I now have purpose

     Today I had an epiphany, the story arc that I will base my documentary on. Do you want to hear it… of course you do.

     The opening is still changing, considering what kind of tone I want to set I keep jumping from one idea to the next. After the introduction, the rappers will discuss how the got into rap and what motivated them become the change they want to see in the world of hip-hop. I’ve decided to talk about the development of hip-hop from the Sugarhill Gang to the N.W.A to Waka Flocka Flame and how images of what a rapper truly is have become clouded by stereotypical images portrayed in the media. All of this will eventually lead to the discussion of sensational rap vs. lyrical rap. At that time, both rappers will give their opinion on the “death” of hip-hop. From there the rappers will talk about defying the idea of the stereotypical rapper, their role models, and the power of rap.

     I know research for this documentary will go back and forth the rappers’ personal experience with hip-hop and the actual history of rap. I ran over it with my professor and it seemed all right by him. I think I’ve got the ball rolling, now all I’ve got to do is not drop it.
