For the final project, I decided to make a documentary on the history and evolution of Rap music. I took the time to research how rap began as well as interviewing a fellow student who writes and records his own music. Rap has a rich background and I was able to find an interview conducted with Eminem, Marshal Mathers, on how he became inspired to begin rapping. His well known movie 8 Mile had scenes with rap battles. Rap battles were one of the very beginnings of rap where artists would use verbal abuse through rhyme to compete against opponents. With Steve's interview as well as a lot of research, I was able to make a documentary based on how this genre of music has really evolved. There are so many different types of rap and it was fun to go through how it started as well as seeing how it is made today. I really liked putting this piece together and recording my voice reciting the background of rap.
