What Is The Role Of Electronic Dance In Houston
Bright lights flashing, sweaty bodies dancing, and loud bass traveling through oceans of people.
Something has transformed Houston's nightlife, and it is not the old honky–tonks any longer.
Electronic dance music (EDM) has changed the way many Houstonians listen, dance and socialize
in club like backdrops. The Houston electronic dance music scene was once an underground secret
where social outcasts would meet to rave till the sun hit the horizons. Now, the scene has become an
epic trend thriving throughout the city. Although the city is not a stronghold for the scene, there are
multiple venues that host electronic dance music shows for DJ's and fans alike. The bass has hit
Houston, and Houston has embraced the beat with open arms. The electronic

Essay on The Growing Industry of Electronic Dance Music
Introduction
Electronic dance music (EDM) festivals around the world bring hundreds of thousands of fans
together for enormous multi–day parties. New York Ranger (2014) points out that 'DJs are the new
rock stars'.
"While attendance at concerts and festivals for other music genres declined by 8.3% in the past three
years, EDM has only prospered" (Lashbaugh, 2013).
Lashbaugh (2013) also notes that EDM festivals are twice as big in attendance than all concerts and
festivals in other music genres, combined.
EDM is a growing industry! Last year the festival scene generated 4 billion dollars. For 2013 EDM
scene has again grown and is now valued at 15 – 20 billion dollars US (Sam, 2013).

The Evolution Of Hip Hop Music
When hip–hop first emerged in the streets of New York in the 1970s, nobody predicted that this new
type of sound would become as admired and widespread as it has become. This new genre of music
has encouraged and motivated numerous artists from not just the United States, but elsewhere to
integrate their own originality and create a new sound that several audiences can enjoy throughout. I
started to pay attention to Puerto–Rican rap group Calle 13 when I first heard their song "Atreve–
Te–Te". This track had a different sound and lyrical content from other songs that were playing on
the radio during this time. It incorporated a Colombian Cumbia sound as well as Spanglish in their
lyrics, which other singles in the radio were not integrating.

Hip Hop And Stereotypes
Behavioural rules explain the way the artist is presented to the customer. They include the artist's
behaviour on the stage and in the photo shoots, along with the reaction of fans to his performances.
As it was stated before, hip–hop became not only a genre of music, but a culture and a movement.
People who listen to that music view themselves as more than fans. Hip hop is their life. "(...) the
longevity of rap's appeal for young people is firmly linked with the way in which rap can be used as
a meaning of engaging with and expressing dissatisfaction at the more restrictive features of
everyday life in globally diffuse social settings." (Bennett, 2001, p. 89). As well as other cultures,

For some people music is like a medicine for the soul. It gives them hope, motivation and a feeling
that they are not alone. An artist is able to help others by speaking up about the important issues.
That is the foundation of hip–hop music. As DJ Kool Herc, the "creator of hip–hop" stated: "There
are a lot of people who are doing something positive, who are doing hip–hop the way it was meant
to be done. They are reaching young people, showing them what the world could be– people living
together and having fun. But too often, the ones that get the most recognition are the ones
emphasizing the negative. And I think a lot of people are scared to speak on issues. "Keeping it real"
has become just another fad word. It sounds cute. But it has been pimped and perverted. It ain't
about keeping it real. It's got to be about keeping it real. For example, rappers want to be so "bling–
bling". Are you really living a luxurious life? Don't you have other issues? What things touch you?
That's what we'd like to hear rappers speak about. Start a dialogue with people. Talk about things
going on in the neighbourhood." (Chang, 2011, p.12) Home for that genre of music is ghetto. People

More Life Drake Analysis
Upon the release of Drake's newest project, More Life, I figured it'd be best to curtail any
expectations I had; following the partial disappointment of Views and the singles he released prior.
Consequently, it surpassed each assumption that I didn't even have for it. Playlist, mixtape, album,
whatever the fuck you call it, this is one of Drake's most cohesive pieces to date. Hell, it's so
cohesive that calling it anything but an album just seems downright ridiculous, but it's evident now
that no one's stopping him from doing whatever the hell he wants to. The world influence on More

Though this song has received the same radio treatment as just about every Drake pop smash, this
one doesn't necessarily scream "Controlla" or "One Dance". This cut seems far more authentic and
even a bit reminiscent of "Feel No Ways", all the while feeling the sonic sensation of a bottle of
Malibu being poured down my throat. That same feeling is exposed to an even higher extent on
"Blem", a breezy, lighthearted ode to smoking mad kush; well, at least that what it means according
to Urban Dictionary. I don't even know, it's just a fun word to spell. The return of T–Minus could not
feel anymore exhilarating, as he fills this lively joint up to the brim with groovy synths and a
brilliant Lionel Richie interpolation. Drake, meanwhile, receives no backlash for biting that dude
from The Chainsmokers' flow on this track. Conversely, the controversy behind Drake stealing

In the music industry, it's very common nowadays for most artists to change their appearances to a
more sexually appealing and risque look to attract fans, money, etc. These practices of bad imagery
are present in hip hop music the most out of all the genres. Bad imagery in rap is one of the main
causes of the exploitation of women in this country today. Women are being overexposed in rap
music whether that being a sex symbol, gold digger, or a "freak". According to Dr. Carolyn West
from the University of Washington, "Black girls are not seeing positive images of who they are and
what they be. Looking at sexual imagery really impacts the functioning of teenage girls" (Post–
Gazette 2). Teenage girls see these women in various videos and songs and they believe that they
should mimic the same actions that they are portraying. Misogyny is also a present factor in songs
like "Rake it Up" by Yo Gotti with lines like, "I tell all my h***, Rake it up, break it down, bag it
up" (Yo Gotti 2017). Songs such as those degrade women and show younger males how to treat
women which is a false teaching toward the younger generation. Teens can be easily swayed by hip
hop to become the imagery shown through hip hop and become these people which changes their

rhythm. I would go on, but I'll discuss these, since I find these to be the biggest problems I have
with this genre. I could say this about any genre of music, but hip hop and rap seem to be the genres
where this issue is mostly displayed. From the majority of songs that I've heard, rap and hip hop
generally seem to focus on the same topics: violence, gangs, sexism and alcohol or drug use. Of
course songs in other genres have some of these elements, and not all hip hop songs contain these
elements, but in a general summary, hip hop contains a large variety of songs with at least one of
these components. The songs talk about life in "the hood", drug and alcohols of different names,
objectifying women, and violence of all sorts. I would like to name a few lyrics from various artists

Dred Scott V Sandford
Rap music is a reflection of Black culture that for decades has been used to highlight social
injustices. There are many similarities to the Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857), which help to underline
the historical pain the Blacks had to endure both in the past and present. The case of Dred Scott v.
Sandford was based on the establishment of racism and political movement on enslavement. Chang,
Jeff "Can't Stop Won't Stop" explains the events of (1960–1973) social condition prevailing in New
York, especially the South Bronx, in the generation leading up to the birth of hip hop.
The impact of the Dred Scott v. Sandford lasted from (1833–1857). Dred Scott was originally from
Virginia but resided in both Illinois and Missouri for most of his life. One of the reasons he resided
in Illinois, was because it was known as a free state. In 1846, Dred Scott entered the state of
Missouri and sued for his freedom in the Missouri Courts; unfortunately it was an unsuccessful
attempt. Throughout his life, he continued to challenge the Courts for his freedom, ultimately
obtaining freedom in 1857. Dred Scott becoming a free black was the beginning of an American
history revolution.
Enslavement existed for at least 400 years and some might say that it still exist today but presents
itself differently. It has a huge impact on African Americans because living in an anti–black world

In the mid to late 1980's, Dj's in Chicago began playing around with a Roland TB–303, a bass
synthesizer, using the machine in ways it wasn't intended for. After playing around, a genre called
acid house emerged in Chicago clubs. By 1987, London had caught onto house music and later
introduced acid house to the clubgoers. By the early 1990's, organizations began holding raves in the
UK at warehouses or in fields, and new genres of house called happy hardcore and jungle became
popular. As genres grew, setting up shows became difficult. By 1992, raves in the UK started taking
place in licensed venues in order to avoid confrontation with law enforcement. Throughout the
1990's house music took off and new subgenres emerged in the rave scene (Simms). Just as punk
music took hold in New York from the UK in the 1980's, raves and house music followed suit in the

Hip Hop And Hip Rap Music
Hip hop music has delivered messages of freedom of expression, unity, peace, and protest against
social injustices, for the past 30 years. But exactly when and where did it begin, and what impact
has it had on our society? The hip hop beats created by DJs in the 70s actually sparked what is now
known as hip hop culture. Hip hop culture originally included rapping, break dancing, graffiti, beat
boxing, and looping and scratching, and has now includes urban clothing and cars, speech patterns
and slang, and movement styles. In the early 70s, in New York 's South Bronx, the music genre of
hip hop was born. The man behind its birth was Clive Campbell, aka DJ Kool Herc, who was from
Kingston, Jamaica. DJ Kool Herc began to use two turntables to bring out the parts of the song that
people liked best, and he rapped along to encourage break dancing. Before the 1980s, hip hop music
was mainly seen within the United States. However, during the 1980s, it began its spread and
became a part of the popular music scene in many other countries. The popularity of hip hop music
continued through the 1990s and 2000s. Dr. Dre and Eminem were two of the most successful

Hip Hop And Hip Rap Music
Hip hop music has delivered messages of freedom of expression, unity, peace, and protest against
social injustices, for the past 30 years. But exactly when and where did it begin, and what impact
has it had on our society? The hip hop beats created by DJs in the 70s actually sparked what is now
known as hip hop culture. Hip hop culture originally included rapping, break dancing, graffiti, beat
boxing, and looping and scratching, and has now includes urban clothing and cars, speech patterns
and slang, and movement styles. In the early 70s, in New York 's South Bronx, the music genre of
hip hop was born. The man behind its birth was Clive Campbell, aka DJ Kool Herc, who was from
Kingston, Jamaica. DJ Kool Herc began to use two turntables to bring out the parts of the song that
people liked best, and he rapped along to encourage break dancing. Before the 1980s, hip hop music
was mainly seen within the United States. However, during the 1980s, it began its spread and

Analysis Of The Movie ' The Get Down Where Shaolin...
The Get Down establishes inherent norms over time, creating rules that viewers internalize as
defining the show's storytelling strategies. For example, how each episode starts off with Zeke's
older self rapping a recap of the prior episode in a front of full audience at Madison Square Garden
in New York. Being defined as a musical comedy and gritty prestige drama , if there was an episode
in The Get Down where Shaolin Fantastic is not spinning turntables, Zeke is not rapping, or Mylene
isn't singing, it surprises the audience. Episodes that violate these norms stand out by in violating
fan expectations. Because this is a common for the first half of the first season, viewers would

the age of 10 in Kingston, Jamaica, DJ Kool Herc began spinning records at parties and between
sets his father's band played while he was a teenager in the Bronx in the early 1970s. Herc often
emulated the style of Jamaican "selectors" (DJs) by "toasting" (i.e., talking) over the records he
spun, but his historical significance has nothing to do with rapping. Kool Herc's contribution to hip

As the genre of Hip Hop and Rap spread around the world, it became a social and cultural platform
for artists. Most people assume that it has the biggest influence on the black community in America,
but the music has spread far beyond that specific audience. Critics describe Hip Hop music as
homophobic, racist, vulgar, and violent. Tricia Rose contradicts this statement perfectly: "Rappers'
lyrics really do offer gripping tales of loss, sorrow, exploitation, rage, confinement, hopelessness,
and despair about conditions that are denied in the larger society" ("The Role Of Hip Hop"). It is
imporant to see past the innapropriate langauge and listen to the actual message of the song, because
in most scenarios the message outweighs the vulgar words.
As soon as this music genre became popular among teens and young adults, a plethora of songs
came out with important social messages. In the society we live in today, suicide is a prominent
issue. Very recently, three very popular artists teamed up to use their following to promote the

The Hip-Hop : The Four Types Of Hip Hop Culture
The young men and women of Bronx, New York created the cultural phenomenon called hip hop,
because of the changes in the environment during the 1970s. Some of these changes include
population diversity, advancement in media technology, changing economy, and the citizens' ideas
of their rights. Hip–Hop is a multi–layered art form. It consists of four layers. These four layers are
DJing/Beatmaking, break dancing, graffiti, and rapping. Hip–Hop has become a worldwide
sensation. It can be found in about every city in the world. For example In countries like Berlin,
Barcelona, Paris, Havanna, Rome, and Tokyo the hip–hop culture is embraced. The race of people
who are correlated with Hip Hop culture are usually african americans and latin americans.
Although many of the people who started the phenomenon fall into those categories, there were also
caucasian members who added the momentum of Hip hop. For example Cap who many people
consider to be a graffiti artist legend. Diversity was very essential in the making of hip–hop culture.
Many people consider diversity to be very helpful in environments. "People work harder, are more
creative, and are more diligent when they work with or around a diverse group of people", says
Katherine W. Phillips, who is a professor and senior vice dean at Columbia Business School.
Companies that put a priority on innovation are worth more when minorities hold top leadership
positions. These companies are $44 million more valuable, on average. How is diversity important
to the creation of hip hop though? The Bronx was already a diverse area before hip hop. Some of
these races included african americans, west indians from anglophone islands, and spanish speaking
people from Puerto Rico, Cuba, Honduras, and Panama. After a while many white americans left the
Bronx. Now the American born minorities started fusing their culture together. The two races
connected specifically by the use of music. Rayman Mantila said " After I got to play the conga
drums I had a bunch of friends that were all interested in playing drums, the puerto rican kids in my

People who listen to that music view themselves as more than fans. Hip hop is their life. "(...) the
longevity of rap's appeal for young people is firmly linked with the way in which rap can be used as
a meaning of engaging with and expressing dissatisfaction at the more restrictive features of
everyday life in globally diffuse social settings." (Bennett, 2001, p. 89). As well as other cultures,

For some people music is like a medicine for the soul. It gives them hope, motivation and a feeling
that they are not alone. An artist is able to help others by speaking up about the important issues.
That is the foundation of hip–hop music. As DJ Kool Herc, the "creator of hip–hop" stated: "There
are a lot of people who are doing something positive, who are doing hip–hop the way it was meant
to be done. They are reaching young people, showing them what the world could be– people living
together and having fun. But too often, the ones that get the most recognition are the ones
emphasizing the negative. And I think a lot of people are scared to speak on issues. "Keeping it real"
has become just another fad word. It sounds cute. But it has been pimped and perverted. It ain't
about keeping it real. It's got to be about keeping it real. For example, rappers want to be so "bling–
bling". Are you really living a luxurious life? Don't you have other issues? What things touch you?
That's what we'd like to hear rappers speak about. Start a dialogue with people. Talk about things
going on in the neighbourhood." (Chang, 2011, p.12) Home for that genre of music is ghetto. People
in that place had to face problems, that the ones from the centre of the city did not even have to

Rap Music And Its Effects On The Lives Of Those Who...
Music plays a immense part in the lives of those who experience it. It has the power to influence
behaviors and moods and even important decisions one makes in life. A device with that amount of
power must have very meticulous monitoring. Choosing between more uplifting music and more
degrading music can be difficult surprisingly, simply because a lot of adults like rap and music
categories like that that contain a lot of degrading messages. Positive, uplifting music is a much
better choice for overall well being than negatively influenced music.
Negatively influenced lyrics in music do nothing but influence activities that degrade one 's health.
Pro–drug songs that influence and welcome the consumption of alcohol and drugs, like rap and pop,
encourage people to indulge in those kinds of activities, because they portray those activities as
acceptable and tolerable. Rap music is a very popular thing in today's society, which means it has
plenty of room to influence the consumption of drugs and alcohol. According to Tara Pope from the
New York Times, "77 percent" of rap songs today "reference drugs or alcohol," which is a
substantial number of songs. Then when teens are listening to music an average of "16 hours a

I think the most important thing is to keep an open mind. The great fashion industry has taken over
the hip hop culture and evolved over time. People like Ralph lauren, Calvin Klein, and Tommy
Hilfiger tapped into hip hop culture and gave very little in return. It first consisted of baggy shirts,
sagging pants and jerseys. Then people like Jay–Z linked up with brands like louis vuitton to create
their own fashion lines. The clothes got tighter, classically fashionable and much more expensive.
Clothing will always evolve with the dancers and music to fit the style of that era. Hip Hop dancing
has multiple different styles that can be put together or left alone to form a unique dance. There is
Break, Popping, Locking, Krumping, Freestyle and Novelty. Break was the first hip hop dance and

With every action, there is a consequence. It is so ever often that someone can do a misdeed and
receive nothing from it. However, there would still be speculation from it. So if nothing happens,
does the person move on with their lives, or does it haunt them until they confess? Well, it depends
on the person. One can be paranoid of their surroundings, while the other can forget about what they
did and move on. If someone commits a crime and it caught, there will be a consequence. It can
either be shortly after the crime, or years later. Frankly, someone will have to face the consequences.
The criminal just has to deal with it and realize their actions are what led them to the consequence.

It will go in 2 directions. One will be where they hide what they did and "accidentally" commit more
crimes, while the other is that they found pleasure in committing the crime and want more of that
feeling. The first direction includes someone being paranoid and doing things they do not want or
that they usually would never do. It gets to a point where they have done enough damage and it
breaks the person. They cannot deal with it anymore and turn themselves in since they have nothing
to lose anymore. They lost themselves in the mess and the only way out is to accept it and come out
with the truth. The other direction goes as such: the person commits the crime and they feel good
about it. They get that high that boosts their confidence and they love that feeling. They need more
of it. Therefore, they will continue to do more crimes and with each one, it escalates so they can get
the same high as the first one. Each one gets worse and so on until they get caught. At that point,

Essay on Rap and Hip Hop Do Not Affect Society Negatively
Rap and hip hop music have been debated many times over the years about whether or not this
choice of music affects society negatively. As you will learn from this presentation, rap does not
affect society negatively and is a great choice of music. It helps save lives, relieves stress, and tells
vital messages to learn from.

Mom was always getting arrested for her cocaine addiction and Eminem was starting to become

"Straighten up little soldier – stiffen up that upper lip." He's telling them to be strong and that
everything will be okay someday. ("Eminem – Mockingbird.") Now, let's consider the second verse
of the song. He tells of a story where one Christmas he had no money to buy presents for his
daughters. He had to keep food on the table instead. Eminem and Kim (his wife) tried to start a
college savings for their daughters, but every time they tried saving up, their house always got
broken into. Life got worse, and they both eventually moved out. Eminem was starting to get
famous for his CD, and he had to start working for his rap career, distancing himself even further

Dj Kol Herc Research Paper
Clive Campbell, better known by his stage name DJ Kool Herc, is a Jamaican American DJ who
often threw block parties in the early 1970's in one of the most impoverished areas of New York
City, the South Bronx . At these party's Herc created rhythmic beats by looping the breaks in songs.
Later these same beats would be accompanied by "rap", a rhythmic style of chanting poetry which is
often presented in 16–bar measures or time frames (Thompson). Herc is often regarded as the father
of hip hop music because what started out as just block party music turned into a cultural movement
for many young African–American youths. The music in different eras represents a sort of time
machine into what ideas and problems are wrong with society, thus bringing them to the attention of
the masses and getting them solved. Hip–Hop music took a progressive approach to this by

Difference Between Rap And Hip Hop
It should be of no surprise that the majority of rap music, new and old, includes lyrics that refer to
glorifying the use of illicit substances. Because rap and hip hop are the main types of music listened
to in the Black community, it should be noted that the music primarily affects this demographic. The
detrimental effects of the lyrics on the community can still be seen today. Rap and hip hop have
shaped the culture of the Black community significantly. The glorification of different drugs in rap
music across rap in the United States has significantly influenced the lifestyle of the listeners. Rap
and hip hop was originally created to foster creativity and artistic expression in impoverished Black
communities in New York. DJ Kool Herc was the first individual to bring rap to the forefront in
New York. Rap was a way that young black individuals, especially men, could come together in an
inclusive and positive setting. Hip hop gave individuals a platform and a safe space to express what
was going on in their community. Rap is deeply rooted in the Black community because of the
historical context and importance it holds in the culture. Unfortunately, the genre of rap and hip hop
has evolved over time and the original meaning has been demolished. Now the music is full of
vulgar lyrics about sex, violence, and drugs. Sadly, the adoration of drugs in the genre is a common
source for all of the issues mentioned above.

Rap Music And Its Effects On The Lives Of Those Who...
Music plays a immense part in the lives of those who experience it. It has the power to influence
behaviors and moods and even important decisions one makes in life. A device with that amount of
power must have very meticulous monitoring. Choosing between more uplifting music and more
degrading music can be difficult surprisingly, simply because a lot of adults like rap and music
categories like that that contain a lot of degrading messages. Positive, uplifting music is a much
better choice for overall well being than negatively influenced music.
Negatively influenced lyrics in music do nothing but influence activities that degrade one 's health.
Pro–drug songs that influence and welcome the consumption of alcohol and drugs, like rap and pop,
encourage people to indulge in those kinds of activities, because they portray those activities as
acceptable and tolerable. Rap music is a very popular thing in today's society, which means it has
plenty of room to influence the consumption of drugs and alcohol. According to Tara Pope from the
New York Times, "77 percent" of rap songs today "reference drugs or alcohol," which is a
substantial number of songs. Then when teens are listening to music an average of "16 hours a
week," one can bet that music definitely has to give those teens something. Pope also says that

Hip hop music has delivered messages of freedom of expression, unity, peace, and protest against
social injustices, for the past 30 years. But exactly when and where did it begin, and what impact
has it had on our society? The hip hop beats created by DJs in the 70s actually sparked what is now
known as hip hop culture. Hip hop culture originally included rapping, break dancing, graffiti, beat
boxing, and looping and scratching, and has now includes urban clothing and cars, speech patterns
and slang, and movement styles. In the early 70s, in New York 's South Bronx, the music genre of
hip hop was born. The man behind its birth was Clive Campbell, aka DJ Kool Herc, who was from
Kingston, Jamaica. DJ Kool Herc began to use two turntables to bring out the parts of the song that
people liked best, and he rapped along to encourage break dancing. Before the 1980s, hip hop music
was mainly seen within the United States. However, during the 1980s, it began its spread and
became a part of the popular music scene in many other countries. The popularity of hip hop music
continued through the 1990s and 2000s. Dr. Dre and Eminem were two of the most successful

Tagging, which can be a simple form of one color only; second, is the Threw–Up in which the artist
may use more than two colors, and the Spray is the third type where more colors and complexity is
used. (Gross 285)

What Is The Role Of Electronic Dance In Houston

  • 1. What Is The Role Of Electronic Dance In Houston Bright lights flashing, sweaty bodies dancing, and loud bass traveling through oceans of people. Something has transformed Houston's nightlife, and it is not the old honky–tonks any longer. Electronic dance music (EDM) has changed the way many Houstonians listen, dance and socialize in club like backdrops. The Houston electronic dance music scene was once an underground secret where social outcasts would meet to rave till the sun hit the horizons. Now, the scene has become an epic trend thriving throughout the city. Although the city is not a stronghold for the scene, there are multiple venues that host electronic dance music shows for DJ's and fans alike. The bass has hit Houston, and Houston has embraced the beat with open arms. The electronic ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

This information is your brand. So now you know what your brand is made up of. Next, how can you improve your brand and connect with others? Let's take a look at some individuals who have taken their personal brands to the next level with the use of the social media platforms listed before. I want to start by looking at Lil Yachty.

Lavar is the father of Lonzo Ball a potential top five pick in this year's NBA draft. Lavar has developed his own athletic brand called Big Baller Brand which his son is the premier athlete for. Over the last year he has gained popularity for his antics at his son's basketball games, the bold statements he makes on camera, and his constant trash talking on his social media platforms. Many are not in favor of Lavar Ball, but no one can deny the fact that he has successfully built and taken his personal brand to celebrity status within the sports market. Lavar wisely uses the different platforms of social media. He makes arrogant and clearly not true statements people do not want to hear which in turn gets him publicity and exposure. When mentioning basketball shoes it is almost certain the name Big Baller Brand will enter the conversation at some point. I understand not everyone wants to be a rapper, music producer, or start their own athletic brand. With that being said, anyone going into any field of business, marketing, sales, or a career as an entrepreneur could learn from these individuals. Publicity is everything and to be successful people have to know who you are. Building your brand is vital to your ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 3. Essay on The Growing Industry of Electronic Dance Music Introduction Electronic dance music (EDM) festivals around the world bring hundreds of thousands of fans together for enormous multi–day parties. New York Ranger (2014) points out that 'DJs are the new rock stars'. "While attendance at concerts and festivals for other music genres declined by 8.3% in the past three years, EDM has only prospered" (Lashbaugh, 2013). Lashbaugh (2013) also notes that EDM festivals are twice as big in attendance than all concerts and festivals in other music genres, combined. EDM is a growing industry! Last year the festival scene generated 4 billion dollars. For 2013 EDM scene has again grown and is now valued at 15 – 20 billion dollars US (Sam, 2013).

  • 5. The Evolution Of Hip Hop Music When hip–hop first emerged in the streets of New York in the 1970s, nobody predicted that this new type of sound would become as admired and widespread as it has become. This new genre of music has encouraged and motivated numerous artists from not just the United States, but elsewhere to integrate their own originality and create a new sound that several audiences can enjoy throughout. I started to pay attention to Puerto–Rican rap group Calle 13 when I first heard their song "Atreve– Te–Te". This track had a different sound and lyrical content from other songs that were playing on the radio during this time. It incorporated a Colombian Cumbia sound as well as Spanglish in their lyrics, which other singles in the radio were not integrating. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 6. Hip Hop And Stereotypes Behavioural rules explain the way the artist is presented to the customer. They include the artist's behaviour on the stage and in the photo shoots, along with the reaction of fans to his performances. As it was stated before, hip–hop became not only a genre of music, but a culture and a movement. People who listen to that music view themselves as more than fans. Hip hop is their life. "(...) the longevity of rap's appeal for young people is firmly linked with the way in which rap can be used as a meaning of engaging with and expressing dissatisfaction at the more restrictive features of everyday life in globally diffuse social settings." (Bennett, 2001, p. 89). As well as other cultures, Hip Hop has its foundational elements: o "DJing and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... For some people music is like a medicine for the soul. It gives them hope, motivation and a feeling that they are not alone. An artist is able to help others by speaking up about the important issues. That is the foundation of hip–hop music. As DJ Kool Herc, the "creator of hip–hop" stated: "There are a lot of people who are doing something positive, who are doing hip–hop the way it was meant to be done. They are reaching young people, showing them what the world could be– people living together and having fun. But too often, the ones that get the most recognition are the ones emphasizing the negative. And I think a lot of people are scared to speak on issues. "Keeping it real" has become just another fad word. It sounds cute. But it has been pimped and perverted. It ain't about keeping it real. It's got to be about keeping it real. For example, rappers want to be so "bling– bling". Are you really living a luxurious life? Don't you have other issues? What things touch you? That's what we'd like to hear rappers speak about. Start a dialogue with people. Talk about things going on in the neighbourhood." (Chang, 2011, p.12) Home for that genre of music is ghetto. People in that place had to face problems, that the ones from the centre of the city did not even have to think about. They wanted to speak up about the things that was in their heads.

  • 7. More Life Drake Analysis Upon the release of Drake's newest project, More Life, I figured it'd be best to curtail any expectations I had; following the partial disappointment of Views and the singles he released prior. Consequently, it surpassed each assumption that I didn't even have for it. Playlist, mixtape, album, whatever the fuck you call it, this is one of Drake's most cohesive pieces to date. Hell, it's so cohesive that calling it anything but an album just seems downright ridiculous, but it's evident now that no one's stopping him from doing whatever the hell he wants to. The world influence on More Life is impossible to go unnoticed, consisting of features from some of London's hottest artists, Atlanta's hit–machines and a doozy of dancehall inspired gems; those of which outshine the tracks he made when he'd first begun ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Though this song has received the same radio treatment as just about every Drake pop smash, this one doesn't necessarily scream "Controlla" or "One Dance". This cut seems far more authentic and even a bit reminiscent of "Feel No Ways", all the while feeling the sonic sensation of a bottle of Malibu being poured down my throat. That same feeling is exposed to an even higher extent on "Blem", a breezy, lighthearted ode to smoking mad kush; well, at least that what it means according to Urban Dictionary. I don't even know, it's just a fun word to spell. The return of T–Minus could not feel anymore exhilarating, as he fills this lively joint up to the brim with groovy synths and a brilliant Lionel Richie interpolation. Drake, meanwhile, receives no backlash for biting that dude from The Chainsmokers' flow on this track. Conversely, the controversy behind Drake stealing flows has been all but silent as of late, resulting from using a similar cadence as now–liberated Florida rapper XXXTENTACION on his Soundcloud hit, 'Look At ...

  • 8. How Has Hip-Hop Changed In The 80's Hip–Hop has changed over the decades some of these decades include the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. Hip–Hop came from New York, few people knew about Hip–Hop when it was first being created in the late 1970s. Hip–hop did not really emerge until the 1980s when more Hip–Hop artist recorded and released more music. The 1990s came along Hip–Hop turned more vulgar which is also my favorite Hip–Hop era. The early 2000s is the most memorable. Hip–Hop has evolved into many forms some rock bands have even done a Hip–Hop album bands like the most memorable. Hip–Hop has evolved into different forms some rock bands have even done a Hip–Hop album bands like Limp Bizkit. The genre created in very poor districts, like the Bronx, in New York by African– American and Latino teenagers. They learned how to use turntables by working as DJs at discos. DJs and MCs would play at free block parties. An MC is an abbreviation for Master of Ceremony his/her job is to focus on skills, lyrical ability, and subject. So, during block parties, the DJ would play music and the MC encouraged guest to have fun. Parties went on MCs slowly started to rhyme while they were performing.

It also being highly accepted in nowadays society. Furthermore, EDM had been widely used in many singer songs, for instance, "Not today", a song from a Korea's boy band, also a famous song "let me love you", which made by both DJ Snake and Jutin Bieber. EDM is not just a club music. However, cause the electronic music doesn't involve any instrument, some critics oppose the idea that EDM is a genre of music. The argument about EDM has been sustained for a long time, it's time for those rigid people accept the new technology. EDM doesn't really mean electronic dance music.

In people's common sense, musics are all create with instruments, can EDM also count as a music, which break up the tradition. The definition for music shouldn't be that confined. In the ancient time, there's no "instrument", people knocked desks, bowls, bows as the beats for their songs. With time elapsing, "instrument" been created, and defined as instrument. Let's say instrument is a thing which give people beats and complete the song. As well as electronic device also can give people beats and complete songs, electronic dance music can also be a music. I had read a article about whether EDM can be a genre music. In this article, author mentioned a important idea that who or which group of people can decided the genre of music. In my opinion, no one can decided it. Music is a thing about emotion, everyone have different emotion. We can't say somebody's emotion is wrong.

Rap music has been a staple in modern day music and pop culture since its beginning in the 1970's in the South Bronx area of New York. Rap started as an underground movement started by many artists and DJ's (or disc jockeys). It started as a form of expressing oneself and discussing many social and political issues through music.

In the music industry, it's very common nowadays for most artists to change their appearances to a more sexually appealing and risque look to attract fans, money, etc. These practices of bad imagery are present in hip hop music the most out of all the genres. Bad imagery in rap is one of the main causes of the exploitation of women in this country today. Women are being overexposed in rap music whether that being a sex symbol, gold digger, or a "freak". According to Dr. Carolyn West from the University of Washington, "Black girls are not seeing positive images of who they are and what they be. Looking at sexual imagery really impacts the functioning of teenage girls" (Post– Gazette 2). Teenage girls see these women in various videos and songs and they believe that they should mimic the same actions that they are portraying. Misogyny is also a present factor in songs like "Rake it Up" by Yo Gotti with lines like, "I tell all my h***, Rake it up, break it down, bag it up" (Yo Gotti 2017). Songs such as those degrade women and show younger males how to treat women which is a false teaching toward the younger generation. Teens can be easily swayed by hip hop to become the imagery shown through hip hop and become these people which changes their perception on other people and changes their attitudes.

  • 15. Rap Vs Rap When it came to music, I usually just listen to whatever was around me, radio, TV, YouTube, etc, no matter the genre. Until recently, I never had a "favorite type" of music, but now I've become fond of rock and most of all classic rock. If there was a genre that I'd have to say I personally don't like, it's rap and most of all, hip hop. I don't like hip hop for a few reasons, the lyrics, its "evolution", and its rhythm. I would go on, but I'll discuss these, since I find these to be the biggest problems I have with this genre. I could say this about any genre of music, but hip hop and rap seem to be the genres where this issue is mostly displayed. From the majority of songs that I've heard, rap and hip hop generally seem to focus on the same topics: violence, gangs, sexism and alcohol or drug use. Of course songs in other genres have some of these elements, and not all hip hop songs contain these elements, but in a general summary, hip hop contains a large variety of songs with at least one of these components. The songs talk about life in "the hood", drug and alcohols of different names, objectifying women, and violence of all sorts. I would like to name a few lyrics from various artists as examples, but they're usually used with large profanity. This whole type of lyrics came into hip hop until recent years, which leads to my next argument. Hip hop's evolution.

Sandford (1857), which help to underline the historical pain the Blacks had to endure both in the past and present. The case of Dred Scott v. Sandford was based on the establishment of racism and political movement on enslavement. Chang, Jeff "Can't Stop Won't Stop" explains the events of (1960–1973) social condition prevailing in New York, especially the South Bronx, in the generation leading up to the birth of hip hop. The impact of the Dred Scott v. Sandford lasted from (1833–1857). Dred Scott was originally from Virginia but resided in both Illinois and Missouri for most of his life. One of the reasons he resided in Illinois, was because it was known as a free state. In 1846, Dred Scott entered the state of Missouri and sued for his freedom in the Missouri Courts; unfortunately it was an unsuccessful attempt. Throughout his life, he continued to challenge the Courts for his freedom, ultimately obtaining freedom in 1857. Dred Scott becoming a free black was the beginning of an American history revolution. Enslavement existed for at least 400 years and some might say that it still exist today but presents itself differently. It has a huge impact on African Americans because living in an anti–black world has an effect on a person's psyche. In addition, African Americans depended on religious songs that were ...

By the early 1990's, organizations began holding raves in the UK at warehouses or in fields, and new genres of house called happy hardcore and jungle became popular. As genres grew, setting up shows became difficult. By 1992, raves in the UK started taking place in licensed venues in order to avoid confrontation with law enforcement. Throughout the 1990's house music took off and new subgenres emerged in the rave scene (Simms).

From what I have learned from watching a documentary on Netflix is that hip–hop consists of: rap, graffiti, break–dancing, and disc jockey. In this paper I will do my best to fully explain how rap became what it is today. The way it emerged in 1970's. There are honestly only two ways I can start off by telling you about what I have learned about where hip–hop came from which no doubt it was DJ Kool Herc but even by telling you that before that the sound that was really popular in New York was disco.

  • 35. The Hip-Hop : The Four Types Of Hip Hop Culture The young men and women of Bronx, New York created the cultural phenomenon called hip hop, because of the changes in the environment during the 1970s. Some of these changes include population diversity, advancement in media technology, changing economy, and the citizens' ideas of their rights. Hip–Hop is a multi–layered art form. It consists of four layers. These four layers are DJing/Beatmaking, break dancing, graffiti, and rapping. Hip–Hop has become a worldwide sensation. It can be found in about every city in the world. For example In countries like Berlin, Barcelona, Paris, Havanna, Rome, and Tokyo the hip–hop culture is embraced. The race of people who are correlated with Hip Hop culture are usually african americans and latin americans. Although many of the people who started the phenomenon fall into those categories, there were also caucasian members who added the momentum of Hip hop. For example Cap who many people consider to be a graffiti artist legend. Diversity was very essential in the making of hip–hop culture. Many people consider diversity to be very helpful in environments. "People work harder, are more creative, and are more diligent when they work with or around a diverse group of people", says Katherine W. Phillips, who is a professor and senior vice dean at Columbia Business School. Companies that put a priority on innovation are worth more when minorities hold top leadership positions. These companies are $44 million more valuable, on average. How is diversity important to the creation of hip hop though? The Bronx was already a diverse area before hip hop. Some of these races included african americans, west indians from anglophone islands, and spanish speaking people from Puerto Rico, Cuba, Honduras, and Panama. After a while many white americans left the Bronx. Now the American born minorities started fusing their culture together. The two races connected specifically by the use of music. Rayman Mantila said " After I got to play the conga drums I had a bunch of friends that were all interested in playing drums, the puerto rican kids in my area....Everybody would go to the roof and play all kind of rhythms." They created beats with the constant sounds of drums. These drum beats ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

As it was stated before, hip–hop became not only a genre of music, but a culture and a movement. People who listen to that music view themselves as more than fans. Hip hop is their life. "(...) the longevity of rap's appeal for young people is firmly linked with the way in which rap can be used as a meaning of engaging with and expressing dissatisfaction at the more restrictive features of everyday life in globally diffuse social settings."

For some people music is like a medicine for the soul. It gives them hope, motivation and a feeling that they are not alone. An artist is able to help others by speaking up about the important issues. That is the foundation of hip–hop music. As DJ Kool Herc, the "creator of hip–hop" stated: "There are a lot of people who are doing something positive, who are doing hip–hop the way it was meant to be done. They are reaching young people, showing them what the world could be– people living together and having fun. But too often, the ones that get the most recognition are the ones emphasizing the negative. And I think a lot of people are scared to speak on issues. "Keeping it real" has become just another fad word. It sounds cute. But it has been pimped and perverted. It ain't about keeping it real. It's got to be about keeping it real. For example, rappers want to be so "bling– bling". Are you really living a luxurious life? Don't you have other issues? What things touch you? That's what we'd like to hear rappers speak about. Start a dialogue with people. Talk about things going on in the neighbourhood." (Chang, 2011, p.12) Home for that genre of music is ghetto.

Later these same beats would be accompanied by "rap", a rhythmic style of chanting poetry which is often presented in 16–bar measures or time frames (Thompson).

Because rap and hip hop are the main types of music listened to in the Black community, it should be noted that the music primarily affects this demographic. The detrimental effects of the lyrics on the community can still be seen today. Rap and hip hop have shaped the culture of the Black community significantly. The glorification of different drugs in rap music across rap in the United States has significantly influenced the lifestyle of the listeners.
