Conclusion
During my semester in this class, my knowledge of Hip-Hop and the background of it has expanded on a whole different level. At first when I started, all I knew was simple and basic stuff about Hip-Hop. I never really knew who created Hip-Hop or where it originated. I’m glad I have the knowledge I have today of Hip-Hop, so can I can spread my findings to the youth and let them learn why they are really listening to Hip-Hop and what people had to go through in order to make it happen. As a writer in the beginning of the class I didn't really know how to critique readings and video’s but once we started to do thought paper’s, I learned that all of your information is coming from deep down in your heart and how you really feel about the situation. I want to take this time today to congratulate and say thank you to Professor Miletsky for building me into wiser person, writer and listener of the game of Hip-Hop. You pointed me into the right direction, and all I had to do was follow them.
Hip-hop has done so much for racial relations, and I don't think it's given the proper credit. It has changed America immensely. I'm going to make a very bold statement: Hip-hop has done more than any leader, politician, or anyone to improve race relations. -Jay-z
