HipHop

The article DeSean Robinson wrote about with Hiphop was a very familiar piece to me. It didn't affect me on a personal level nor can I relate to him, but I did appreciate his passion and resolve. I like how he realistic he was about his circumstances (though someone may call it pessimism) and how hip hop music impacted his life a great deal. And there aren't a whole lot of kids who are as lucky as Robinson, who finds a way to escape the tragedies that happen in his neighborhood. The piece felt real and honest to me and it was a perfect example of how entertainment reflects culture.
