MF DOOM was the most influential artist and was ahead of his time. Do you listen to modern artists like Tyler, the Creator, or A$AP Rocky and just like their work? Well, MF DOOM or Metal Face Doom when he is rapping or Metal Fingers Doom when he is producing. He is considered an underground artist and to me, I think MF DOOM was the most influential artist and was ahead of his time. He did not always start as MF DOOM however he joined a music group called KMD which stood for Kausing Much Damage. It was a group he started with his brother and his friend but midway through making the album his brother was killed in a car crash and after they posted the album which by the way he did not get that popular from that album. So during the album he …show more content…
That is true in some aspects because of popularity, MF DOOM was popular but not like Kanye West level or Jay-Z because he was considered underground which means he is not very well known but popularity should not be something that decides if they changed hiphop. Kanye in my opinion has way more key features that makes him the person who changed hip hop like how he produces, his vocals, his rap style, more people inspired by Kanye and that does make him a good artist but these are my reasons why I believe MF DOOM was better. However, there are way more influential rappers but MF DOOM was more unique and he helped a lot of mainstream artists or inspired them. Sure Kanye had way more influence but that is to be expected with his influence, Its like McDonald's and a small restaurant. More people want their restaurants to be like McDonald because of its popularity but not its quality but I got to be honest is a very good artist but MF DOOM is not that well heard of thus he gets less but if he gets more popularity he would have the same amount of influence as Kanye. I also think that MF DOOMS flow and rap style because the way he rhymes is more unique because like I said in one of his songs he uses a 14-syllable double
Painters paint what they feel. Whether it is at that very moment, or how they have felt for the past five years - an artist’s work is always about how they feel. That is why anyone can tell all there is to know about Krasner and Pollock’s relationship just by viewing their artwork. One reason why I chose them is because I heard a joke about Jackson Pollock in my favorite TV show, Archer. Another reason is that one of his paintings, “One: Number 31,” looks to me like the Vatican’s “Thrown of Satan.” The foremost reason why I chose this couple is that their mutual attractiveness matches, making for a pleasant picture. Although Jackson and Lee’s relationship was charming on the surface, it was volatile. The nature of this might have helped Pollock’s work elevate, but it definitely affected Krasner’s work negatively.
nds for a new beat really separated his music from others. He didn't use traditional beats that people get tired of. He added a twist to rap and hip-hop music all together. And brought a lot of people to like that. "Tupac was one of raps most controversial and influential performers" ("tupac" n.p.).
Throughout history, different types of music have been a distinguishing characteristic of varying cultures. One genre of music that harbors such culture and historical significance is jazz. Jazz originated between the late 1800s and the early 1900s, right here in the United States. Jazz was known for incorporating African American forms of music with that of European music. It was seen as a cultural movement, and interestingly enough, the emergence of jazz coincided with the Harlem Renaissance. New Orleans, Louisiana is most known for the origination of jazz music, and is also the birthplace of one of the most influential jazz artists of all time, Louis Armstrong.
Christopher wallace aka The Notorious Big or Biggie Smalls, a drug dealing seventeen year old rapper with an ambition to make it in life and get rich while doing so. Marshall Mathers, Eminem his stage name was just a young white kid in a black detroit community with a passion for rapping. Both rappers have changed the current and and will be changing the future rap with their songs, not only by just their rap but from their persona as well. Just think about it for a second, if you walk into the mall and look around at peoples shirts, go into stores and look around you will either hear or see something Biggie Smalls related. Biggie has carried his legend throughout time because people are realizing him and guys like Tupac are the ones who changed the “bad boy” image in todays world. Its not the same anymore you don’t have guys on harleys in gangs or in their classic cars, its the “thug life” thats changed the world today and Biggie Smalls was just the creator.
Jackson Pollock was an American abstract artist born in Cody, Wyoming in 1912. He was the youngest of his five brothers. Even though he was born on a farm, he never milked a cow and he was terrified of horses because he grew up in California. He dropped out of high school at the age of seventeen and proceeded to move to New York City with his older brother, Charles, and studied with Thomas Hart Benton at the Art Students League. Thomas Benton was already a great artist at the time in which Pollock studied with him. Benton acted like the father figure in Pollock’s life to replace the original that wasn’t there. Benton was known for his large murals that appear on ceilings or walls. “Jack was a rebellious sort at all times,” recalls his classmate and friend, artist Harold Lehman. He grew his hair long and helped pen a manifesto denouncing athletics, even though “he had a muscular build and the school wanted to put him on the football team,” says former teacher Doug Lemon. Pollock always was upset with himself in his studies because he had troubles drawing things like they were supposed to look. From 1938 to 1942, Jackson joined a Mexican workshop of people with a painter named David Siqueiros. This workshop painted the murals for the WPA Federal Art Projects. This new group of people started experimenting with new types of paint and new ways of applying it to large canvas. People say that this time period was when Jackson was stimulated with ideas from looking at the Mexican or WPA murals. Looking at paintings from Picasso and the surrealists also inspired Jackson at this time. The type of paint they used was mixing oil colors with paint used for painting cars. Jackson noticed that the shapes and colors they created were just as beautiful as anything else was. Jackson realized that you didn’t have to be able to draw perfect to make beautiful paintings. Jackson started developing a whole new way of painting that he had never tried before and his paintings were starting to look totally different from before.
"Is gangster rap hip-hop? Sure. Does gangster rap involve talent? I think not." When people think of hip-hop music they think of violent rap that's talking about killing and raping. Not all hip-hop is like that though. It's not necessary to use obscenities or to speak of murder or drugs to be a good rapper. For some reason violence, sex, crime, and drugs are associated with rap. Rappers feel that they have to take on this gangster image in order to succeed. Not true!
In the 1920’s, jazz entertainer, Louis Armstrong’s influence ascended across the nation. Armstrong was notably one of the first prominent African-American performers to be accepted across racial lines; this was especially significant in an America that was still very much segregated. Known for his “gravelly” voice and improvisational skills, Armstrong was well sought after for collaborations and performances throughout America. In 1932 Fleischer Studios approached Louis Armstrong about accompanying and appearing in a Betty Boop cartoon short produced by the studio. He agreed to make the cartoon in order to advertise and promote his traveling band and its recordings; however, beyond this motivation, Armstrong was also afforded the ability to comment on American culture and racial tensions. Even though he was considered to refrain from publicly politicizing his race, in “I’ll Be Glad When You’re Dead You Rascal You,” through his accompaniment, Louis Armstrong craftily commented on racial themes without it being recognized by his audience.
More than any other rapper, Dr. Dre was responsible for moving away from the avant-noise and political stance of Public Enemy and Boogie Down Productions, as well as the party vibes of old school rap. Instead, Dre pioneered gangsta rap and his own variation of the sound, G-Funk. BDP's early albums were hardcore but cautionary tales of the criminal mind, but Dre's records with N.W.A. celebrate the hedonistic, amoralistic side of gang life. Dre was never much of a rapper -- his rhymes were simple and his delivery was slow and clumsy -- but as a producer, he was extraordinary. With N.W.A. & C.A. he melded the noise collages of the Bomb Squad with funky rhythms.
(“Louis Armstrong” par. 2). 2) King Oliver acted as an important father figure to Armstrong. He gave him his first real cornet and taught Armstrong to play. Louis ‘Satchmo’ Armstrong, par.
Louis Armstrong was known as the King of jazz, a trumpeter and singer who was one of the most influential figures in jazz music. Famous for his innovative methods of playing the trumpet and cornet, he was also a highly talented singer blessed with a powerful voice. Known for his skills on being able improvise, he would bend and twist the many lyrics and melody of a song with dramatic effect. As his popularity grew in the mid-20th century America when racism was more prevalent, he was one of the first African-American entertainers to be highly popular among both the white and the colored segments of the society. Fondly nicknamed Satchmo or Pops by his fans, he is often regarded to be the founding father of jazz as a uniquely American art form. Born into poverty in New Orleans, he had a very difficult childhood after his father abandoned the family. As a young boy, he
"I think the element of hip-hop left when rap music started being created on a slow tempo...It just stayed there for years. Right now, a lot of rap music today is being created at very low tempos. There 's no more of that 'wave your hands in the air like you just don 't care ' - you know, something that makes you want to get out there and breakdance...Rap music has lost that element right now, mainly over in America. There’s not too many great hip-hop records out there, but there are some great rap records.” (“The Difference Between Rap & Hip-Hop,”
Leonardo da Vinci and Andy Warhol are legendary in the art world and their masterpieces are one of a kind however when comparing the two the renaissance master Leonardo da Vinci is vastly superior when mastering an art collection.
... hard work and perseverance helped him accomplish his goal of become a major hip-hop star.

His flamboyant fashion sense and outspoken personality has shown us the real side if himself. Like him or not, his music has inspired and touched the lives of many aspiring hip-hop artists which makes him one of the most influential characters in America.
Reporting on Racsim I am writing in response to your request as an editor of The Bagpipe that I analyze Hanna Guthrie’s “Black History Month?” and make a recommendation for or against publication in The Bagpipe. After reading and evaluating the article’s rhetorical appeals, I recommend that The Bagpipe does not publish this particular editorial as the article does not provide enough evidence to support its claim in order to persuade the readers of The Bagpipe. However, this topic would still interest many students at Highland Park High School especially due to campaigns such as the Student Council sponsored Race to End Racism. Additionally, most teachers, specifically history and English teachers, prefer their students to keep up with current events, which includes debates about the way to treat racism.
Hip-Hop/Rap is one of the biggest growing genres of today. From its early stages in the 1970’s to today’s pop culture, it has grown quite a lot. Unfortunately, it has developed a terrible reputation of drugs, violence, abuse, and gangs. When people associate Hip-Hop with things it is usually a negative image that comes to the person’s mind. Which is sad, Hip-Hop/Rap has a great artistic quality to them that gets so easily overlooked. There is true poetry and emotion behind these lyrics and beats, but not everyone is willing to sit down and listen to it. They quickly judge this music genre and the immediately dislike it without giving it a second thought. Rappers pour their emotions and their souls into their songs and it really speaks to people who would stop and listen to them. Hip-Hop/Rap has evolved over time. From the early stages of Kool Herc, Afrika Bambaataa, and others to today’s rap stars like Eminem and Kendrick Lamar. Each decades style is different but each style is still good. What really made Rap huge was the Sugarhill Gang’s own song called “Rapper’s Delight” the entire song is around 15 minutes long with just three emcee’s rapping, Wonder Mike, Big Bank Hank, and Master G. An emcee is another word for a rapper. Most emcees are the head of whatever event is being taken place, kind of like people that do skits in a talent show to introduce the next act. Hip-Hop/Rap today is filled with emcees and rappers. Today we find a more complex and more diverse style than what we would find back in the 70’s. There are different styles to different rappers. Each one unique in its own way and it makes that rapper stand out compared to everybody else. Also, another thing today that is different from the past is the flow of a rapp...
