Interview Responses

 

  1. Did you grow up seeing a lot of female rappers?

    "No, unfortunately not. I was used to always being the outlier, the only girl in a group of boys free-styling. They would always look at each other with raised eyebrows before asking me, “YOU rap?"


  2. What was their role in you becoming a rapper?

    "I wanted to be the person they could look up to and get inspiration from because that is something I never had."


  3. What inspired you to be a rapper?

    "When I would listen to female rappers, I would be moved by how powerful they were as they rapped."


  4. How does it make you feel to be inspiring other young women?

    "There need to be more female rappers for young girls like myself to look up to and feel encouraged. I hope to be that rapper for someone one day."


  5. At what moment did you realize that you wanted to start publishing music?

    "One day my friends were freestyling in the cafeteria during lunch. When it was my turn, it came to me naturally. I felt like I had discovered my passion in that moment, so I just continued pursuing them."


  6. When you compose music, what does that process look like?

    "I compose music randomly because it normally just comes to me. I hear something in my head, and I do everything to make sure I get that sound."


  7. Where is your favorite place to write?

    "My favorite place to write is at the beach when the sun is setting."


  8. Are there any instruments you play?

    "I know how to play the piano and the drums."


  9. At what point in your career will you consider to have “made it?”

    "I will know I made it when I win my first Grammy, but that will not make me feel like I finished. It will be just the beginning."


  10. What is your biggest goal through music?

    "I hope to inspire as many people as possible and later use my success to help people from my community because they have formed me into the person I am."

Genres

Today, I have researched various popular genres of magazines. Before magazines became mainstream, they were only accessible to higher classes because of how expensive they were. During this time, there were not many magazine genres to choose from; most genres were focused on literary and educational topics. When the cost of mass printing decreased, magazines became more affordable for working class as well. It was during this time that a larger variety of magazine genres became more popular.  Literary magazines were one of the main magazines that existed. They focus on the publication of various literary works. This type of magazine is more inclined towards educational purposes.  News  magazines are informational. They discuss important events that are occurring. Many news magazines have conformed to current times, so they are now online.   Science magazines are a popular type of magazine that are still commonly known. These tend to be less formal, but are also edu...

Questionnaire Evaluation

 Last week, I recorded my questionnaire results. Today, I will be analyzing them to determine the next steps I will take to create my magazine. The demographics questions I asked showed me that most of the responses came from females between 17 to 18. I received responses from Black, white, Asian, and Hispanic students. I must create my magazine in a way that is appealing and welcoming to all races and ethnicities. The majority of the students voted that they do not feel their racial group is underrepresented in hip-hop magazines, but some students still voted otherwise. Most of the students who voiced this opinion were white Hispanics and one of them was Black.  Most of the voters said that I should use a color scheme with neutral colors for my magazine. This is one of the most helpful aspects of the questionnaire for me because I have been unable to decide on a color scheme.  In addition, the top two categories that my audience voted to see are artists' insights on unre...
