The Description


There is no secret that music has a strong effect on society. One of the biggest examples of that is age-old rivalry between the East Coast and the West Coast. My primary claim is that music is the biggest form of expression of pride, no matter who you are. And that instead of using violence, music can be a good way to express yourself. Pride in ones home is something that has effected many cultures and have led to many wars. By expression of their pride through rap music, it was thought that their "message" would get out to the people and that proved to be much more effective than they had imagined. This single example, is presented to show how through music, people are able to express their pride, as well as leads to the eternal war between east coast rappers and west coast rappers. However, their views turned into fights and this website should show how this form of expression can result in something as monumental as this battle. I chose to focus on this because I think it will prove my point that through music people are able to effect others in America whether the messsage be good or bad, and my playlist will highlight this enaging war, showing how influential this really has been. This war stemmed from music and pride, this is just one look at how pride, and arrogance lead to needless violence. Attached is a URL that goes into depth the rivalry between Tupac and Biggie...the biggest rivalry of all. However, when push comes to shove, pride or not, we are all one and through the battles in our lives we will all come together, like when the two biggest faces of this rivaly died provoking change, unity, and one of the greatest songs of all time, "Ill be Missing You" by P Diddy.
