years old so his mom raised him and was there for him a lot more than his father was. They may also not realize how big of a role Drake's
