Hip Hop Music

Analysis of hip hop music and lyrics can provide students with a greater understanding of rhythm, form, diction, and sound in poetry. Students will analyze form in Shakespearean sonnets, then analyze hip hop music to determine common characteristics between the Bard's work and the music of hip hop artists. Students will reinforce their understanding of the connections between hip hop and poetry through close analysis of the works of poets Saul Williams and Nikki Giovanni, and through the creation of their own poetry.

As with anything, some hip hop is artful and thought-provoking, and some is jus plain shit.

I'm a Young Money Millie in aire, tougher than Nigerian hair,
My criteria compared to your career just isnt fair,
I'm a venereal disease like a menstrual bleed...
Threw the pencil and leak on the sheet of the tablet in my mind,
Cause I don't write shit cause I ain't got time,
Cause my seconds, minutes, hours go to the al mighty dollar,
And the al mighty power of dat chit cha cha cha chopper,
Sister, Brother, Son, Daughter, Father motha **** a copper,
Got da maserati dancin on the bridge pussy poppin,
Tell the coppers... hahahaha you can't catch em, you can't stop em,
I go by them goon rules if you can't beat em then you pop em,
You can't man em then you mop em,
You can't stand em then you drop em,
You drop em cause we pop em like Orville Redenbacher,

YEAHHHHHHH BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COMING TO A SCHOOL NEAR YOU!!

Yes, lets type some complete utter nonsense.. similar to your signature.

I was just quoting the poetic Little wayne. He is a great artist, and role model for black youth, and suburban white kids. I highly recommend him.

Lil wayne owns you. I am a white little boy from suburbia.

moneymaker · 01-31-2010, 11:38 PM

lil wayne is not a good hip hop artist by any means. Ok, he has a few "catchy" songs, but his lyrics are complete nonsense, and have little to know true meaning. He's completely commercial and too mainstream.

If you want real hip hop, listen to the Wu, Cormega, Canibus or Noreaga, to name a few.

Any of these rappers would eat lil waynes food anyday.

That onion video was jokes though.
