The Game

This weeks discussions on hip hop have been very interesting. I forgot that we had a guest speaker coming in on monday. I was glad we did because it was a very interesting presentation. Billy Drease Williams was a great speaker. He kept me interested all the way through his presentation. I became even more interested when he started to play his music videos. If he did not tell us that his videos were shot with a very low budget, I would have never thought that. I liked the idea that he presents himself as a role model and does not curse in any of his songs. This is something that you do not see everyday in most artists. I started thinking about what he said about the Ashley Judd comment and I agree with him. I did not see anything wrong with it. Some rap music does demean women and look at them as just an object. I do listen to some rap and I can say that this is a reoccuring event in some artists lyrics. Thats why I really liked Billy Drease Williams lyrics because they actually have meaning. I would definately like to see him perform live someday.
