Quotes:

1) "Profound cultural force..American a society impact everywhere: in marketing, advertising, representations, and images"
- This quote stuck out too me because of the emphasis on how hip hop is everywhere. Its in our daily lives and may not even know it unless we look harder through the lens.

2) "Gangster, Pimp and Hoe trinity are the images that take over commercial hip hop from the mid 90s, there's a market for it."
- I picked this quote because it is very true. Hip hop is portrayed on TV, which allows children to see how children their age act. This then makes them think that, that is how they have to act or dress. These are the stereotypes that children/teens are faced with daily.

3) "Vulnerability is the biggest Achilles Heel".
-This quote Is shown through artists' work. In their songs they portray what their life is like and the particular things they like to have in it. For example: Money,cars, girlfriends, or their house. Most of the songs of these gangsters or pimps have some variety of these things in them.

Comments/ Questions/Points:

This video was very interesting. I hadn't really thought too in depth of hip hop, but this video had allowed me to think more into hip hop and the culture behind it. Also, how hip hop is still involved in our daily lives.
