Hip Hop Class Discussion

After our class discussion on Friday, I also left class feeling disappointed and the whole class was missing the point about Hip Hop. Also what our class discussion was supposed to be about. I kind of think we got a little off topic and made our discussion into a black and white topic by some of the things that were being said. Anyone is eligible to make rap music and anyone can listen to rap music also anyone is able represent hip hop music. Hip hop music is very good music and represents the African-American culture in a variety of ways. The point I was trying to get across when I raised my hand to speak is that Eminem is one of a kind he is a really good rapper and entertainer. His rap was the best out of many African-Americans that he battled with. In a predominately black industry Eminem was better than those other rappers he battled. For example Golf is a predominately white sport and Tiger Woods who is known to be African-American dominates the sport and gets all of the headlines. The point I am trying to make is if you work hard at something and have talent to go along with anyone no matter what the color of their skin is one can be successful at the goal they want to accomplish. Hopefully no one is holding any grudges against Hip hop music nor towards any of the classmates maybe our next discussion will be just as intense as this one and we have more time to express ourselves.
