The student chose hip-hop/rap as their genre of focus. They enjoy listening to rap music and appreciate the lyrics and interesting backgrounds of artists like Notorious B.I.G. and Eminem. A source article described how hip-hop and electronic music combine attributes at a concert. The author called hip-hop a very intellectual genre, conveying messages through soul. In additional research, the student agreed with a point that rap allows the most creative artists, as rap lyrics can be very interesting spoken word poetry with rhythm.
2. Genre
I decided to do Hip-Hop/Rap as my genre. I
choose this genre as I don’t just like listening to
the music, but also because I like he lyrics and
the artists.
Compared the very popular new popular genres
like electronic dance music, Indie and pop, rap
lyrics are different. They talk about the real life,
and how the world isn’t just perfect, like pop and
other up-beat genres are like.
I also find the artists a lot more interesting, as
they all have very interesting backgrounds, like
Notourious B.I.G and Eminem.
3. Book Research
This Page from the source
magazine describes a concert at
Hard Rock Hotel in Palm Springs.
The text explain how Hip-Hop and
Electronic music mix together,
and combine their best attributes.
The author Courtney Brown
described Hip-Hop as a very
intellectual genre.
She said that Hip-Hop songs all
have a kind of soul, which is
another way of saying that Hip-
Hop is not just very active in the
way that it adapts, and is always
changing, but also that Hip-Hop is
trying to convey a message.
4. Web Research
I came across a text, which
explained why out of the
authors point of view, rap is
the best genre, and I agree
with many of his points.
For example he said that
rap is the genre, where the
artists can be most creative.
I do agree that Rap lyrics
(by good rappers) are
always very intressting. Rap
is basically spoken word
poetry with a rhystem in the
back ground. I am not
saying that every rapper is
also a poet, but there is
defenitly more to the lyrics
then in other genres.
