one sided. and stereotypical.. does not show the real history of rap         posted by Sarie11
Rap was first introduced to talk about the lives of urban people politically. It was a very positive thing. Rap was an art, with style and flare. Some rap is still that way. Still clean. Still political. I don´t know why this author only talks about gangs, drugs, women, etc: all that bad things. I was really excited to see that sheet, only to become sad when I realized I couldn´t give my students this material. This material is the equivalent of talking about the US and the war and iraq, our low rate of education, the economic deficit without a highlight of the principles of the country of the positive qualities of today. Please don´t spread this stereotyping and work (clearly written by someone who intended well but did not have the real history to work with) by using this sheet with your class.

Get Educated         posted by justinwade82
Whoa Whoa Whoa! This paper is whacked and writtedn by someone who obviously doesn´t know anything about rap. Rap started in the late 70´s early 80´s to enpower young urban blacks to be proud of their African heritage and it wasn´t until ´gangsta´ style appeared in the late 80´s did rap become violent with groups like N.W.A. and etc. Plus, rap is not sexist. It´s their view of always being dominated by women because of the lack of fathers and plus female rappers are just as sexist as male rappers according to your defintion. As for the N-word, rappers don´t use the word "nigger" they use the word "nigga" which according to the rap dictionary isn´t racist but simply an acknowledgement of a fellow brother like white people use the word "dude". Right idea but wrong facts.
