Love and romance to this day hold one of the biggest genres of the epidemic It is important in any culture for someone to feel they fit in and love is something that most people want. It is natural to be curious about love and how to obtain it. Love is one of the more relatable topics regardless of a person's background.

...Meek Mill continued to fire insults at Drake during a Thursday concert in New Jersey, delivering an awkward freestyle that invoked both the ubiquitous "ghostwriting" leveled against his Canadian rap rival – and, for reasons unclear, Caitlyn Jenner. "Did five months, came home, that's perfect timing / To make a sucka nigga look sucka without trying / If Quentin Miller wrote that shit, what were we buying?" Meek raps in the above clip, MissInfo reports. "Niggas turn to hoes; Caitlyn Jenners turn to Drizzy Drakes."

Meek's New Jersey verbal assault is only his latest as opener on Nicki Minaj's Pinkprint tour: "Everybody catching bullet holes, including Drake and the whole OVO," he rapped during a Tuesday show in Charlotte, referencing a shooting following Drake's OVO Fest. The entire Meek-Drake feud began after Meek accused the rapper of using a "ghostwriter" – referencing Quentin Miller, a Drake collaborator openly credited for his contributions – which launched a series of responses both recorded and live. Drake's meme-crammed, guest-assisted OVO Fest performance looked like a knockout blow, but Meek hasn't slowed down, even threatening...

...DanLuVisiArt PS Brushes ----------------------- Standard Brush: This is what I use to drop my basic colors when quickly slapping down what I want. I seldom use it for actual detailing, but if I need to block in thick patches I'll use this brush. Detailing Painting Brush: My favorite brush next to the fur brush. This one is simply used to get those nooks and crannies. If I were to use the brush above for 25% of the painting, this would be the other 75%. Lighting Brush: You know all those lens flares, over bright lights, shiny glowing areas I do? This is the brush. Use it softly and you'll achieve a nice bloom in your lighting. Detailing Lighting Brush For tinier spots, harder lighting areas. Texture Brush: I use this brush mostly for pores, dabbles on the skin, bumpy surfaces, or just to give texture to skin in general. Works like a charm. Hair Brush/Smudge Brush: Pretty Self Explanatory. Do I start off painting hair with this brush? No, I use the Standard Painting Brush then I go over it with this brush to create the strands/etc. As for the smudging, this is my ideal color mixer when I need to blend tones, acts like a bristle brush and merges all those nice colors together to create a creamy feel. Chalk Brush: I use this for clouds sometimes, smoke, or just patching in colors. Works better than I can explain. Hard Ink Brush: This I use rarely, but when I do use it, it really helps. Usually for adding glare, or tight highlights on certian objects to...

...define. Onika Tanya Maraj better known as Nicki Minaj has plenty of social power. She was born in Trinidad and Tobago but at the age of five, she moved to Jamaica Queens, New York. Her dreams were to become an actress but she later found her love in rapping. Nicki Minaj took on back up singing roles for local New York City rappers. Soon, she began to write her own material and got in her own group.

...SHELBY HARDIN ENGLISH 1113 SPRING 2014 DR. RUDOLPH RAP HERO CHUCK D. The year 1984, there was a new force on the rise in the music industry; rap. This early form of Rap was no more than some random dude on the mic at the house party going “check one, check two!” That was followed by a long descriptive rant about how awesome he was and what made him so awesome. The content of early rap was boastful and party oriented. The climate of the country was the feeling the leadership was attacking the low income communities. The Republican Party had such a delusional perception of the low income community. True drugs were being dealt daily in the ghetto. Not everyone agreed about who was doing the dealing, the government or local criminals with little resources to obtain the imported cocaine. In the mist of this mistrust and hopelessness came a rap group who was willing to take on the establishment and tell the truth about the Black American Experience. That group was Public Enemy. The front man of the group, Chuck D, the D is for dangerous; was the role model missing and needed in the black community. Chuck D whose real name is Carlton Douglas Ridenhour, said the one thing that had happened to start the group’s mission and became the true focus of the music came about one day when Chuck D was walking around his home area of Roosevelt New York with a Malcolm X t-shirt from back in the day. When a 13 year old boy walked up to Chuck D and asked him why was he wearing a ten...

...|How Hip-Hop Holds Blacks Back | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Not long ago, I was having lunch in a KFC in Harlem, sitting near eight African-American boys, aged about 14. Since 1) it was 1:30 on a school day, 2) they were carrying book bags, and 3) they seemed to be in no hurry, I assumed they were skipping school. They were extremely loud and unruly, tossing food at one another and leaving it on the floor. Black people ran the restaurant and made up the bulk of the customers, but it was hard to see much healthy “black community” here. After repeatedly warning the boys to stop throwing food and keep quiet, the manager finally told them to leave. The kids ignored her. Only after she called a male security guard did they start slowly making their way out, tauntingly...

...Portrayal of Women in Rap and Music Videos :: 4 Works Cited Length: 1724 words (4.9 double-spaced pages) Rating: Blue Price: $24.95 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Misogyny and degradation of women is present in almost every genre of music, yet the one genre that completely revolves around demeaning women is rap. Over the years rap and rap music videos have continually become more sexual and degrading towards women. Rap has been criticized numerous times for this reason, and that is because rap is one of the most popular genres of music for the younger generations. It is more than a genre of music, it is a complete industry filled with clothing and other merchandise. The reason this constant demeaning of women exists is because rap as a genre that rewards the objectification of women. The excuses used to justify the misogyny in rap are incomplete and lack accurate support. The most effective way for this continuous cycle ends, is if the fight and protest comes from the women themselves. Men are the problem in the objectification of women but in order for it to stop, women need to step up and take control of the situation. Women need to act sooner rather than later because in recent years the rap industry has become more and more sexual. Ra... ... middle of paper ... ...Society 113 (2000): 255-69.
