Essay from the year 2013 in the subject Sociology - Media, Art, Music, grade: A, City University of New York Hunter College, course: SSW 712.50, language: English, abstract: When it comes to the topic of music, I would believe my taste to be of an eclectic variety. I’ve always been into many different genres of music such as, but not limited to, rap, hip-hop, R&B, pop, country, alternative, and rock. Like most people I am drawn to the beat of the music but what separates me from most is my love for the lyrics.The lyrics that tell a story and speaks to a specific cause draws me in and allows me to get lost for the 3-minute duration of the song. One song in particular “Brenda’s Got a Baby” written by Tupac Shakur is a great example of a song that explores the all too common misfortunes of individuals in today’s society. Specifically, Tupac discovers and analyzes the intense troubles of an adolescent female from the inner city and how her struggle affects the whole community.
