Movie Time!!

Man I wish I had more time for this wiki post!!!! I've dreamed of making a documentary-style movie about Hip Hop. But, before I discuss the wiki I'll discuss class.

Today we had class on skype again. I was grateful that Professor Wynn opened the quiz and wiki around times that I could definitely do more, and give more in-depth answers on my quiz. I'm making it through man....Senior year... really just ready to get out of school, but I must get out of that mind-set.

I have to stay motivated... Get back on my Hustler mentality.

Back to the Wiki....

My documentary would explore some of the most controversial stereotypes about Hip Hop Artist. It would first start off with a panel of prolific rappers and educators. The educators on this panel would be: Michael Eric Dyson, Cornell West, Roland Martin, Oprah Winfrey, and Maya Angelou. The artists on this panel would be: Jay Z, Lil’ Wayne, Wyclef Jean, Nicki Minaj, Missy Elliot, Kanye West, and Mase.

These people would be picked, because they are some of the most controversial, outspoken people of our time.

The first discussion would be the lyrics of hip hop. There would be questions such as: Will there ever be a day when we don’t here the “N-Word”, Why is there so much vulgar language in your songs, Do you think your music would sell if you went totally clean.

The second discussion would be the evolution of the view of the women in Hip Hop. I’d then show a clip of this video.


Next this one.



We’d discuss the differences of the overly sexualized image that women must have to be successful now, in contrast with years ago when a nice flow was all you needed.

We’d wrap up the discussion with talking about the future of hip hop, and where our people will be if continue to go down the road we’re on
