Off The Cuff

RAP MUSIC Rap music is one of the most listened musical genres, and I would say that it is the main music genre that promulgates freedom of expression. If you ask me, it would be a big mistake to ban "violent lyrics". First of all, I think that It has been very helpful for minorities groups like Afro-Americans, Hispanics...It helped them to be heard, and to fight and protest against racism and discrimination. A ban would mean censorship, the opposite of rap ideals. In my opinion, that would cause several demonstrations and controversy. Secondly, in my point of view,  there is no point in banning it, it would be a useless law...people would continue writing and listening to what they want anyway. Even if they penalize people, as I see it, they would start writing anonymously to avoid being persecued. To sum up, I completely disagree with this ban. They should not be banned because although its lyrics can be violent sometimes, they hold an important principle...

Everybody knows that music is a powerful "tool". It can be energetic or relaxing,  but it definitely cheers us up. We could put some music at school, do not we ? If you ask me, I totally agree with this idea. First of all, in my opinion, it would be a great idea . Teachers could make some rules to manage and still keep the calm during their classes. Rules like, to let students listen to music while they are doing an exercise,  essay,... But to turn down the music when the teacher explains. Then the teacher could put some soft music out loud to make lessons more dynamic and less dull. Moreover, students will be more concentrated  because they will not be distracting each other. Everyone with their headphones on...it sounds music to my ears. To sum up, I agree with this idea because everybody loves music, and the ones who do not, do need to listen to it if they do not want to. It wouldn't have to be compulsory to listen to  it.

The 70's & 80's I've chosen this theme because I didn't know what singer, band or genre of music to choose. I love a lots of bands and singers from these decades so a thought that putting all together to create a new theme would be a great idea. It was a bit difficult for me to summarize 20 years in 6 minutes but I enjoyed the research of information because I didn't consider this as homework .
