The Evolution of Media

  The genrations of hip-hop has been around for a long time from underground clubs to just having people rapping on the streets.  It's also produced many other sub generes such as christain raps example : Kanye West. Aswell it has come to provide millions of people with artists such as Eminem, Dre and Snoop Dogg.  These three rap artists have had the biggest impact on hip-hop ever slowly revolutionizing the way artists are today. From slow beats revolving around marijuana and how relaxing it is to the straight up gangster raps where they go all out about dissing or killing people. Also known as gang banging but they still have beats that go with what ever they do there freestyles are amazing in such ways that to be able to spit words off the top of their heads and make sense in rhyming is considerably more difficult than you might think. Most freestyles are agressive or about women who have caught the mc's eye. The art of producing music comes from deep within and has to come out naturally without losing wording or syablles and bring out the deepest thoughts you have to create a song or album with what ever is important in your life. Some artists have taken the classic beats of drums and the snare drum to a new level of sounds with techno remixs to it and or a high pitched voice called auto-tune it makes the voice distorted causing a sound that makes your music sound better or alot or worse depending on the persons preferences. Artists also get there inspiration to sing from drugs or alcohol to explain an experience of the party life that they had to get a message out to people its not that bad to party and have fun aswell to show their selfs off to the world and show girls how much they have so they can get laid.  Gangster rappers have been raised in hoods where they were terroized by other gang members and under the stress of being shot at from anywhere if you didn't watch your back so they tell you the life of how hard it was to live in a ghetto and survive coming out with getting money or how there is drama in their life so they start rapping how they wanna bang them out and eventually word spreads and more violence may arise but thats just the life they have in there knowing you could die at any moment would just terrize the mind of some.  Most rappers are drug dealers such as Wiz Khalifa rolling and selling pot for a living along with rapping about his life, all other rappers usually sell drugs to people to make that extra money on the side along with their rap career that seems to bring them in money like no tommorow so they still work hard to make money for themselves even tho it is illegal they still sing aloud about it and seem to rarely get caught.  Young artist today have slowly been making there way up by going around and handing out advertisements for bettering an income or to just get more known in the community, the best idea for artists is to bring there friends and get their friends to get people and eventually that artist will be making a living off of singing or if anything they could just make it by getting a signed record deal that could bring in thousands if not millions depending on the spread of the companys local buying area for music stores or where ever they might be able to sell there Cd to make a profit.  Akon is another rapper that has told stories of changing lives like singing about Africa to show his origins that help enhance his personal image of having respect for the cultural background of himself along with songs about girls and other things such as drugs and alcohol or dancing in clubs also known as the party life for a rap star or anyone with alot of money. When an artist has a featured singer come in to sing with them they usually have beef or showing the world that they have made a friendship together depending on how the song goes it would deffine weather or not their gangs will continue to have beef or just get over what ever has been going on usually due to the drug economy and wanting one anothers money resorces causing huge amount of gang violence but this gives singers more to sing about and show the world the troubles of drugs or have them provide it to the audience they are singing to. Everything always depends on the type of person you want to be when you get on stage and hard ass who will throw a punch or get hot tempered at almost anything or be one of those prissey boys that sing in high pitched voices who will later get destroyed in freestyle by the hard ass. The main goal of being a rapper is getting your point across and getting money along with girls for the purpose of boosting a self image the artists wishes to prosper in causing their self to look cooler or fresh as some would say. Overall the hip hop world is full of people who get together to sing about there times, drugs parties and the ladies they love thats the out look most have on the way  the underground scene is taken in the image of the public but people will always have their own opinons on the out take of how it is.
