2. Online article
Fresh off the release of his mix tape Starvation II, Ace Hood stopped
by “106 & Park” to drop off the video for his Mike WiLL Made It-
produced single “Bugatti” featuring Future and Rick Ross. The
YMCMB affiliate raps in front of a red Bugatti with his team
including DJ Khaled and Birdman.
“I feel like Starvation II has been my best mix tape,” said Ace. “It has
the best reviews of any mix tape that I’ve ever dropped. It’s some of
the realest stuff that I’ve ever put out in my life, so I’m proud of it.”
This summer, Ace will release his fourth studio album Trials &
Tribulations.
3. After reading this small article I realized how this article targets its audience thru
language. The target audience is a young one which listens to rap and hip-hop.
The writer of this article used some slang words to attract his audience.
For example instead of saying new, it says fresh.
Instead of saying released, it says dropped.
There are also expressions like ‘real stuff’.
To understand this article you need a lot of inside knowledge and also know what slang
is.
For example old people wouldn’t understand this article at all and they wouldn’t know
who all these people are.

6. I looked at an short article from the internet and at two interviews of different rap
artists.
I did this because this is how I want to make my double page spread. The text will be
about a new mix tape and I will write a short article about it, which gives all the relevant
information ( release date, who is involved, etc.).
Then I will move straight into an interview with two rap artists and ask them all about
the new album.
The way they are going to answer will be very similar to the two interviews and the
reason for that is, that it should be authentic and when people read it they should think
that it is real and not something I made up.
