Rap on Rap

I find it interesting that in this article, Rap on Rap: The Black Music That Isn't Either, that the way that the author looks at rap music, he doesn't see it as for blacks or as music. The author makes the point that rap music has been misunderstood and seen possibly in the wrong way by white listeners. He says that rap music has changed over time in the way it sounds. It has taken many different forms from the type of people rapping to the type of lyrics to the appropriateness of the way it sounds. The people listening to the music has also changed over time. Whites used to be very against this type of music, while recently they have adapted to it. Many white people try to adapt to the music by maybe dressing in baggy clothing, dressing like a wigger, a term used to categorize that type of clothing for whites.

Online Research

I did the research for my profile of a community member today. I found a lot of information on Tim Baechler. It was pretty easy to find the type of information that I was looking for. It seemed that there was a few websites talking about him. There was a lot of information that talked about his accomplishments and his awards. He has done a lot of good things with his football team. I can't wait to put the whole paper together and complete it. It should hopefully turn out good!
