Marshall Bruce Mathers III is Eminem's real name. He was raised in Detroit, Michigan. He was discovered by Dr. Dre. He became an Academy and Grammy, Award-winner and became very famous for his sing writing.
Eminem is a incredible MC. In his songs he has amazing rhyming scheme. Just in this particular sing "Infinite"
I personally enjoy his music and can relate to his music and I feel I can connect to him on personal level.
Ayo, my pen and paper cause a chain reaction
To get your brain relaxin, cause they be actin maniac in action
A brainiac in fact son, you mainly lack attraction
You looking zany whack with just a fraction of my tracks spun
My rhyming skills got you climbing hills
I travel through your mind until you spine like siren drills
I'm sliming grills of roaches, with sprayed on disinfectants
With some ex rappers till their spinal column disconnects
Put this in decks and check the monologue, turn your system up
Twist them up, and indulge in the marijuana smoke
This is the season for noise pollution contamination
Examination of more cartoons than animation
My lamination of narration
Hit's a snare and bass of track for duck rapper interrogation
When I declare invasion, there ain't no time to be staring and gazing
I turn the stage into a barren wasteland (Slant Rhyme)...
I'm Infinite
[Chorus:]
You heard of hell well I was sent from it
I went to it's surface and sentenced for murdering instruments
Now I'm trying to repent from it
But when I hear the beat I'm tempted to make another attempt at it...
I'm Infinite
[Verse 2:]
Bust it, I let the beat commence so I can beat the sense of your elite defense
I got to meet the fence fruit was stompin at your feet to rinse
I greet the gents and ladies, I spoil all your fans
I foil plans and leave fluids leaking like oil bands
My coil hands around this microphone lethal
One thought in my cerebral is deeper then a Jeep full of people
MC's are feeble, I came to cause some pandemonium
Battle a band of phony MC's and stand the only one
Imitator, Intimidator, Stimulator, Simulator of data, Eliminator
There's never been a greater since the burial of Jesus
Fuck around and catch all of the venereal diseases
My thesis will smash a stereo to pieces
My accapella releases plastic masterpieces through telekinesis
And eases you mentally, gently, sentimentally, instrumentally
With entity, dementedly meant to be Infinite
(I tried to bold the rhyming words and it just wouldn't work.)

Ch:7 All Around the World
The subway trains were the first visual evidence of the new culture in the Bronx. Rappers Delight came out and the art on the subway trains became famous. “This changed in the early 80’s, as b-boying became a media phenomenon and film makers documented the music, art, and dance of the Hip-Hop culture” (275 Yes Yes Y’all). The film Wild Styles put the artist on the screen and Style Wars gave a glimpse in the lives of graffiti writers. Beat Street made rappers movie stars and break-dancers were put on the cover of magazines. Break-dancers also preformed in the opening of the Olympics. Kids began dancing and dress like the performers they saw. By 1982 Hip-Hop arrived in full force and was brought into clubs.
The British all experienced Hip-Hop by expatiate Kool LadyBlue booked Dj’s,MC’s, graffiti artist, and b-boys in weekly celebrations of the Hip-Hop culture.
A new generation started with a new sound and dance from Run-DMC and LL. Cool J.

Grandmaster Flash
Grandmaster Flash was a legendary turntablist. He was the first artist to be introduced in to the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame and along with the Fabulous Five.
Grandmaster Flash was born Barbados. He is well known for his “break
Beat” DJ skills. He is one of many “Fathers of Hip-Hop”. He played at outdoor jams throughout New York City. He used a “cutting technique”. He did body tricks while cutting his records. Some of he body tricks he did while controlling the turntable was mixing behind his back or with his feet.

Hip-Hop Paradox
Hip-Hop Paradox
The Hip-Hop nation has earned negative attention because of the behavior of women and in the music videos. Women subject themselves to willingly disgrace and allow to be abused on stage. Women disgrace themselves because of the way they dress in videos and the way the act. Young black women are seen shaking their nearly naked rumps in music videos. "As much as the sexploitation of young black women is necessary to the 'keep it real' mantra of hip hop artists, corporate bottom lines, and marketing strategies, we must acknowledge our own role in this troubling relationship." Because of theses half naked women people (men) are buying the CD’s and the women are being paid.
I think if we didn’t have half naked women in videos there would be less people to buy the music or watch the video. The production of cds would go down and but artist into debt.

Don Imus Discussion In Class
I feel if these women in music videos are going to disgrace themselves by wearing barely anything and dance like strippers on a pole then they should be called hoes. People should have the right of speech and Mr. Imus should have not been taken off the air. I am sorry I think some of the women who act like that should be proud and hold their name as a hoe and should not have any problem when a person says what they believe. Yes some people are going to be mad but it is the truth and the truth hurts. If they don’t want to be call hoes then women should find another job that would be more of a professional job that allows them to wear more clothes. Women don’t have to dance like cheap whores and if they can’t take the names that are going to be thrown at them. It is a hard life and people choose what they want to be weather they choose to be a hoe on live TV or a model. It is their chose and they should understand how people see them and if they don’t like it then find another job. Don’t fire people for voicing their opinion. If radio stations fire someone for voicing their opinion their there would no longer be radio stations. They would be all closed down because of voice their opinions on anything.

Chapter 6 Women
Women were given some of the same opportunities in the music world. You don't hear a lot of women in the Hip-Hop stage MC, DJ, or break dancing. Women didn't get know until the 1960's. Some females MC crew sequence were label mates on Sugar Hills records. Pambaataa was the first female DJ. In 1976,Grandmaster Caz taught her how to be a DJ. Caz introduced her to Bamaataa and since her name was Pam and needed a name for herself she was named Pambaataa.
Bebbie D has a voice that Dominated MCing and was a soloist. Sha-rock had a voice that Dominated the mic. They had the power, determination and to make it in the music business.
Mercedes ladies were the first female crew.
Wanda D was a good writer.
Wanda D "Someone has to break the door and make it easier for women to enter rap, MC's, or DJ's." She thought it would.not be that hard but she soon realized it was a mans world. I think that if women can compete with men and proved themselves worthy then they should have the same opportunity to compete in anything they want to do. Women were disrespected when they She wanted to make it easier for women in the future. She had to work her way up the line to get her reputaion to grow but Bambaataa helped her alot in getting her noticed. Women had to hook up with top rappers and work up the line to get recognized.

Notes form April 5
I didn't know their were different means for DJ and Dee-Jay. I just though they were the someones that ran the party put the music out in the clubs and got people dancing.
DJ still dose music but on radio and does not have an individual. The shows are pre-recorded and played over and over. Sometimes that is why I here the same song over 5 times in a spand of couple of hours. I found it bit of annoying and eventually turned off the radio and but on a CD.
Deejaying-are turn tables and records. They compete in a turntable competition and play at the clubs. They put a personality in the music they play. The Top three turntable artist were Kool Herc known as the God father and Grandmaster Flash who invented sample, cue, cross fader, and clock theory. Afrika Bam. was another famous Hip-Hop artist who brought the community and had a Caribbean connection and brought Hip-Hop to Europe through the Zulu nation.

The Great White Hope Makes Good
The White Rappers Show
Rappers: Shammrock, G-Child, Persia, John Brown and many more.
One of the strongest episode of the season was John "Ghetto Revival Brown." He invented the "hallelujah, hollaback."
Persia was the one who wanted it all. "Her big mama vibe, her raspy voice, and her commanding presence" showed people that that she wanted to be the winner of the show. She represetns someone who is a natural part of the Hip-Hop culture. Where it came from and the elements of Hip-Hop? Also Why is has become very popular. People don't want fack rhyme but words that come from the heart. Real life events. Persia was from the hood and said the "N" word on t.v numerous times in one episode and she had to wear a big medallion around her neck all day. if men were to say it to each other thier is no consequnces. Yes she said it in a bad way. but if other people use the word then why can't women. I am very lost and confused.

Lauryn Hill and Hip Hop
Hip-Hop Soul Merchant
Lauryn Hill is a singer who is viewed not doing Hip-Hop but Hip-Hop. She can "rhyme competently enough to satisfy subcommerical hip-hop ghetto realness gatekeeper". The two of the songs that are being described as being part of Hip-Hop is "The Sweetest Thing" and "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. She is viewed as an MC and sings with her church choir. "Her curriculum vitae, fugees superstar, community activist, undergraduate Columbia History major, and a child actor." I see her as a mentor in the music videos. She tells how it is and doesn't wake anything up. Her music comes from the heart and she is not degrading herself and a rapper's video. She has accomplished so much in her life and now she is a big time singer. She makes very beautiful music videos with church singers and she not afraid to be different.

Response to class notes 3/29/07
I have never heard about Hip-Hop till I took this class. I agreed with the many factors why white kids love Hip-Hop. The beat and lifestyle, Identifying with something you haven’t grown up with, and it uncovers the “truth” about the sub-urban. The reason why I like Hip-Hop is because it is real and it shows the true feeling of life. I soon began to love Hip-Hop. I loved the catchy beat and it becomes a new form of dancing. The Hip-Hop music became a way you can escape from your life.

Hip-Hop: Today’s Civil Rights Movement?
By: Scott Simon
The article is about an author named Todd Boyd who wrote a book called The New H.N.I.C: The Death of Civil Rights and the Region of Hip-Hop. The book compares Hip-Hop culture with Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement.
In a Weekend Edition Saturday Interview with NPR’s Scott Simon, Todd Boyd states, “Martin Luther King Jr. and his politics are very specific to a certain time and it is important for us to learn from that, but if we want to talk about the present and future, Hip-Hop is more immediate and more relevant.” Black Power has moved away from the suffering and into Hip-Hop, which is more active, aggressive, and more revolutionary.
Boyd also states, “Hip-Hop uses languages as a weapon, not a weapon to violate or not to offend, but as a weapon that pushes the envelope that provokes people, makes people think”.
The acronym for his book, The New H.N.I.C: The Death of Civil Rights and the Region of Hip-hop is a reference to a phrase in the “1970’s-Head nigger in charge.” N-i-g-g-e-r has always been seen as a racist word and a root word for slavery. Hip-Hop then changed the word to N-i-g-g-a. Rapper Tupac Shakur said, “N-i-g-g-a stands for Never Ignorant Getting Goals Accomplished.”
I agree with the article that Martin Luther King Jr. and the “I have a Dream” speech helped African Americans get equal rights. We still thank Martin Luther King Jr. for desegregation and we will always keep him in our minds. The “I have a Dream” speech was a true life experience; without Martin Luther King Jr., equal rights for all might not exist today. We have learned from this experience and now people are seldom rejected for something solely based on race.
Today people more often express their feelings through Hip-Hop. Artists to express their true feelings about what is really happening in their lives use hip-Hop. Everything in Hip-Hop has meaning and it comes from the heart and soul of the person. It is based on true real life experiences. Hip-Hop is the culture and lifestyle of music and has become nationally and internally popular.
Hip-Hop comes with a beat or a dance that catches a person’s eye or ear and can be expressed in many forms such as graffiti art, emceeing, deejays, or break-dancing. It can be heard in cars, the clubs or just walking down the street; it is becoming more and more popular everyday.
The language of music has changed. The word N-I-g-g-e-r to me has been used as a word of racism and a root of slavery. I have heard people of the African American race say it to themselves and I haven’t ever figured out why as it seems to me they would be insulting themselves. Hip-Hop has changed the word to N-i-g-g-a, which rapper Tupac Shakur says “N-i-g-g-a stands for Never Ignorant Getting Goals Accomplished.” From that statement, it seems to me that people are unaware of getting goals accomplished. People set their minds to one thing and another minute it changes.
Overall, Todd Boyd’s book The New H.N.I.C: The Death of Civil Rights and the Region of Hip-Hop seems like a really good book I would enjoy reading. Todd Boyd makes a lot of sense in the comparison of Hip-Hop becoming more popular than the Civil Rights Movement. The Civil Rights Movement has come and gone and now the future is ahead with Hip-Hop. Hip-Hop has become the next revolutionary movement.

Discovering the Power of Hop-Hop
The Leader
The article is about a Hip-Hop empowerment camp called Hip-Hop Hope located in Alexandra at Crescent Beach in Canada. The camp runs from March 19 to March 23 for ages 14 through 18. The cost of $265 includes lodging, meals, supplies, and the cost of recording.
Camp Hip-Hop Hope is coming to the United States in April to the Tierra Learning Center in Leavenworth, WA. The camp will be held April 11-15 and will cost $230.
Gita John is the director of Hip-Hop Hope. Ms. John says “Hip-Hop Hope will bring together artists, youth mentors and teenagers to spend five days building a community and learning about the history of Hip-Hop as a youth-driven creative tool for social change”. The teenagers will experience connecting with people with multicultural backgrounds.
Participants will learn the process of making an album and record a full-length album. First, the participants will start by creating the lyrics, then a beat, and third, going to a recording studio to record a song. They will also get to witness the process of how the song is recorded on the album.
Hip-Hop Hope is sponsored by the Power of Hope and Society (registered charity). The co-sponsors are the Youth Philanthropy Council of the Vancouver Foundation, Knowledge Aboriginal Youth Association (KAYA), and Vancouver Department of Parks and Recreation.
A lot of teenagers would probably attend a Hip-Hop Hope camp in Virginia as it would give them an opportunity to get off the couch, have fun, and meet a variety of other teenagers and artists as well as learn the history of Hip-Hop. They would learn where Hip-Hop started and how it became famous. Going to Hip-Hop camp would be a great learning experience and create memories that would last a lifetime.

New York vs. Graffiti Artist
The New York train system hurt the growth of Hip-hop by cleaning the graffiti off of the trains. They tried to keep graffiti artists from painting the trains by putting up layers of barbwire and using vicious dogs to keep graffiti artists out. They tried to stop Hip-hop, but to me, they didn't succeed.I don't think graffiti artists hurt Hip-hop; they made Hip-hop stronger. Graffiti artists found ways around the system so they could still put up their masterpieces. Some of the graffiti on the trains brought life to those who rode trains. Instead of seeing this plain boring train you see everyday of your life, graffiti artists brought color to people’s eyes. They brought a unique art to the city of New York. New York did try to stop graffiti artists by putting cleaners on the trains so the paint would not stick, but the graffiti artists found other ways to put up their masterpieces. The train system put up barbwires around the train yard to keep graffiti artists out, but sometimes that didn't even work. They still found a way into the trains and created beautiful works of art.
