  1. An example for this could be all the rappers artists who sing for all the issues in the community for example: drugs,elections and gangs.

  2. Music addresses an injustice within our society by expressing the voice of the people as a whole. Calle 13's Pal Norte, expresses an injustice when the lead singer says that the people still pray because the wealthy and the government are corrupt.

  4. I think music can address an injustice because it can talk about many things that are still happening in the world like wars, rape, racism, and many other things that are still going on that we haven't yet stop.

  5. Music addresses an injustice within our society as Tupac says "And I know he likes to beat you down alot" portraying the domestic violence women go through, and how tough it is for a woman.

  10. Rappers talk about mostly about drugs, sex, women, gangs, sex, drugs, and its just a pattern that keeps going. The people who listen to it like the adolecentes believe that its right to do all those things because its cool and they rappers are singing about it.
