Quotation # 2- " Rap is something you do, hip hop is something you live."- KRS-One

Agree: All-inn all when it comes to agreeing on this quotation it’s mainly because music is a fragile subject and it can be uplifting or devastating and it can affect millions, so if it is not used carefully there could be horrible results. So when it comes to hip-hop you just can't do it, you have to eat, sleep and breath it. Also there is the difference between hip-hop and rap, it can easily be put as the same but that is inaccurate that’s why they are two different genres, so one is doable and the other has to be livable.

Disagree: A way to disagree against this quotation is simple because some might view the two genres as one and they both have to be livable or just do able. Also there is the fact that some believe that hip-hop is average too.

Quotation # 7- " In the hip hop community, its about how real are you or how strong can you be"- Nick Cannon

Agree: To put both of my responses together it mostly comes down to two things that you have to present yourself as real and strong because of the mainstream music in media today its about how much of a "G" you are and being real and strong is one of the main characteristics. Also in such a critical and mean industry you have to have tough skin and know who you really are so being strong and real are needed.

Disagree: A reason or two on why it maybe disagreed is because of that all of the jewels, clothes, women, and cars are usually fake and unrealistic. Also there’s the fact that people may see that those two characteristics are not the only ones needed for being in hip-hop or rap.

Quotation # 9-" Hip-hop is definitely not what it uses to be, which creative, original music was."- Missy Elliot

Agree: The main way this is agreeable is that the music now does not have the same lyrical genius it use to be especially about the depth of the subjects on what to discuss, such as women, sex, clothes, money, drugs and hardly anything more and its deveastingly sad.

Disagree: The main way to disagree the quotation that hip-hop and rap are two different things and should not be seen as the same thing and talked about the same. Also there’s the fact that it may have its still creative appeal it just transformed to another art form or definition of creative.
