Please view this link. I am wondering if the world of hip hop affects candidates in a positive or negative light. Positive aspects to me include things such as
image
celebrities create trends
geared toward youth
embraces african americans
Some of the negatives:
The lyrics in many hip hop songs support violence, drinking, drugs, etc..
Reflects the candidates image as being associated with supporting things such as violence
I think that the positives aspects outweigh the cons in todays society. However, I feel that some will detract from supporting Obama because of soem of the things that hip hop represents. It poses an interesting subject.
