"More Than What Meets The Ear"

Why do Hip-Hop and Rap artist carefully choose every word they sing about and what message are they trying to convey? This is the question that I will try and decode as I research three major artist and their work. I am going to try and find personal connections between their work and the way it consumes the audiences attention. I will be looking at musical lyrics along with interviews and fan websites to try and make this connection. My audiance will be a group of people who are curious on why Hip-Hop and Rap artist act and do what they do in order to be famous.
