Hip Hop LIfe

In the reading Hip Hop Life I thought it was very interesting, because hip hop is one of the most stereotyped music in the industry. In today's society there's a lot of stereotyping that comes along with hip hop music, and some of those stereotypes are the clothes and the way people talk. In the reading Desean Walker says music is not just a style its the way you live, and what I interpret that as is lyrics in a music mostly consist of the persons life and background not only what cars their driving or what clothes their wearing (lifestyle). I believe music is an escape from reality, music gives people hope in certain circumstances, and music is a gift in my eyes.
