Script for History of Hip Hop

Hi my name is Omar, I am from London and I'm going to be talking about the history of hip-hop.

Late 80s
The song 'I'm bad' by ll cool j is a classic hip-hop video from the late 1980s. I find this video unique because I like the way it was made and I like the parts when ll cool j starts dancing in the video. Another reason why I like the video is because I like the part when LL and his crew of friends team up against the gang that has kidnapped his girlfriend in the beginning of the video.

Early 90s

The song 'The crossover' by EPMD is a classic hip-hop video from the early 1990s. I find this music video inspiring because I like the way the song sounds and how unique Eric sermons voice is while rapping. The reason why I like Eric sermons voice is because no other rap artist can copy it. I also like the way the video cuts to the audio waves and then cuts back to a different scene in the video.  

Late 90s
The song 'The message' by Nas is another classic hip-hop video but from the late 1990s. I find the video interesting because it shows how it represents the ghetto life and how some people struggling in rough neighborhoods and projects in Brooklyn. The reason why I like the song is because it shows how Nas can tell a stories not just about his life but how he got to where he is today through his songs and how you can visualize it in your head while listening.

Early 2000s
The song 'The way I am' by Eminem is one of the hip-hop classic song but from the early 2000s. I find this video interesting because it shows how he expresses anger though his songs. Another reason why I find the video inspiring is because it shows the difference between himself and his alter ego Slim shady while in his music video and his songs.

Late 2000s
The song 'Stronger' by Kanye west is another one classics but from the late 2000s. The reason why I find this video inspiring is because I like the way the music video made and set in tokyo and how it was made in a futuristic type of theme. Another reason why I like the video is because I like the way Kanye was dressed in the video because it shows that he has his own unique style of fashion for example his sun shaped glasses.

2010s
The song 'Airplanes' by B.o.B is another classic hip-hop video but from the early 2010s. The reason why I like this song is because it shows where b.o.b was at the time and when getting introduced to the music scene. Another reason why I like this song is because it named the video of the year in 2010 and it also has a part 2 version feating Eminem saying what his life would be like if they never became rappers.
