Hip-Hop Is Dead?

I've chosen to post this article on my blog because it is relevant to what my project is about. It is showing the changing reputation of Hip-Hop and Rap artists in the music industry and how it is dying out because of the images and that they are putting out there to the world and the way that the are being represented...

Lil Wayne Prison

This is video footage of Lil Wayne one of the most famous rap artists in the world and if not the most famous going to jail. Fans came in numbers to see the event to wish him luck, to send him off and even one woman told him that she had his face tattooed on her chest. The reason why I have chosen to put this on my blog is to ask a question... If this was a regular guy going to jail, he would be looked down upon but simply because he is famous, people are turning up in numbers to tell him how much they love him. Is this really a good role model....

A2 Media Project Idea

For my final year of media I am going to be producing a conventional music video and also I am going to be exploring the representations of black men in Hip-Hop and why they are being portrayed in a negative way...Hope you enjoy!
