Hip Hop part 1

"Rappers Who talk about violence and the streets ate just reflecting the Violent American culture that we live in". I Totally agree with this statement because the rappers these days just rap about what they see and hear about and if all they see and hear is people getting robbed and shot, then that's what their gonna to rap about. And they are going to get paid allot of money for saying they "I pooped this" because the white community Loves stuff like that And white people will try to do the stuff that the rappers rap about and half of the time the rappers never did what they said They just said it because it rhymed with their line. Like I was talking to one of my Friends and we know this white kid who try so hard to be black and he thinks it cool to be in the "Hood" just to say he lived in the hood but that's not a good place to be in. The people in the ghetto Rob and Sell drugs because they have to if they had a job that paid them they would not be robbing people and selling drugs and stuff.The rappers are just telling a story that goes on in their mind and all of them are kinda of the same.

" Every black men that goes into the studio, he's always got two people in his head: a pimp, in terms of who he really is and the thug that he feeks he has to project. It's a prison for us.. It's a prison we're in." This qoute relates to my satements i made in perviosevly passage above, because in realtily the rapper who talk's about I'll kill you and your family is not really gonna do anything rap music is just a bluff on what they see in movies and what the people on the block tell them. But their is some people who do the stuff they rap about. And every rapper these days are A "Mack Daddy" and make songs about how their goona to have sex with them and call them all types of b words. And the Thug type every rapper makes a "Goon" song about how they got into somthing and end up using a gun to slove it. But all hip hop isnt like that though.

media sterotypes

For the last two days we watch two different videos about how men and females are exploded in ads. In the first video was about how girls are mistreated and used to sell products with their bodies (sex sells). And yesterday we watch a video on how the media have such an effluence on how boys and men act violently. The Two videos well to me were sexist and unaccreacted. With the first video the lady would pull up a picture of a little girl with a little boy and she said that it was degrading because the boy was “playing the tough boy roll”. Most of the stuff she said I didt agree with. And the video yesterday was the opposite it had to do with how young men are influenced by violent movies, games and lifestyles. And he went on to say how movies have some part to do with the school shootings they showed. And how black people have a certain roll. Like the way they walk the way they talk as he called it “gangster mentality “. He was stereotyping the different races. For example he said that the white young boys are most likely to shoot up a school and a black person is more likely to rob a liquor store .The two videos did have some similarities though, even though I thought that lady was sexist she did have a good point. Because females are always half naked on TV adds I know if I was a female I would hate watching that. Because when I saw that Calvin Klein adds I couldn't’t look. But Like I said in the begging Sex Sells. And the companies that make the ads are going to keep making money because of Horny comusters. And I do agree with the man when he said everywhere we go we see violent adds or movies. The similarities between theses two movies are that they are both trying to defend they point how one the media degrade males and females and have a big enfulce on the teens growing up who watch and do everything they see on the TV. But these videos are more different then similar. And I think that them two people who did that video should hook up because they both have strong opines about degrading media. But they should though.
