    For my Project Learning Summary I chose to focus on two people and one movement that I believe have a strong impact on society today. Each of the topics has had an influence during their respective eras, and each proved that their work has gone onto make changes in the world as we see it today. I first looked at Darwin, for his work on natural selection and the significance it has had on science and religion. I then took another look at Booker T. Washington, and how his stance on integration of African Americans into a “white” society was at the end of slavery and what his efforts have done since. Lastly, I looked at the Feminist Movement and the efforts that were taken for improving equality as a whole in society.

    Vanilla Ice is a prime example of a young man who became part of the hip hop community. The clothing he wore and the songs he wrote may have reflected an insult to the black hip hop community. However, the white community became happy and excited to see a thriving white rapper. Many members of the black society were offended and disgusted by the clothes worn by Vanilla Ice. They were not used to seeing another race expressing his emotion through rap lyrics. The change in the state of mind for black and white members of the hip hop community were beginning to alter. It was remarkable to learn about the different perspectives black and white members, however to learn about the acceptance of one another was outstanding.

  • History Of Hip Hop: Christmas Rapping

    1216 Words  | 3 Pages

    One main artist that comes to mind is Kurtis Blow. Kurtis is from Harlem, New York. The motherlands of hip hop itself. “Blow” is the first rapper to be signed by a major label. Blow’s number 1 album that got him to where he is today is called Christmas Rapping. “I’ve recorded over two hundred songs and I have never used profanity and I always thought that was just me trying to have some dignity” (Kurtis Blow Biography). This quote represents to me the description of what Hip Hop really is. Although hip hop is filled with passion and emotion, curse words can still be avoided. When you put curse words into rap, I feel that to society, it degrades that song. Hip hop is a way how people express themselves. Putting cursing into a song also limits your listeners and can be a big impact on getting your name out globally. What Kurtis Blow did was open up an alley for the African American community to get their voices heard. Putting curse words into you rhymes may sound bad and inappropriate for everybody to hear. But according to a certain west side group, they thought otherwise on the subject. A hip hop rap group, from the hood of Compton, California, named NWA (Niggaz Wit Attitudes) is known for bringing cursing and gangster violence into their songs. NWA changed the game of hip hop in multiple ways, all the way down to the fashion of their era. According to the article NWA, it states “the double-platinum album Straight Outta Compton, N.W.A brought gangsta rap into the mainstream. The record was among the first to offer an insider's perspective of the violence and brutality of gang-ridden South Central L.A. With songs like "Fuck tha Police" and "Gangsta Gangsta" set in a chaotic swirl of siren and gunshot sounds, it also foreshadowed the 1992 L.A. riots” (Simon & Schuster

    Rock ‘n’ roll and 20th Century Culture According to Philip Ennis, rock ‘n’ roll emerged from the convergence of social transformations which resulted from World War II (Ryan 927). Despite its pop culture origins, rock music is arguably one of the strongest cultural factors to develop in this century. Artists such as Lennon, McCartney and Dylan defined the emotions of a generation and, in the last decade, it as even been acknowledged by members of the establishment which it hoped to change as a major influence in the country. In order to understand how rock went from a sign of rebellion to a cultural icon, it is necessary to understand where it came from.

    In the 1990’s there was a struggle to define America and there was a huge difference from America politics and culture. The main issues that were being focused on and heavily debated were abortion, gun policies, separation of church and state, recreational drugs, privacy, censorship and homosexuality (Nelson Tran, Cultural Wars of 1990’s). The public school curriculum was also being debated in the 1990’s. Society started to divide and group up depending on what there believes were. The groups are definite mostly by moral world views, rather than by religion, ethnicity, social class, or even political affiliation. The cultural wars had major impacts on national politics in the United States in the 1990’s. All of these issues during the time may have caused then-President George H.W.

  • Hip Hop and the Minority Culture

    ...s also the time where hip hop represented the minority culture to the fullest extent. This was the first point in time that hip represented minorities who entire existence was surround by the culture. In the two decades prior people who indulged in the hip hop culture had spent at least a portion of their lives without the culture, therefore it did not have a total effect on their lives. This is why older hip was very sample oriented. The 1990’s still used samples to structure the music, but in a more creative way that utilized many aspects of music rather than jus the break beat in a song. This is also when the culture became the most prominent and had the most influence on mainstream America. Hip Hop allowed minorities in the 1990’s to improve their situation and embrace their inner beauty instead of being stagnated by the oppressive nature of the United States.
