.... had much reference to jazz, Buddhism, and drugs in their literary work. Ginsberg, who was mainly known for his life-changing poem “Howl,” which was first read at the Six Gallery in San Francisco in October 1955, defeated all odds by letting be known and writing about the fact that he was of Jewish heritage and a homosexual. William Burroughs, who also was very much into drugs, wrote such novels such as Junky, and “Naked Lunch, which made Burroughs an underground celebrity, and is widely considered his best work.3” Burroughs is in fact though, “the only major beat figure not strongly influenced by Buddhist thought.4” Jack Kerouac, who had wrote t .....

.... folk music. Why then have so many musicologists missed the obvious conclusion: that the element which makes West African music different from ours is not the absence of any of these four characteristics but simply the different relationship between them? Most West African languages had evolved not only from vowels and consonants but also from a third element of articulation which was based simultaneously on variation of pitch, timbre and timing. West African drum language was not a primitive sort Morse code but a phonetic reproduction of the sound of words; only languages dependent on pitch, vibrato and timing lend themselves to such treatment. The time elemen .....

.... or needle, at its free end. The tonearm either pivots to keep the stylus in the record groove, or is suspended by a mechanism that enables it to stay oriented in the same direction while it moves across the record. When the stylus moves along the undulating groove of the revolving disk, it vibrates, and the vibrations are converted into equivalent electrical impulses by the cartridge in the tonearm. These impulses are conducted by wire leads to an electronic amplifier and then to one or more loudspeakers. The first practical phonograph was built by the American inventor Thomas Edison in 1877. Edison recorded sound on a cylinder, which was then rotated again .....

.... in that his lyrics evolve over time as being indicative of his vampiric state. Either he has become a vampire, he believes himself to be a vampire, or he is leading a fictional double life, from which he draws inspiration for his lyrics. What exactly is a vampire? Numerous myths, folk tales, and works of fiction exist on the matter of what makes up a vampire, but if they do exist, vampires have been incredibly careful to conceal their presence from most people (supposedly following a law known as the Masquerade), and very little is known about them definitively. However, some basic facts are common to most sources. These are: vampires drink blood, vampi .....

.... These improvements in technology include the increase of the number of bits of a Sound Central Processing, the increase of Audio Random-Access-Memory, the switch from the use of frequency modulation to digital sampling, and the use of compact discs for playing music during a game. By closely examining the contribution of the preceding technological advancements, one can see that technology has indeed caused great improvements for music in the video game industry. The first technological enhancement which greatly enhanced the quality of music in video games is the number of bits which a sound Central Processing Unit (CPU) has. The sound CPU is a com .....

.... along like I have never seen before. But perhaps that is human nature, to remember the bad as opposed to the good. I showed up on that Thursday afternoon, with my three friends, hot, sweaty and prepared to be in for the best three days of my life. When we reached our campsite, the one we had shown up a day early to claim, we realized that city kids do not know much about setting up a tent. Without even asking the boys behind us set up our tent, asking right away if we were, "from the city". Within moments, we were talking like old friends, sharing horror stories about the drive up, complaining about the heat and anticipating the next few days. Random .....

.... let that stop him from following his dreams. He expressed some of his frustrations in his music as indicated in the following versus of the song "Stick to your vision". Remember when you labels wasn't feelin' me … Yo people used to say Wes wake up stop dreamin' Your fantasize, f#@! the rappin' it won't happen I paid my dues, brothers seen me sacrifice. 1 In Maestro's lyrics he often refers to the struggles he had to go through as a black Canadian rap artist. He certainly did pay his dues and it showed in his debut album, which made history as the best-selling Canadian rap record. Maestro is proud to be Canadian. He shows this in one o .....

.... Hip-hop developed in the Bronx of New York and has been around for more than twenty years. The Hip-Hop culture consists of break dancing, music, and graffiti. Graffiti is not one of my points because I am basically interested in music. Hip hop music was formed to get people in the mood to break dance. From hip hop music evolved rap music. Rap and hip hop music consists of DJ’s and MC’s who would "Cut ‘N’ Mix" or talk over music that they played. Another technique that formed is scratching’. This means forcing the record back and forth against the needle. A hip hop artists that made it big in the eighties was Afrika Bambaataa who was the leader .....
