                                                                "Can't Stop, Won't Stop"



              Hip Hop has been a ground-breaking industry that has opened up many doors. Originating in the Bronx, Hip Hop faced many barriers but from struggles the culture faced to victories won, Hip Hop has made it through. Hip Hop continues to break barriers, and have a large impact. People found it powerful to be able to express the hardships and their lifestyle freely.  It started as a mode of expression and continued to gain popularity with the public quickly and still continues to grow today.

Music and culture movement

Tate, Greg. "Music and Culture Movement." Encyclopedia Britannica. Encyclopedia Britannica, n.d. Web. 05 June 2016.

                Hip hop originated in mostly African American economically depressed South Bronx neighborhoods. In the late 1970’s deejaying, turntabling, rhyming and MCing was popular. As the hip-hop movement began to expand the origin of dancing and rapping came about. Rap first came to national attention in the United States with the release of the Sugarhill Gang’s song “Rapper’s Delight” (1979) on the independent African American-owned label Sugar Hill. Within just weeks of them realising the song it became a chart topping song and also helped define rap music.  In the mid-1980s the next wave of rappers, the new school, came to light. At the forefront was Run-D.M.C., a trio of middle-class African Americans who fused rap with hard rock, defined a new style of hip dress, and became staples on MTV as they brought rap to a mainstream audience. Run-D.M.C. recorded for Profile, one of several new labels that took advantage of the growing market for rap music.

I watched a video on YouTube that was a portion of a documentary called "Prescription Thugs". This documentary is about the overuse of prescription medication and the negative impact prescription drugs have caused individuals all over the U.S. It is a recovering addicts interview with an ex pharmaceutical representative. In this interview she is stressing the addictive nature of these drugs, and how the industry is only motivated by gaining a profit.

I can easily use this video to introduce my social issue, that is, prescription drug abuse. Her interview will be a huge eye opener for everyone and a great way to validate and support my stand on this issue and just how big of an issue it is.

I also found a clip of the trailer that is more focused on the prescription drug effects on the body. The entire documentary he is speaking to real people about their experiences with these harmful drugs. I might try to fins a way to work them both in. These clips should both be seen, and aid in proving my point.

1  1.My father had an impact on my life (the parts he was there for) because he taught me a trade. He taught me how to weld I remember one hot summer day he called me out into the garage and told me to grab one of those old milk crates and sit down. I remember I was so excited because I was going to be able to spend quality time with my dad. He told me to put on the welding mask it was huge, I felt like it wouldn’t fit my face but my father adjusted it so it would. I felt like iron man because the mask completely covered my face and had this huge blue rectangle where the eyes go so I could see. I remember he told me to put on his brown rough welding gloves. I did and he handed me the welding wand, he then guided my hands to a piece of metal and sparks began to fly. I pulled my arm back fast because I got popped with some of the sparks on the exposed part of my arm (ouch). I remember it burning but I didn’t cry because I didn’t want to look like a punk in front of my dad (lol I just wanted to be a cool chick in front of my dad). He  immediately asked me if I was okay I responded with yes and he told me to pick up the wand again. For the next three hours that day I and my father built the frame for a go-kart. That experience showed me that I shouldn’t allow a little pain to keep me from doing what I want to do and I should never give up.

I remember it burning but I didn’t cry because I didn’t want to look like a punk in front of my dad . He immediately asked me if I was okay I responded with yes and he told me to pick up the wand again. For the next three hours that day I and my father built the frame for a go-kart.

2.      After learning how to weld felt accomplished because I didn’t even though I got hurt.

     Reporter Gale Holland covers homeless and poverty for LA Times. With the help of Shelby Grad, they write "How Los Angeles' homeless crisis got so bad." The article is basically a few questions and answers from The Times' archives. General questions of homeless are being answered such as why is it happening and why is it increasing. The article even gives a map where homeless people tend to live. It also has a good amount of statistics throughout the article that gives an idea of how big or small this problem is.  "Well over half -- nearly 26,000 -- were in the city of Los Angeles" (Holland). This statement is helpful for my proposal and presentation as well as the map because I can show my audience how many there are and where.
