“Hip Hop Planet”
At
first, McBride did not really like hip-hop and rap and was not a fan of
it. Eventually he got used to it and
began to like it. Music is part of your
identity. It shows people they type of
person you are by what you may listen to.
There was one rap group, the Last Poets that McBride did not really
like. He had stated how he had been
scared of them at first. “They scared
me. To black America, they were like the
relatives you hoped wouldn’t show up at your barbecue because the boss was
there”(McBride). He believes that
hip-hop is now starting to turn into socially conscious songs and he begins to
like it more. He starts to believe that
the lyrics coming out of their mouths are a fantasy. All of the violent words and lyrics are not
reality to the artists; they are just trying to make some money. Not only does McBride give his perspective on
hip-hop and rap, but he also does a good job at using RENNS. Using this to describe the lyrics of this
genre of music gives the reader a clear understanding of what point McBride is
trying to make. Eventually he gets over
the fact of the lyrics being violent, just because he realizes some of it isn’t
entirely violent. Also some of it may
not even be real so it makes a difference.
