Music+-+Rap+&+Hip+Hop+(AH)

 Music is a voice and expression of art and passion. Music is not only an art form but an escape to your own world. Different artist, in the hip-hop and rap industry, rap about the same thing but in a different way with varying lyrics. They all have a way of expressing themselves. They’re in their own world, their own way of thinking.Rap and Hip-Hop have a bad reputation because of the lyrics expressed in the song. Some say it is racist, some of it is. Some say it dehumanizes women, some of it does, although, most people don’t truly listen to the lyrics. The women that they’re rapping about are women who put themselves in those positions. There are rappers who are true artist with legendary music, and there are others who never made it because they cant rap without using the “N” word and swearing all the time. Listen to the lyrics. Music is all about what they say and what it truly means, why they are rapping about that subject and what the punch lines mean. My favorite rapper is Eminem because lyrically, no one can touch him.Other favorite rappers; Tupac - legend of rap - made it what it is today.Biggy Smalls - Great lyrical artist.T.I - Lyrically different than any other. media type="youtube" key="hU6E3luiMDE" width="425" height="350"media type="youtube" key="j5-yKhDd64s" width="425" height="350"media type="youtube" key="W69SSLfRJho" width="425" height="350"media type="youtube" key="auC92I1cadg" width="425" height="350"His real name is Marshall Mathers. He was born in Missouri but grew up in Detroit Michigan. He started his career as a teenager. His self produced record came across Dr. Dre, and soon after, he produced Eminem’s first album. “Slim Shady” was released in 1999 and flew to the top of the charts. His follow up release, “The Marshall Mathers LP” sold over 2 million in its first week. Eminem stared in a flim, “8 Mile” in 2001. Since then he has been one of the top artist and showcases new artists under his own Shady Records label. Eminem is different than most hip-hop artists. His sense of humor is varied compared to others. His train of thought is different then most, that’s why some of his music sounds stupid, to be frank. He has music that is lyrically untouchable like “Not Afraid” and others that are, well, stupid like “Fack”. Eminem has some music that that is a little bit of both, where his lyrics are untouchable, at the same time, throwing in a couple funny lines like “Fast Lane, Ft “Royce da’ 5’9.””
