My research paper will compare a song called “Poetic Justice” by Kendrick Lamar and a poem called “Poor Girl” by Maya Angelou. I chose “Poetic Justice” because i like the song in general and i believe that the song has good meaning and is not like traditional rap music. The lyrics to my song are;
[Intro]
Every second, every minute, man I swear that she can get it
Say if you a bad b***t put your hands up high, hands up high, hands up high
Tell 'em dim the lights down right now, put me in the mood
I'm talking 'bout dark room, perfume
Go, go!

[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
I recognize your fragrance (hol' up!)
You ain't never gotta say s**t (uh!)
And I know your taste is
A little bit (mmm) high maintenance (uh)
Everybody else basic
You live life on an everyday basis
With poetic justice, poetic justice
If I told you that a flower bloomed in a dark room, would you trust it?
I mean I write poems in these songs dedicated to you when
You're in the mood for empathy, there's blood in my pen
Better yet, where your friends and them?
I really wanna know you all
I really wanna show you off f**k that, pour up plenty of champagne
Cold nights when you curse this name
You called up your girlfriends and
Y'all curled in that little bitty Range I heard that
She wanna go and party, she wanna go and party
Ni**a, don't approach her with that Atari
Ni**a, that ain't good game, homie, sorry
They say conversation rule a nation, I can tell
But I could never right my wrongs
'less I write it down for real, P.S

[Hook x2: Kendrick Lamar]
You can get it, you can get it
You can get it, you can get it
And I know just, know just, know just, know just, know just what you want
Poetic justice, put it in a song

[Verse 2: Drake]
I really hope you play this
Cause ol' girl you test my patience
With all these seductive photographs and all these one off vacations
You've been taking
Clearly a lot for me to take in
It don't make sense
Young East African Girl, you too

    In this essay I will be comparing the differences and similarities between Tupac Amaru Shakur and Christopher Wallace also knows as “Biggie” who both are male rappers and reined a pretty short but yet famous mid 90’s career in the music industry. I first would start off with Notorious B.I.G and his differences from Tupac. Biggie is from Brooklyn, NY, he was the only child raised by his mother Voletta Wallace, who lived in the poverty-stricken projects of Brooklyn. Biggie took to his surroundings at young age by transporting and selling drugs and also raising his daughter who he didn’t get to see much. After an incident that involved him and his friend, Biggie was spared by his friends loyalty to him by taking the fall for felony gun and drug charges; which then drove Biggie to put his all into his music and then caused him to meet his soon to be manger/business partner/best friend/ Sean Comb also knows as Puff Daddy and many various names.…

    My topic is over how parents are becoming overwhelmingly obsessed with their children's sports teams. Parents are getting in verbal and physical fights over unfair calls against their child or their child’s team. One coach reports, “She was pitching out there and all of a sudden she broke down crying,” when the coach asked her what was wrong she said, “My dad is embarrassing me to death.” The child, like many others, had a father who spent much of his time during the game yelling and screaming at coaches, and at members of opposing teams. Why are parents so obsessed with their children’s sports? What effect does this have on the child?…

    The author’s final plea for the acceptance of rap as true poetry is to clear the misconception to all rap music revolves around stereotypically “gansta” lyrics, violence, and misogyny. The “gangsta” style is just one niche of music, “and less dominant than it once was. Rap, considered as a literature rather than it’s top selling hits, addresses a wide range of topics, even including science fiction.” (20) McWhorter mentions Jay Z, whose “magesterial volume of this lyrics” proves that rap can have an intelligent, meaningful message.…

    For this assignment, I am choosing to compare two different genres of music; Jam band music, and Rap. In my opinion, these two genre are on totally different ends of the musical spectrum. Bands like the Grateful Dead and Phish draw their inspirations from other genres like rock, folk, funk, jazz, and bluegrass and from the idea of improvising musically with each other on stage. On the other hand, most rap styles of music draws its message from popular culture, often drugs, and gang related activities. The following links go to two songs, one by the Grateful dead, the other by rapper Kodak Black. Just by listening to the two songs you can tell a significant difference in composition, and message.…

    Music Lyrics being NON-VIOLENT Rap music can be considered a style of art, and a way for the artists to express feelings through their words on paper. However, there are quite a few rap artists that get criticized for their lyrics. In my essay, I want to discuss why rappers use certain lyrics in their music and why people shouldn’t believe that it causes violence among the younger generations. People shouldn’t censor the music just because of violent, vulgar and abusive messages it promotes to the world. I believe in my own mind, that there is a reason for these types of lyrics that rap artists use and I will simply explain those reasons in this essay. Rap has been called one of the most important music forces to emerge in two decades. It’s pounding beats and staccato rhymes exploded on the streets of the urban America in the early 1980s and since have become the theme music and lyrical heart of the vibrant youth culture called hip-hop ( SIRS 1993). There are many different types of rap artist. There are some that talk about money, some talk about righteousness, and the list goes on and on. Every rap artist had their own way of expressing themselves. There are those that talk about sex, drugs, and violence who receive the negative attention( SIRS 1993). People, think this so- called gangster rap is a bad influence on children in the world and that it promotes violence and that it also is abusive to women. Delores Tucker, head of national congress of black women has been among those pressuring different record companies to stop distributing gangster rap music. There were other significant names that participated in this action. Names like Senate Majority leader Bob dole, and former education Secretary William J. Bennett(Surveys, pg. 1). There are some rap artists that have been openly criticized for their lyrics. Rappers like Lil Kim, Too Short, Snoop Doggy Dogg, and a member from “Too Live Crew,” named Luke Skywalker. These rap artists in the past have been…
