Hip-Hop Is No Longer Than Me

Is everyone entitled to his or her opinion, even though it might be wrong? Sometimes, what people might say may not make any sense at all. If you call them out on their personal opinions, they will say, “It is my opinion, and that's all that matters.” In Paul Kix’s article “Hip-Hop Is No Longer Cooler than Me,” he states his opinion about the fact that Hip-Hop has lost its value and coolness. In his view, Hip-Hop used to mean something. Nowadays people just rap about nonsense. Kix’s own personal view of hip-hop is his opinion, but other people might totally differently. However, in Joan Ryan’s article “We Are Not Created Equal in Every Way,” she like Kix are subjective. In this piece Ryan explains how everyone is created differently, and

But for me, the more disturbing issue is this story isn’t about weight but age” (83). Ryan believes that Fredrika is too young to be going through all this trouble, but Keefer thinks otherwise. Ryan is showing the mother is not thinking about the child well-being, but the daughters success only, which is wrong. A mother has to think about every aspect of a child’s life. On the other hand, Kix shows how Hip-Hop has lost its value. Some people might think Hip-Hop has changed for the best, in Kix’s view Hip-Hop has changed for the worst. Kix states, “Look, I’m not confused or annoyed by hip-hop, like older rock
