Racism in rap
In my second apollo project I wanted to show how racism was shown in rap. I wanted to see if the problems addressed in 1990's rap were the same problems being talked about in 2017's rap. One question that kept popping up in my head was, were the problems talked about in these songs even true. I had to check if the problems being addressed in the songs and they ended up being true. From there I had to see if there was a way to tell the difference between the songs so I went around my class and asked people if they could tell me what years the songs were made in. As you can see from the picture to the left the classmates did pretty good. There were a few songs that messed people up but other than that people did good. In the picture to the right, those were the tips people were giving me that helped them when it came time to answer. With all of the information that I collected I wrote a summary of how racism is projected in rap. I also made a summary of why each artist wrote their songs.
In the pictures below are 4 different art works from different years that also show racism. the link button below will send you to an analysis of the artworks
