Yo Help me out here with my Media Research

[Jay ay Beee]

Whassup long time no talk

I would appreciate it if you could fill in this questionnaire because i need some primary research for my Media studies project on the effects of Hip Hop on the listener

Thanks!

1) Do you think listening to Hip Hop has changed you in anyway? ie. Has it changed the way you view life, the friends you choose etc.

2) Do you think listening to Hip Hop can affect people in a negative way?

3) If so, have you ever felt that you have been affected negatively by Hip Hop?

Try and be honest

Safe

PS. Don't get freaked out by my new pic I've been reading a lot about the assasination recently

1) Do you think listening to Hip Hop has changed you in anyway? ie. Has it changed the way you view life, the friends you choose etc.

No of course not, it's only music!

2) Do you think listening to Hip Hop can affect people in a negative way?

Yes, but only if they are crazy or ignorant in the first place.

1)

• Hip-Hop Has Helped Me Appreciate Another Way Of Life
  
• Hip-Hop Has Introduced Me To People I Would Never Have Otherwise Met (Mainly This Board - Thats Probably The Best Thing Bout Listenin To It - Cos You Can Come To A Place Like This Where All The People Like The Same Type Of Things As You And Usually You Can Have A Well Reasoned Discussion!
  
• It Hasn't However Made Me View On My Friends Or Life In General Change - I Am Just A Better Person For Having Listened To It And More Able To Appreciate Things
  

2)

Yes - Most Definitely It Can Have Some Sort Of Effect

Look At That Kid Who Wrote Out The Lyrics To 'Rock Bottom' Then Commited Suicide

BUT!!!

Hip-Hop Is In No Way The Culprit For Anything Of This Nature - It Takes An Unstable Mind Or A Troubled Life To Build Up To Do Something Like That

People Who Claim To Have Listened To Pac And Gone Out And Murdered - Thats BULLSHIT - They Just Use Something Else As A Scapegoat To Give Reason TO Their Actions

People Who Claim Em Drove Them To Drugs/Alchohol - BULLSHIT - If You Have Any Will Power At All U Can Ignore It

Its The Old - "Would You Jump In A Fire If Someone Told You To??"

NO!


Hope All That Helps Jay Ay(Tha Realest Regulator) Beee!

Thanks Rud and KevB

(Translation)

BUMP!

[Hittman]

1) Its Teached Me About Other Cultures, Which Would Have Previously Been Unknown To Me, But It Hasn't Really Changed My Life In A Massive Way.

2) Yes. But Like Rud And KevB Said, The Other People Have To Be Messed Up In The First Place. I Truly Believe Music Is Not Anough To Make Someone Commit Suicide/Murder etc.

1) Do you think listening to Hip Hop has changed you in anyway? ie. Has it changed the way you view life, the friends you choose etc.

Its the music I love, what would i listn to if Hip HOp wernt there?  It has changed my life a bit, i got more creative(started writing rhymes/workin on hip hop sites etc) .. It has reduced my boredome
Its music, you cant live without good music ...
friends? well i have friends that dont like hip hop, but havin friends that like it makes the convo more interesting .... i can talk to them bout rap etc ...


2) Do you think listening to Hip Hop can affect people in a negative way?

Yes, it can affect certian people, :
ppl think liking rap is way too 'cool', diss other music gneres (pop etc) ... u see wiggaz n shit walin around,  They say "music is my anti-drug" but ppl start smokin when they see snoop for example ... most of rappers smoke , drink etc ....  kids swear more, think of females as 'bitches' or 'hoez' .... Voilate the Law ... commet suiside ... think life is shit ,.... start killing ppl ...shit like that can happen, and i've seen it happen ...
BUT .... if you blame that on MUSIC ... you are what I call a Retard ...

3) If so, have you ever felt that you have been affected negatively by Hip Hop?

No


interesting questions Jay ay Bee ... peace

2. yeah , some hip hop , but only dumb or nieve people let that happen to them



3. Naw not really

Q:1) Do you think listening to Hip Hop has changed you in anyway? ie. Has it changed the way you view life, the friends you choose etc.

A:yeah it has cause if i haven't been listening too it , i may have fall into that gospel thing that my parent was listening , so it influence me in every way i think , the way i talk , the way i walk the way i'm dressed up , the way i think , etc

Q:2) Do you think listening to Hip Hop can affect people in a negative way?

A:well i think no, but some people think the opposite, so it depend of the person, but even if the artist do thang u shouldn't do in real life or talk the way u should , u didn't have do act like this , i know many people who listen hip hop and all but still act normal , by normal i mean , hip hop it's kind of a exit of there life they listen it when they feel sad or anything but when they are in school or  at work , they don't think about it.... i mean don't get me wrong but music ain't never kill nobody (laughs)
