.... I always hear how cute they look but never how talented they are. The music that these bands produce is very main stream. You will never hear them sing about a controversial topic. If the bands did write and sing music about these topics, they would expand their range of listeners but they would also loose the nice clean cut image. I don't think that any of these bands have to struggle because before you know it these feel good-happy music groups are popping up everywhere. What should they do? When most bands start playing they go through many years of building a fan following. That's the problem with these groups. Playing with instruments would .....

.... hip hop has no music videos, songs barely played on radio, and a few know the situations. They also do this neither for the money nor the worldwide fame but as a love of their talent. A few underground artists have moved up mainstream music. The reason being is for (fame and money). Not for the love of it anymore. A person who has won the Scribble Jam back in 97, he is a well respected person. Now, he lost respect from many people. Reason of this was because he was asked how he felt about being an unknown artist into an artist who is well-known. He replied, “I know I lost respect. But I had to raise my daughter. I didn’t go to high school a .....

.... Once the musicians realize that people want not just their music but them as well, they act as gods, which no one can touch. For example, think of it like a secret dictatorship, and we breathe as a fascist society, which puts fun and feelings above the Lord, above all. Many of the musicians consist of non-religious people who live only for fun and only for themselves. Why then would we, especially as Christians, put our total devotion in them? It exists like wanting to ride with a blind driver rather than one with perfect vision. In addition many of the musicians use drugs and stimulants to satisfy their hunger for themselves and for pure fun. The music .....

.... types of music, and it has always influenced the ways people involved in jazz compose or perform. It has also brought out many famous people. Although jazz is not the most influencing music currently in the nation, its history proves that it is a great form of music with many origins, a multigenerational life span, numerous styles, many legendary musicians, and its own creative, independent interpretation. Jazz is over 100 years old, probably making it one of the longest, lasting forms of music so far. Jazz was not created by Europeans, it was created by Afro-Americans who descended from ancestors in Africa. These Afro-Americans learned how to pla .....

.... successes portray the dream that kids have growing up in the hood. Those kids dream of getting rich at a young age and living like a true "player" for the rest of their day's. They want to drive around in a benz' and have girls fill the whole thing. What these kids don't understand is that Too Short didn't get to where he is by pimping or selling drugs, he got to where he is by some simple rules discussed in his song "Gettin it". First of all, an important ingredient to the song is how it appeals to kids. With it's ghetto beat and monster bass the song is something that kids feel cool listening to. This is his first success ingredient, getting the atte .....

.... A ska band will usually have a bass guitar, one or two guitars, drums, saxophones, trombones, and trumpets. It may sound very strange, but it sounds good all put together. Not only are some of the instruments different, but the ones that are the same are played differently. There are differences in sound effects, methods of playing, and beat. Punk will use a lot of distortion, but not a lot of other effects like flangers and wahs. It is fairly easy to hear what they are playing. Although ska doesn’t really use distortion, they do use a sound gate that makes their guitar sound very snappy. Ska also uses a lot of unusual effects just for fun. Punk bands have .....

.... R & B had black artists for black audiences. Country Western had the least affect by Rock and Roll. People who recorded at small independent music business and put out a record, they were called Indies. The first Rock and Roll hit The term Rock and Roll was usually used for describing physical sex. Allen Freed was credited with inventing Rock and Roll but that wouldn't be to good for him later in life. The father of Rock and Roll Alan freed was the first white disc jockey to play Rock and Roll. Alan show in Cleveland was very popular with teenagers. In 1954, Alan's show moved to WINS. His nick name “moondog” had to be dropped. He adopted the .....

.... a big misunderstanding, so is peoples view on rap music. What we must do is get to the heart of the problem. SEX, HOMICIDE, MONEY, these are some controversial things rappers must rap about to get "Mad loot" (money). Its bad enough we grew up in a era where the slightiest thing could upset any one,like teaching masturbation in public schools or teaching about the creation of the world in christian point of view. We, the society are trying the screen everything, to protect are children from being harm. But its harm we are inflecting on are soon to be leaders of the world,for example tring to banned sex education from the schools,screening the TV from ha .....
