Hip-Hop Controversy


In Hip-Hop there are certain aspects which people think are good or bad. The truth is entirely up to you. According to a few websites that I have looked up there are perspectives about hip-hop that are good and bad and there are those who think that hip-hop is bad but it is still considered a culture. I believe that hip-hop is good because it is very entertaining, the music is new and interesting, and the lyrics make sense about my world. How ever there are always two sides the fence.
Hip-Hop has many different attributes and listening to at least 1 of these attributes causes people to think that the only type of Hip-Hop is the one that they are listening to. This is not entirely true. Many rappers have different approaches on how to write their music and they stick with it. They may change their approach on their way of writing but it is like a win-lose situation. It’s a win –lose situation provided that the people may start to like the way that rapper thinks. So it’s all due to the fans. So I can’t say that hip-hop is a complex genre because all genres are the same way.
Some fans of hip-hop like the way SOME hip-hop artist’s uses violence to explain how the world affects them, other fans like the way hip-hop artists talk about what the “real world” is like. They feel the music. Hip-hop stereotypically meant for African Americans are listened to worldwide in every race created in many different languages and influences more to write hip-hop music.
Viewpoints of hip-hop aren’t important if it was known what makes it obvious why these view points where made. As it was explained earlier in this report, people make these viewpoints due to the fact that their preferences weren’t met. There is no way that these view points can be changed without another viewpoint being made. People can never be satisfied!!!!
