Reggae music originated in Jamaica in the late 1960s, developing from ska, mento and R&B styles. It is characterized by an off-beat rhythmic style known as the skank. In the 1970s, Bob Marley and Peter Tosh produced iconic reggae songs like "Buffalo Soldier" that helped spread Jamaican music internationally. Over time, reggae incorporated influences from dancehall and became more focused on themes of dancing, violence and sexuality in its lyrics rather than social issues.

Final Paper
Castrati were male singers who were castrated before puberty to retain their high singing voices. They were prized for their ability to sing both male and female roles in churches and opera houses where women were banned from singing. At its peak, thousands of boys were castrated annually to become castrati, though the procedure was dangerous. Castrati gained fame and fortune as celebrated singers throughout Europe in the 17th-18th centuries. However, their popularity declined in the 19th century as social attitudes changed and the rise of the romantic tenor voice made castration unnecessary. The last castrato sang in the early 20th century.

Research Paper on Hip-hop Culture
The “hip-hop culture” has infused popular culture in an extraordinary fashion. As a result of its massive cross-over appeal, the hip-hop culture is a hypothetically great unifier of various populations. Even though created by black youth on the streets, hip-hop's influence has turned out to be worldwide. About 75 in a hundred of the rap and hip-hop audience is non-black. It has gone from the fringes, to the outskirts, and now into the commercial boardrooms. Undeniably, Coca Cola, Nike, McDonald's, Sprite, and other corporate giants have exploited on this hip hop culture phenomenon. Although criticizers of the rap music and the hip hop culture appeared to be consumed with the messages of violence, sex, and harsh language, this category of music offers us an example of what can be done. The capacity of this art form to transform ethnic relations is significant. In the 1950s and the 1960s the “Beat Culture” questioned the status quo in ways that integrated liberals and provoked change. In the same manner, the hip-hop culture has confronted the system in approaches that have brought together individuals (particularly the youth) across a wide-range ethnic spectrum (Watkins, 1998).
Currently, hip-hop/rap is the fastest emergent music genre in the United States, representing more than 10% of the $12.3 billion music sales in the year 1998. Rap music has turned out to be the cornerstone of the hip-hop culture. The general hip hop culture has been recognized by this musical art form. The language (street slang), dressing (baggy pants, expensive sneakers, caps worn backwards), and style of the hip-hop culture have all developed from rap music.
To illustrate the widespread popularity of rap, in line with Soundscan, an enterprise in the Hartsdale, N.Y. that scrutinizes music sales, at the end of the year 1998, 9 out of the 15 albums that were on the pop chart were rap. At the end of the same year, 3 of the top retailing albums were rap performances: Outkast, Jay Z, and A Tribe Call Quest. As stated by Neil Strauss, rap is substituting rock and roll as the supreme genre of music among the youth. 10 years ago, in the environs you heard teenagers talking about music from such rock artists as the Van Halen, Byrds, the Eagles, Doors, and Guns `N' Roses. At present, youths are exploding rap music from such artist as Outkast and Jay Z.
DJ Hollywood, Busy Bee Starski, and DJ Afrika Bambaataa (forefather of the Zulu Nation in the New York) are the three New York artistes who have been recognized for coining the phrase “hip hop”. This genre instigated in the`70s with rhythmic beats resonating at base.
Gangsta Rap Pioneer
Gangsta rap pioneer Dr. Dre was born in 1965 in Compton, California and grew up mostly with his mother after his parents split up. He showed musical talent from a young age and got a music mixer for Christmas in 1984, soon turning his home into a studio. He joined the rap group World Class Wreckin' Cru and helped pioneer the gangsta rap genre with his album The Chronic in 1992. Today he is known as a king of hip hop who gives back through philanthropic efforts and shares his wisdom and experience with younger generations.
Soul Trader
Eric Soul is a London-based DJ and cultural activist from Rwanda who founded Wahala TV and Afrogroov to promote contemporary African music. Through his show Wahala, Eric highlights African artists blending traditional sounds with modern influences. His goal is to document the evolution of African music and shift perceptions of African heritage. Afrogroov started as a club night mixing African styles with urban genres like hip hop and has grown into a collective behind Wahala that aims to give economic relevance to African music and bust stereotypes. Eric believes interest in new African music represents a cultural shift as people become less in denial of African identity.
Kanye West Influence On Hip Hop
Kanye West had a significant influence on changing hip hop music. Before Kanye, hip hop mainly consisted of gangster rap that focused on gangs, drugs, sex and portrayed a lifestyle many people couldn't relate to. Kanye's album "The College Dropout" demonstrated that hip hop could have more socially conscious lyrics that were relatable to a wider audience. This helped make hip hop more mainstream and opened it up to a larger fan base beyond just those living "in the 'hood'." Kanye proved that hip hop didn't need to be solely about an abrasive gangster lifestyle to be popular or interesting.
Hip Hop Cultural Movement
Hip hop originated in the South Bronx in the late 1970s as both a cultural movement and music genre. It began among the economically depressed African American communities as a way for youth to express themselves through rap music, dancing, and graffiti art. In the mid-1980s, acts like Run-DMC brought hip hop into the mainstream by fusing rap with rock music. However, "gangsta rap" in the 1990s led to criticisms that hip hop promoted violence, criminal behavior, sexism, and drug use. Studies have found a relationship between the popularity of rap music, especially references to marijuana, and increased marijuana use among teenagers.

Humanities Final Presentation
- 1. THE BATTLE RAP EVENT NORTHWEST MANIA III By Nick Leonard
- 2. BATTLE RAP IS A FORM OF HIP HOP COMPETITION THAT INVOLVES TWO RAPPERS GOING HEAD TO HEAD LYRICALLY. WHAT IS BATTLE RAP THE RAPPERS TAKE TURNS CLEVERLY INSULTING ONE ANOTHER AND BRAGGING ABOUT THEMSELVES, STRICTLY USING FREESTYLE OR PRE- WRITTEN RAPS THAT THEY HAVE CREATED. BATTLE RAP CAN ALSO BE PRESENTED IN RECORDED SONGS. RAPPERS WILL OFTEN CREATE “DISS TRACKS”, WHICH ATTEMPT TO OUT RAP AND MAKE FUN OF AN OPPOSING HIP HOP ARTIST.
- 3. WHY I CHOSE A BATTLE RAP EVENT I HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED BATTLE RAP AND I HAD FOLLOWED IT FOR MUCH OF MY LIFE. OVER THE PAST FIVE TO TEN YEARS, BATTLE RAP HAS EVOLVED INTO SOMETHING FAR DIFFERENT FROM WHAT I HAD GROWN UP EXPERIENCING AND I WAS INTERESTED TO SEE WHAT EXACTLEY IT HAD BECOME. SOME OF MY FRIENDS PARTICIPATE IN BATTLE RAP AND TWO OF THEM WERE COMPETING AT THIS EVENT. THIS WAS A GREAT OPPURTUNITY FOR ME TO WITNESS THEIR TALENTS LIVE AND CATCH UP ON AN OLD INTEREST OF MINE.
- 4. BACKGROUND OF BATTLE RAP BATTLE RAP IS BELIEVED TO HAVE ORIGINATED ON THE EAST COAST IN THE LATE THE 1970S. ONE OF THE FIRST WELL-KNOWN BATTLES TOOK PLACE IN 1982 BETWEEN KOOL MOE DEE AND BUSY BEE. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, AMATEUR FREESTYLE BATTLES AND FAMOUS RAPPERS RECORDING BATTLE SONGS STARTED GAINING POPULARITY. BATTLE RAP SURGED IN THE LATE 1990S AND EARLY 2000S DUE TO POPULAR FREESTYLE BATTLE RAP EVENTS SUCH AS SCRIBBLE JAM, WHICH HOSTED UP-AND-COMING RAPPERS SUCH AS EMINEM, EYEDEA, JUICE, BROTHER ALI, AND SAGE FRANCIS.
- 5. BATTLE RAP 2005-PRESENT AROUND 2005, BATTLE RAP EVENTS STARTED CHANGING THEIR TRADITIONAL FORMAT. RAPPERS BEGAN USING PRE-WRITTEN MATERIAL, AS OPPOSED TO FREESTYLE RAPS, WHICH HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN USED IN ALMOST ALL ORGANIZED RAP BATTLES. RAPPERS WERE ALSO NOW REQUIRED TO RAP WITHOUT A BEAT PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND.
- 6. THE EVENT THE EVENT TOOK PLACE AT THE CENTRAL SALOON IN PIONEER SQUARE. IT BEGAN WITH THE UNDERCARD. THIS WAS THREE BATTLES WITH SIX INEXPERIENCED BATTLERS TRYING TO GET THEIR FEET WET, AND THEY ALL SEEMED EXTREMLEY NERVOUS. THESE FIRST THREE BATTLES WERE A LITTLE UNDERWHEMLMING, BUT AS THE EVENT PROGRESSED THE TALENT LEVELS BEGAN TO INCREASE.
- 7. NEXT UP WAS THE CO-MAIN EVENT, WHICH CONSISTED OF THREE MORE BATTLES. THESE BATTLERS WERE FAR MORE EXPERIENCED THAN THE UNDERCARD PARTICIPANTS. THE BATTLE BETWEEN AM AND ILL ES WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE CO-MAIN EVENT. BOTH RAPPERS CAME VASTLY PREPARED AND APPEARED TO BE VETERANS IN THE BATTLE RAP SCENE. THE CROWD WENT WILD WITH CHEERS AFTER EVERY CLEVER PUNCHLINE THEY DELIVERED, AND THIS BATTLE DEFINITLY SET THE TONE FOR THE REST OF THE EVENING.
- 8. AFTER A THIRTY MINUTE BREAK, THE MAIN EVENT BEGAN. THESE WERE THE FINAL THREE BATTLES OF THE NIGHT, AND THE VENUE WAS NOW COMPLETLEY FULL THESE WERE SOME OF THE MOST SKILLED BATTLE RAPPERS IN THE NORTHWEST AND THEY WERE ALL EXTREMLEY IMPRESSIVE. THEIR STAGE PRESENCE DEMANDED RESPECT AND THEIR LYRICAL TALENTS WERE LIGHT-YEARS AHEAD OF WHAT I HAD SEEN WITH THE UNDERCARD. HIPNOSIS VS DRE VISHISS WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE MAIN EVENT. THIS BATTLE HAD THE ENTIRE VENUE ERUPTING IN ROARS, CHEERS AND LAUGHTER WITH ONE ARTICULATE LINE AFTER ANOTHER.
- 9. CULTURAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SYMBOLS THE BATTLE RAP CULTURE IS A PREDOMINANTLY MASCULINE MALE CULTURE. ALTHOUGH WOMEN ARE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE, ONLY A SELECT FEW CHOOSE TO. THE BATTLE RAP CULTURE IS LEARNED. SIMILAR SETS OF VOCABULARY WERE COMMONLY USED BY THE RAPPERS AND AUDIENCE MEMBERS. WORDS SUCH AS, “BARS!’ AND “FACTS!”, WERE OFTEN YELLED OUT AMIDST THE BATTLES. A CULTURAL SYMBOL AT THIS EVENT WAS GOLD TEETH, OR A ”GRILL”. GOLD TEETH HAVE HISTORICALLY REPRESENTED A PERSON’S STATUS IN SOCIETY, AND TODAY THIS SYMBOL SEEMS TO BE HEAVILY INCORPORATED WITH THE BATTLE RAP CULTURE.
- 10. THIS WAS A GREAT EVENT, AND I HOPE THAT ONE DAY EVERYONE WILL GET THE OPPURTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE THE UNIQUE AND TALENTED BATTLE RAP CULTURE.
