Introduction:
Music is an important part of people’s life. Whenever
someone is sad or happy the first thing he does is listen to music. But not
only to demonstrate feelings is what we use music for. People who make hip hop
music, for example, come from places where the social struggle has been the
most important issue in their lives, so that’s what the songs they make
represent. It is your job to listen to some good and new school stuff and describe the problems. We are sending you on a mission back to when Hip-hop started, you job is
to complete the following tasks. Good luck! ;)
Tasks:
1. 1. We have provided you with a list of
artists from the old school and the new school of political hip-hop. It is your

school.( You may answer in your notebooks) Homework for december 12th.
