  10. music used to be a way to communicate among different culture but now some artist use it to talk about unnecessary thing such as money clothe,b.@#$% but outside rap and hip hop music is still use for a positive purpose for example cover all the major issue of our society such as love, violence, political problems etc...

  15. Music itself portrays a lot to what going on to today's society and it speaks by itself. Music says what the people is suffering in the community and the whole world. The lyrics that is accompanied are powerful and they relate a lot to people especially the youth like me would may not understand what is going on. With music it will confront those not answered questions and make the person feel safe that he/she is not alone.
