As of late‚ Hip-hop’s focus has been moving towards portraying a particular image rather than a meaningful message as it was done in the past. Hip-hop’s progression can be put in better terms by the rapper Mos Def‚ in the song “Fear Not of Man” when he says‚ “Where is hip hop going? If you want to know where hip hop is going‚ ask yourself‚ where am I going?” (Drisana 2011). This means that the music and images being shown publicly are based on the likes of the public.

When faced with the decision of which pop song really stood out to me during my youth and adolescent years‚ the song “Lose Yourself” by Eminem immediately came across my mind. From listening to this song during soccer game warm ups‚ to quietly being indulged in my own headphones while studying for high school exams‚ this song was like no other in my ITunes library.
