    Lil Wayne Research Paper

    A game-changing artist and an impervious celebrity, Lil Wayne began as his career as a near-novelty — a preteen delivering hardcore hip-hop — but through years of maturation and reinventing the mixtape game, he developed into a million-selling rapper with a massive body of work, one so inventive and cunning that it makes his famous claim of being the “best rapper alive” worth considering. Born Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. and raised in the infamous New Orleans neighborhood of Hollygrove, he was a straight-A student but never felt his true intelligence was expressed through any kind of report card. He found music was the best way to express himself, and after taking the name Gangsta D he began writing rhymes. Combining a strong work ethic with aggressive…

    Rhetorical Analysis Of Reggae By Richard Mcbride

    From a broad perspective, the primary reason, as to why McBride gives that question its own paragraph, is that he strives to underscore the momentous implications of the posed rhetorical question. Delving deeper into the specifics, he essentially exhorts the audience to capture the essence of the vast role that hip hop has played, throughout the course of history, in coalescing the African American community. Evidence from the text that further bolsters this claim is shown when the author states, “Today, 2 percent of the Earth's adult population owns more than 50 percent of its household wealth, and indigenous cultures are swallowed with the rapidity of a teenager gobbling a bag of potato chips. The music is calling. Over the years, the instruments…

You believe that hip-hop is music that defines our society in so many ways.…

    The Stereotypes Of Rap

    Although frequently demonized by many, rap tackles various significant themes outside of its stereotypes of being overly explicit and violent. From Kendrick Lamar reflecting on the loss of a close friend in “u” to Chance the Rapper recounting the difficulties of growing up in his neighborhood in “Summer Friends”, various rap artists often describe personal life events or issues. Listening to their music through my earphones enlightened me on the series of unheard struggles that occur outside the relatively blissful bubble of my own life. I enjoyed R&B for the mellow flow and the soulful vocals that merged to form music that often felt like an audible daydream. R&B also tackled various themes often involving love and relationships, which can be found in songs such as Frank Ocean’s “Thinkin Bout You” in which Ocean reminisces the feelings he had with an ex-lover or Bryson Tiller’s “Don’t” in which Tiller narrates his own shortcomings in a relationship through the perspective of someone…
