Abstract
:
I made a video montage showing the impact of a particular rap group of the 1980s, N.W.A. They were known for their music style, lyrics, and for "keeping it real". In the video, I included interviews with N.W.A, news footage discussing rap/hip hop, and the violence that was coming from it. I even included a newer interview with two of the members from N.W.A talking about how their music was relevant and still is to this day. This video does show some graphic and media and has two of N.W.A songs playing which may be distributing to some people. I hope you enjoy!
