The Man No One Saw Coming Driving in your car, I’m sure everyone has heard the song “Trap Queen” come on the radio. That was the song that started it all and it blew up faster than any song before. The artist of the catchy tune is the one and only, Fetty Wap. He is the newest up and comer to the hip hop/rap industry and has taken the world by storm and topped all the music charts. His fame happened very fast, it only took him one year till he became a household name. He came into the music industry wanting to do something different than everyone else. Fetty Wap is best rapper in the game right now and he is giving more inspiration to kids across the world then anyone can. Fetty was born in a town called Paterson, New Jersey. His interest in music began in 2013. Fetty wanted to be different so instead of just rapping he began singing too. He started his own genre called trap&B. It combines his singing, rapping and memorable melodies. He grew up in a housing project which was a struggle for him. Fetty was diagnosed with glaucoma as a child, he then lost his right eye as a result of it. He used to have a prosthesis but he removed it after his rise to fame. He wanted to be an inspiration to kids around the world that are struggling with their own insecurities. There were many articles written about him that criticized him for only having one eye. Fetty didn’t get discouraged by all the rumors and he used his eye as an advantage. Fetty inspired a 10 year old boy named Jayden Burgos to remove his own prosthesis. Jayden lost his eye 2 weeks after birth due to retinoblastoma, a rare eye cancer. As soon as Jayden saw a picture of Fetty Wap he was immediately taken aback, “At first he didn’t say much, but then we would overhear him talking to family members and friends about this rapper Fetty Wap, who, like him, was missing an eye, and how he thought it was really

Mainstream Hip Hop Culture

...Latino community but around the world , some artists started to take the genre into a negative turn. Just to name a few, these artists are Young Thug, Tyga, O.T Genesis, Rae Sremmurd, and fetty WAP. The every individual has the right to express herself musically the way they want to, the reason why I included these artists in the list of artist as I felt do not represent the hip-hop culture is because they do not uphold the same standard musically as the way Hip Hop was intended to be. These artists is have taken the poetic art of hip-hop and turned it into the way to get trendy clothes and become rich and famous by dropping a nice speech in the background with absurd lyrics. They speak on money , drugs , in this disgrade women and almost every verse of their songs. Many people would not see the problem in this comma but what I see is a generation ruining the art that was hiphop. This of course would it be a problem if they were just individuals making music to make music, but these are the individuals that are the face of today's hip-hop. By this occurring, it is taking the beauty away from this genre and making a mockery out of it. One example from each category of the hip hop shift lyrics I will be dissecting for your understanding is Tupac Shakur's "The Rose That Grew From Concrete" and Fetty Wap's "Trap Queen". In the lyrics of Tupac's "The Rose That Grew From Concrete" , it reads, "Did you hear about the Rose That Grew From a crack in the concrete? Proving Nature's law is...

Philosophy Essay

...because emotions are caused by reasons. Everyone has reasons for liking songs, some are fond of their likings and some are not. That is why some people admit to liking the songs they listen to and some just keep it to themselves. Therefore, liking something for no reason is impossible. From my experience, I tend to listen to the songs that sound catchy. I have many reasons why I like the songs that I listen to because they are either catchy, have significant lyrics that have meanings behind them or because the words that are being sung in the song connects with the situations that I might be dealing with. People use some songs to express their emotions when they can't explain it by using their own words. For example, the song "Trap Queen" by Fetty Wap, many people like it because of the funky beat and some people hate it because it is stupid. But a lot of people have their own opinions to different songs that they hear. We should not judge them if they like certain songs that we might dislike because to them, we like the songs that they despise. People don't like the concept of the song because it talks about him paying a...

Conduct primary and secondary research for a selected product/service making use of identifiable sampling techniques.

The researcher takes into account several characteristics e.g. gender, age, income, residence and education. An example of a profitable sample could be systematic random sampling. With the systematic random sample, there is an equal chance (probability) of selecting each unit (every nth person) from within the population when creating the sample. For my research I've chosen to use a non-profitable sampling methods simply because I am targeting young people on how music influences them. So I have specific age groups (16-19), which are allowed to answer the questionnaire in order to make my research more reliable. With my questions I've used four different methods in order to make my questionnaires more do able and reliable. I used opened questionnaires, which allows my samples to elaborate on their answers. I've also used closed question such as 'do you listen to music?’ as yes or no question are easy to tally up. I've used scaled questions in order to easily tally up and give general quantitative data and finally I have also used dichotomous which is the use fixed-alternative questions...
