Recommended: The influences of rap

Since the beginning of time, people have been obsessed with Indian Punjabi Rap. It is obvious that Yo Yo Honey Singh is undoubtedly the epitome of perfection in that field. The question is, how does an artist with so much potential and with such an impact on the majority of the world population (Indians, NRIs, White people pretending to like Bhangra (cit)) go 10 years in the music industry without getting the accolades he deserves? I will attempt to answer this question through this paper.
Wikipedia tells us that Honey Singh is the best singer in India.() His songs have impacted the world like no other and have changed the way we dress and act. ()My best friend’s 6 year old brother loves wearing baggy pants and bejewelled glasses, which is a direct result of listening to Honey Singh’s …show more content…

As we all are well aware, the Illuminati has high profile members, such as Jay-Z, Daler Mehndi, Leonardo da Vinci, the drummer from One Direction, Paris Hilton’s dog and the ghost of TuPac who are heavily involved in decisions that shape the course of world history, including selecting Grammy nominations and winners. They have confessed to being insecure of Yo Yo’s immense talent () and have thus engineered a devious stratagem, spanning the globe to ensure that YoYo is kept from his ultimate goal. If we look at it from this angle, everything can be explained-his falling album sales, the bad publicity he gets, his increasing drug use and his HIV positive diagnosis.
We can therefore conclude that in spite of being a godlike entity who inspires humankind with his music, Yo Yo is being thwarted at every step in his quest to obtain the status of a Grammy winner by a vindictive network that uses prejudice to deny him his fundamental right as a musician par excellence. It may compromise a reality of Kafka-esque creatures that abstemiously and additionally include a rescinding

  • Analysis Of 'Kanye West'

    2063 Words  | 5 Pages

    I was so interested in the truth that I suspended my assumptions about West as I pursued more information through research, giving me an objective lens. It truly rattled me to have been so wrong in my assumptions, it felt weird to know that because of something I didn’t know, I had believed something. It genuinely shook my self-confidence. I really prided myself on my knowledge of Hip-Hop, I thought I knew all the classic albums, how could I have overlooked this one for so long? So, jolted by this sting of self embarrassment, I searched further, I wanted to know what else I had been oblivious to. It became increasingly clearer to me that there were two completely opposite views about Kanye, the more popular view: he’s a worthless egotistical pop star, who’s created nothing of value, and, as I was shocked to learn over time, the informed view, and the truth, that he was and is one the most influential artists of the 21’st

  • Research Paper On Cab Calloway

    1734 Words  | 4 Pages

    He was the first jazz artist to sell over one million copies of a single record – “Minnie the Moocher” – and he went on to record many albums. Cab made an average of $50,000 a year, even during the middle of the Great Depression when so many people were out of work and poor. He invented a new form of jazz singing, “scatting,” and ended up doing what he had always dreamed of: being an entertainer and seeing the smiles on peoples faces everyday. Perhaps more importantly, he changed the music industry by proving black entertainers could perform before white audiences. In these ways and others, modern black hip-hop and jazz artists owe a debt of gratitude to Cab Calloway.

    1015 Words  | 3 Pages

    Paul, Minnesota University, Banfield informs students of Rhythm and Blues' history and how it came to be from unsung musicians who innovated the sound during the end of World War II to its involvement with Hip-Hop. Its sub-genres include Doo-Wop, Soul, Funk, Dance and Disco that are credited for evolving the music's five decade reign on the charts. Along with artists such as The Temptations, Sam Cooke, James Brown, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Bobby Womack and Isaac Hayes who gave this music its raw energy and prowess to define an era of racial tension and the need for change. From the late 60's to the early 70's, Rhythm and Blues brought out a gritty sound to shout for a need to change by giving a voice to those who want change to happen. According to his book, Representing Black Music Culture: Then, Now, and When Again? Banfield talks about the “the rise and (he argues) the fall of black music from the early 1960s to the present.

    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.

  • Changing Themes in the Art of Rap

    1806 Words  | 4 Pages

    It is a day in the summer of 1974 on the block of 1520 Sedgwick Avenue, Bronx, NY. The grass is blazing, the air is fresh, and the kids are shrieking with joy. This is where it happened. DJ Kool Herc popped in his new record playing smooth rhythms of jazz and blues with the integration of Jamaican sound creating a new genre that would soon sweep the nation. He called it Hip-Hop. Some would call it “black noise”, but to urban African Americans it was music they could own; music they could learn to appreciate and adore. As they faced afflictions like racism, oppression, drugs, and much more, they used this new found hip- hop to express their thoughts and feelings. Today, we try to understand where this passion and substance in rap has escaped; if it was left to wither in the blazing grass, or blow away in the fresh air. Today, we try to understand what is hip hop, and why it’s becoming the “black noise” we once denied it to be. Ever since rap officially emerged in the 1970s, critics had a negative reaction; even when rap had meaning and substance and consisted of people telling their stories. Now that rap has become more contemptuous, critics have began to question what rap is really about. It is clear themes have changed: But at what point? And how? Furthermore, how has this impacted blacks and their image, who dominate the rap industry. Conclusively, while themes in mid 20th century rap have been known to revolve around aspects like politics and unity, currently rap has underwent a dramatic change now producing themes that promote violence, among many other things, and has ultimately painted a negative image of African Americans.

  • Th Future of Hip Hop

    1612 Words  | 4 Pages

    From its conception in the 1970's and throughout the 1980's, hip hop was a self-contained entity within the community that created it. This means that all the parameters set for the expression came from within the community and that it was meant for consumption by the community. Today, the audience is from outside of the community and doesn’t share the same experiences that drive the music. An artists’ success hinges on pleasing consumers, not the community. In today's world, it isn’t about music that rings true for those who share the artists' experiences, but instead, music that provides a dramatic illusion for those who will never share the experiences conveyed. This has radically changed the creative process of artists and the diversity of available music. Most notably, it has called in to question the future of hip hop.

  • Biography Of Malcolm X

    963 Words  | 2 Pages

    It goes without saying that hip-hop has changed. It began as a social practice of African-centered liberation to transform the black community or bring the youth together in unity, but towards the 90’s and onto the hip-hop scene in todays day and age, it is anything but that. The youth of today will know Tupac Shakur and beautify or streamline his self-destructive “thug life” but remain in the dark of figures like Mutulu and Afeni Shakur. Although this is a sad reality to live in, it is not hip-hops responsibility to change this. It is the responsibility of artists alike representing an oppressed populace to speak meaningfully in their art, in someway or another, for the liberation of their people.
