Blog post # 4 : Style Wars

Style Wars is a video wich tells the story, and evolution of the Hip-Hop & Graffiti art. It shows where it originated, and the purpose behind the whole movement. It documents a few kids who lived in the South Bronx. These teens varied from graffiti writer "kase 2", "Seen", "Skeme", and many more.  During this period in time this part of the Bronx was destroyed due to construction of a highway. Kids had no way of expression , and couldn't do nothing recreational either. Thats when it all started. Here is the movie so you can watch it your self. You wont be disappointed ! : Style Wars .

   

   

   

blog post # 2

   


     Media is a big part of any teens life. Today life is so virtual. I usually use Facebook on a daily basis. Hotnewhiphop is another website where I visit, to keep me up on music. Mtv is also my network of choice. I like to watch the TV programs they show such as jersey shore. Tumblr is another website I use, but not as frequently. Mediatakeout , and worldstarhiphop are also two of my favorites websites.


     These websites keep people connected. Everyone interacts, and it makes it easier to reach people.
     people use social networks just to keep in touch, and to meet new people. Tumblr is a different story. its a blog where people post , and repost pictures of their interest. heres my Tumblr :  http://kickscloudsanddopesounds.tumblr.com/ .
 

      Here are two more of links of websites I visit - http://mediatakeout.com/index.html , & http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/ . I use these two frequently, and it keeps me up to date with anything going on in the hip-hop community. I like to stay connected. As you can see Media is important and part of everyday life. We are only getting more virtual !
