History Of Hip Hop



Reflection:
As I was researching the history of hip hop, I discovered that there is more to hip hop than the music that is produced. I learned that it was a culture and that it had many different contributions that make hip hop what it is today. As I learned about the culture I also found out about the founders of hip hop as well as the birthplace of hip hop. I also learned about how the hip hop culture is constantly changing from going from old school hip hop which had elements of funk to the new school hip hop which has other genres mixed in.

        Notes Of Life

The grim day starts off
slow
Life seems to be repetitive
No one around seems to be attentive
Ignoring the things that glow

Once the drum kicks
and the bass hits
What seemed to be boring
turns life into something
you should be discovering

The white monstrous clouds
Show a movie from above
The wonders that the world brings
should be something more than love

The notes that seem simple
are secretly ample
The notes that synergize
is like a gift in disguise

What makes your heartbreak
and cause a heartache
These notes will cure
They will for sure

What bad happens in the world
will seem like a blur
It creates you to a cartographer
trying to find a way to the dreamworld

These are the notes of life
that will change you
These are the notes of life
