Hip-hop music came about through people who lived in dangerous streets or faced some difficulty in America and is representative of different kinds of culture, impacting numerous things after its conception and popularization. Emmett G. Price III states about hip-hop culture: “During the 1960s and 1970s — as the streets of New York City erupted in violence, social decay, and economic demise — young, multiethnic, inner-city kids devised their own solution to the traumatic challenges that they continually faced” (Price). Some teenagers unified the preexisting elements of rapping, graffiti, dancing, and deejaying, creating an alternative to the hopelessness they found and ...

The time that I attribute a hip-hop dance is when I attended an overnight club with my friends.

White rappers can draw audiences to the genre of rap and black artists, introducing white people to an entire new experience with black culture. However, getting those in ...

X-ray Reading

X-ray Reading Figure 1 The patient in this x-ray image is centred with both lungs apices. The image has also captured the costophrenic angles but some of the bones are invisible in the picture.

Elvis Presley’s Impact on Popular Music

Elvis Presley 1935 - 1977 Introduction Music researchers seem to form two extremes in their placement of Elvis Presley in the history of popular music. One extreme pinpoints Elvis Presley as a turning point in the course of popular music and the other regards him as just another musician, one that happened to be in the right place at the right time. The truth probably lies somewhere in between. It is true that Elvis was not the first white musician to authentically perform African American music (Birnbaum, 2013: vii). But it is also true that his undeniable talent, ...

The Hip-hop culture has embraced these misogynistic and exploitative practices against women. On the contrary, some women rappers have come out ...
