Carter’s mother was only 19 years old when he was first born. He was being raised by both his mother and father until his father abandoned them while Dwayne Jr. was only two years old.

George covers much familiar ground: how B-beats became hip hop; how technology changed popular music, which helped to create new technologies; how professional basketball was influenced by hip hop styles; how gangsta rap emerged out of the crack epidemic of the 1980s; how many elements of hip hop culture managed to celebrate, and/or condemn black-on-black violence; how that black-on-black violence was somewhat encouraged by white people scheming on black males to show their foolishness, which often created a huge mess; and finally, how hip hop used and continues to use its art to express black frustration and ambition to blacks while, at the same time, refering that frustration and ambition to millions of whites.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to rise to fame overnight? Shawn Mendes posted a six second video on the app vine in 2013, and woke up the next morning with over ten thousand followers (Biography). But many people don’t know why or how he became as popular and well known as he is now. “It was a mix of hard work and good luck” said Mendes (Hernandez). It didn’t take Shawn very long to be discovered by Andrew Gertler; Shawn's current manager, who then showed it to Island Records, who later signed Shawn in early 2014 (Biography). I chose this topic because I find it very interesting how Shawn grew to fame overnight. This essay will explain how successful Shawn Mendes has become so far, and how he was one of the most successful to come from social media.

Some might disagree with Klosterman’s view on Perez Hilton and his villainy, but that is because they do not realize the amount of hatred and sorrow Perez Hilton has brought upon the world.

Tupac Shakur, born the son of two Black Panthers in 1971, grew up to be one of the best-selling rappers of all time, selling over 75 million records even after his tragic death in 1996. His song “Changes” recorded in 1991 and produced in 1998 (based on Bruce Hornsby's "The Way It Is") discussed many of the injustices the African American population face, focusing on racism, the war on drugs, the perpetuation of poverty, and the overall oppression the African American population experiences (Statistics Brain Research Institute, 2017). I chose this song to discuss because some of the specific injustices he mentioned throughout the song mirrored many discussions we have had in class.
