Drake, some people may call him the legend of rap music. Drake released his first album in 2006, and he has been dropping songs ever since. Drake released his hit “God’s Plan” earlier this year, and it blew up. What he decided to do after the release was simply amazing. Drake is an influential role model of generosity and charity through his actions of donating to schools funds, donating to Women in poverty, and funding for school programs. Drake impacted a young woman by donating to her school funds. “After his visit to the high school, Drake, whose given name is Aubrey Graham, went on to the University of Miami, where he surprised a student with a $50,000 scholarship”. Drake donated 50,000 dollars to a girl that couldn’t afford to go to college. With that 50,000 check she used it to get into the college she dreamed of getting into. His act was important because it impacted that girls whole entire life. College is very expensive now a days and that helped her to get through the funding. Also maybe that girl will give back to her community just as Drake did. This is how Drake impacted this young woman. …show more content…

  • Analysis Of J. Cole's 'Love Yourz'

    1212 Words  | 3 Pages

    Rap music has given me personally something to look up to. Not a role model but hope of continuing my dreams because rappers successfully made it. “For what’s money without happiness, or hard times without the people you love” is from a song called “Love Yourz” by J. Cole. He clearly understands how there is “beauty in the struggle and ugliness in the success” because he’s lived that life. Other songs such as “2Face” or “The Autograph” were instantly relatable to me because he has been through several struggles from the beginning of his childhood. Cole’s father left when he was six leaving his mother and younger brother alone. Cole became “the man of the house” but becoming a rapper is not as easy as it seems. Cole’s messages in these two songs are relative because I too, have had several issues with my mother and father creating a sense of lonesome. Hearing music like Coles helped me overcome my

His most commercially successful and loved songs are about the relationships he’s had with a woman. Instead of talking about selling drugs or violent lyrics, Drake raps about his love of women and the relationships he has with him. He talks about the mistakes he’s made in the relationship one song in particular “Sooner than Later” he talks about how he has this girl he loves but let’s her get away from him and doesn’t realize it until she’s gone when he raps, “I forgot to call on your birthday/ You swear you’re the last thing on my mind, yeah/ There

    Adriana sent an application to the LeTrende Education Fund for Homeless Children, a scholarship program administered by the National Association for the Education of Homeless Children and Youth, explaining her story in hopes they would be able to help her. Adriana was eventually awarded a grant from LeTrende to help her out financially with school. Jenn Hecker, the organizing director of the National Student Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness says, “Each year at our national conference, homeless students come forward to share their stories” (Bader pg.694) in hopes they will be given money to cover the costs of housing and food. Hecker “blames rising housing costs to be the reason so many students are becoming homeless” (Bader pg.694). Supporters for the homeless have seen many college students sleeping in their cars and sneaking into the school’s gym to take a shower and change their clothes. One college that is helping out students is San Diego City College. Rosa LaMuraglia, dean of the San Diego City College of Business, Information Technology, and Cosmetology, said, “the campus has taken several steps to help needy and homeless students, including running a pantry for free food and opening the thrift store Fantastique last January.” (The San Diego Union-Tribune, Warth)

With an overbearing confidence and constant media coverage, he is relentless in pushing the boundaries and makes himself known for something far beyond the title of “Rapper.” While constantly regarded as an egotistical tyrant, Kanye is conscious of the self-destructive ideologies that many consume; as expressed thoughtfully in his music.
