Hi. I have to do my exam for my Hip Hop class. In the exam I have to write two essays 700 words each (double spaced). Here is the prompt:

1) Explain the debate on the commercialization of hip-hop in this answer. Discuss the debate as it relates to the legacy of gangsta rap, and then discuss a key example of transformation or rearticulation in hip-hop music as explored in the second half of class.

2) Compare 4 songs or tracks we have listened to in the second half of class, considering different approaches to voice or sampling. Focus on digital technology (autotune), production, and genre for this answer.

Focus on these 4 songs please:

• 2pac – California Love (Write about how the talkbox was used in the beat and it was essential and so on)

• Kanye West – Good Life (feat. T-Pain) (write about how autotune was used)
