Research Proposal

For my final project I plan on making an educational lyrical description page. I plan on using various songs, videos, and even cyphers to depict and explain what the artists mean in their lyrics. The best way for me to use all of these ideas and put them together in one final project is a Facebook page. My college age audience will learn about various types of raps songs they’ve heard for years and what each of those songs are actually talking about. They will learn about the reason some of this songs were created in the first place. They will also learn, a little if not a lot, about the artists’ past life and possibly moments leading up to the song.  I was interested in doing this project just because of how much passion I have the genre of rap music. It hurts me all the time knowing that the music I love, comes off to someone else as frightening and violent. It never makes me feel like that. I want to show other people how I feel and what the lyrics are trying to teach the people that listen to them. Also my dream is to work with music as a career. That is what also inspired my inspiration in creating this page. I just don’t want what I loved to be viewed and labeled as something horrific. I feel like people that view my page will be as interested in it as I am. Hopefully after they’ve viewed it, they might see the same things I do.
