A detailed Summary of musicmakesmehigh

Often times when people hear about Hip Hop/Rap music, they?fll paint a picture in their heads of black men cussing, guns, marijuana, lots of gold,

and girls looking like prostitutes. Parents and teachers put an image in their kid?fs head that Rap music is ?gbad?h, and they don?ft want their kids

to be influenced by something that is negative. With the way Rap music is advertised in the US, I would have to agree with that looking at it from an average parent?fs point of view. But what people don?ft know is that Hip Hop isn?ft just a type of music, it?fs a culture. It?fs a culture full of original elements, and it?fs also a place where people can show others what they?fve got and who they are. Within this original society called Hip Hop, there are basically four main elements of MC, Break, Tag, and DJ. And each

is represented by millions of people all over the globe. When the four come together, it makes Hip Hop music, and people live the music instead of listening to it. MC-ing is what people know as rapping. The main point of an MC is to make your crowd enjoy your music, and to send a message out to them. Unlike most

of the lyrics out on the market today, Hip Hop contains meaning and it sends a message to the listener

?ft the only type of Hip Hop music, it?fs actually only a small sect of it all. Many rappers put out lyrics about what they believe in, their own philosophies, entertaining others, and although it may seem unlikely, many lyricists seem like Einstein to me. Just like all of the other geniuses like Newton, Galileo, and musically Jimi, there are MCs that are geniuses too. What makes those guys remarkable compared to others are their strength and choice of words, and their flow, or the melody, of their rhymes. I personally can?ft relate to the ghetto, guns, and all of that ?ggangster?h stuff, so I don?ft listen to that genre all that much, but there are many elements people can pick up from the Hip Hop music. There is a whole Japanese Hip Hop scene that is growing bigger and bigger, and that?fs what I personally live. The next element is Breaking. Breaking is a term used for dancing, and most people know it as Break Dancing. Although Breaking has become a small part of the whole dance scene in Hip Hop today, it?fs the first form of Hip Hop dances. People spin on their heads, do handstands, slide with just their hands on the ground, spin on the floor with their legs spread out, and all

s. Although those messages might have bad words,and show images of things that are socially wrong, that?fs actually what?fs going on where they are from, and that?f
