2. Post two videos.

A Hip-Hop or Rap record from the 1970's, and one from a current or recent day Rapper.

Discuss how they are different from each other? Use the idea of modern technology and the current state of affairs as compared to the older one.  

3. Post a song by one of the Riot Grrrl bands. Do you think that the gender of the performers is reflected in any aspect of the music (e.g., sound, tempo, volume, or lyrics).  Would the overall meaning and musical result differ, if the same song were performed by an all-male band?  Discuss the various ways that the gender of a performer can affect our perception of the overall musical product.
