  • Know Your History 14 – Comedy in Hip-Hop

    Image via Wikipedia So many people outside of hip-hop culture think that rap music is just about sex, drugs, and violence. I find myself having to apologize for hip-hop a lot.

    Commercial radio is often full of songs that don’t have much substance to them. The lyrics often seem empty or hollow. Artits are quick to make catchy sounding records that have very little to offer other than a nice beat and an infectious rhythm. Every now and then, though, a song comes along that makes…

  • Know Your History – Gangsta Rap

    Rap music comes in many different shapes, forms, and styles. To the casual listener though, there may only appear to be two distinct categories of rap.
