Genres Homework!




Two genres I want to focus on are:
Rhythm&Blues
Rap

Rhythm& blues aka RnB is widely listened to all over the world. It provides entertaining music for different age groups.
Most popular artist would be Rihanna, Usher, Keri Hilson. I think this is because they are commonly known and talked about.Also a numerous amount of their tracks have reached no 1 for many weeks in the charts showing that the majority of people enjoy listening to them. It is known that these artists are so popular because audiences such as adolescents like to listen to these sorts of much and send it to each other increasing the ratings and popularity.
Generic conventions of music in RnB normally consists of the typical break-up in a realtionship,money,Love.
Hip hop usually consists of mcing, beatboxing, rap, djing. it is a culture of african american youth music. Well known artisits in this genre are Jay-Z, Lil wayne, Eminem, Snoop dog and Nicki Minaj. Their music have catchy beats Which can be laconic but nowadys the genre hip hop can be accompanied with rap. Young youths like myself like to listen to these artist because they are different from other artists and they know how to bring out their own personalities out which audiences like myself enjoy.
Generic conventions of Hip hop normally consists of eg mise en scene: flash cars, mansions elegant clothes
