Driving Question: How does the power of Hip-Hop and Culture in America impact different perspectives towards authority?
Symposium Reflection 1,2, and 3
#1-Each article i’ve found so far relates to my universal theme, power because it shows the power of music and rappers from the 1980’s-1990’s have had a strong powerful influence on our young people. An example of a rapper who has strongly influenced is Kendrick Lamar, he carried their legacy’s and message onto his raps. Something new i’ve learned about are old hip hop groups I never knew of until now. For example, Public Enemy is a group that had called themselves the “ Black CNN “. Something that left an imprint on rap. Our driving question has not changed so far, we decided to do “ How the hip hop community views the American government and how it impacts our youth. “ Our generalization is power because our music has a lot of power to send out it’s message. It can do various things from create controversy to change some things in law enforcement. Other pieces of information I wish to find is other hip hop groups, how the government views hip hop, etc. Our collaboration is working very well. This a topic both me and my partner are genuinely interested in.
#2- Since the last time we wrote about research, we learned that authority in music goes way back to when slaves would make music for their own entertainment. Our driving question changed about 3 times originally we were going to talk about hip hop’s impact on the youth’s perspective towards authority. Me and my partner, Maria are going to interview UCI professors because they have experience teaching on these topics. The easy part of this is probably annotating because I like to read and annotate on anything I genuinely like. I don’t think any of it is actually hard at all, it’s a topic that interests me and i’m happy with it. Some things I need to do is interview the professors. Our collaboration is going well. Maria a good, smart girl to work with.
#3- Me & my partner Maria have been learning more about the ways hip hop can be used or abused. I find that working with Maria is easy & there is no issue when working with her. Me and Maria want to record a re-enactment of a court case heard in an NWA song & somehow input that into our component. We need to find people who can play the judge or any other extras. Our collaboration is working well, a little late but going okay.
