"Hip Hop Life"

     I disagree with DeSean Robinson Walker's  opinion that hip hop isn't a style, but instead the way people live. I think it is the complete opposite. I think people influenced by hip hop base the way they live off of this style creating there own "swag" of what they think hip hop is. I think he makes a good point that growing up in the Getto isn't a lifestyle, these people are just trying to cope with there surroundings however it seems to be a reoccuring pattern that people growing up in these areas follow the same trends of this hip hop lifestyle.
    I think this article on Hip hop is very similiar to the article on entertainment because I think hip hop is a great example of entertainment that not everybody likes, but everybody knows a lot about. And hip hop is used in advertisement to try and bring in younger people because they know that a lot of younger people try and relate to the hip hop lifestyle.

Entertainment

I think entertainment is a personal choice however with all of the social pressures around us people seem to get sucked into entertainment that they don't even find interesting. For example the show "Jersey Shore". Not many people really like it, but just about everybody has seen it a few times or knows what it's about because of how much advertisement is out there about the show. I also think society tries to influence the type of entertainment we like by putting some music or images out there more then others. I think entertainment is a good thing because it can be relaxing, but i think the way a lot of entertainment appears in America is very munipulative and sending a lot of the wrong messages.
