Music is by far the best art ever made by humans. Combining sounds to make people feel a certain way. Some songs that might be really loud might inspire someone to try harder and to not give up in what they are doing. Other songs might be really soft and help someone relax while they are having a hard day at work. We hear music in movies so we can get a feel for what is going on in the movie. We dont know it, but we hear music every where that we go. Now things in music have gone wrong and inspire people to do bad things.

In the early 20's there was artist that would make love songs such as Ella fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and others. They would make love songs that would not only talk about real life stories and situations, but would make one fall in love with their music. Hearing this music would take you to a world with just you and that person that you cant get out of your head. For people that cant find love and have given up on the search for that special someone, music like this would give them hope again. This slow jazz is what I consider to be music for everyone.

Now we have artist such as Rick Ross, Bird Man, 50 Cent, Loyed Banks, Young buck that have ruined music. Yes, music is a combination of sounds among other things that makes people feel a certain way, but this music does something else for others. A lot of the teenagers, especially the teenagers, will look up to someone that has power, has fame, looks cool, fresh, has everything a teen wants. Rap artist fall into that category and the things they talk about are getting money, killing, hustling, smoking some MJ. Teens look up to this and want to be like that. Music can change people and thanks to this music, crime rate has gone up, people smoking MJ like never before, different styles of fashion, and even killings of gangs have gone up. I know things like this have existed before rap, but even then there was music that would talk about this. lets say music would not even have things such as killing, smoking MJ and stuff, would people be different today? If music would only talk about good things, would people do that? would the crime rate go down? I bet it would, but there is no changing it now. I LOVE LIL WAYNE!!! Still though, I believe that music changes people and the way rap changes some people is not good.
