Refelction Letter For Unit 4

                         

                                     Reflection for Unit 4

                1)Well unit 4 was unique for me. I think that the unit 4 is the unit that i liked most. It have a lot of difficult assignments and readings, but was one of my favorite because this unit in particular made think hard and learned different interesting things. This unit was not just do thinks, but was to think more i think so this is why this unit is my favorite unit so far. I did different assignments, all different one was a little difficult, but the one that was more difficult for me was the song presentation. However was the one that i liked more, I learned with the presentation different songs, the meaning of the songs and i learned too that the videos show one thing and the song other thing. The same happened with the assignment of Lady Gaga, i saw a video that i really learned that she just sell the imagine because the lyrics of the song said one thing and the video show other thing like how the videos have race, adds, gender etc.. involved. With this 2 particular assignments "Lady Gaga and the Song presentation"  i learned that we need to analyzed the content of the video and listen the lyrics not just see it. I need to have my one particular critique.

     I read a article called "Same Old Song" with this article i learned how the music that was years ago famous  born again. The same music like the rap that shock the parents is shocking the parents of young people again like Eminen is doing songs about drugs, ganster etc.. is music that in the 60s exist, but is making shock the parents again. We saw a video and read a lot of articles about the rap and well a learned a lot because i did not imagine that the Rap have this kind of history. I learned that the Rap began from the African people the slaves who travel to U.S.A. The Rap and Hip Hop, began in the big cities like New York that began in the south side the poor one in the Bronx. The began to show in the subway the graffiti and so on. I learned too that MTV was the pioneer of the Rap and just show black people after big trying i learned that Micheal Jackson his firts show in the t.v was in MTV. 

         I saw too in the internet the top 40 in that moment, almost i knew all the singers were a famous the mainstream the people how have "money" to make famous. In the contrary, i learned other thing for saw the NPR web i saw that good musicians with good music that were not famous show in a different way. It was the kind of music that is not mainstream. Finally, i learned the different genres that the music have. i learned that it have the typical genre that all people listen "mainstream" and the genres that shock the people or is not so famous. 

              2) Well, all this unit was an aha moment because when i read the Rap resources i understand why almost all the rap singers were black. I understand too, why the famous singer are famous because is a mainstream music. 

        3)  A bumper sticker about my knowledge for unit 4 " Master Knowledge in music" 

      4)  I think that i learned too much things about music but one thing that i learned more was the Rap and now i can make a debate with  people who said something wrong about it.
