This week’s discussion on rap was one of my favorite topic of discussion because I’m a big fan of what rap has given us in terms of messages. Today’s rap isn’t as strong with messages as the rap talked about in the week. Lupe Fiasco and Kendrick Lamar both have songs that aren’t afraid to go out and speak their mind about issues that exist in the world. “Words I Never Said” and “Alright” have both shown me the importance of bringing awareness to the tragedy and chaos of the world. As previously seen in other discussions, America has sent an incentive to keep history clean and nice towards its presentation. But Lamar and Fiasco inhabit similar traits to Malcolm X and MLK as both share the motivation to bring awareness to the existing pain and hate in society for the betterment of society. The big difference between today’s rap and the rap being talked about is that today talks about success and provocative, sexual interactions, but the rap we talked about is important towards learning the message of how society should fix itself when real problems are occurring in society.
