Original Website: http://www.unr.edu/
Mainstream music is about what sells. It's meant for the general public, educated or not. It doesn't require much thought, it's catchy and easy to listen too. However, there is an underground world of music that requires thinking and is often based around current events, meaning anything from political to spiritual. Underground Schooling is not meant to hate on higher education, but rather to piggy back on its sophistication and drive for accomplishment. The underground music culture (in this case hip-hop) is full of bright, charismatic and skilled men and women who are spreading an intimate word of individualization. The incredible content of poetry, knowledge, and musical genius is without a doubt an education on the most talented of levels.
I think that you have a really big passion for what you were doing, and you got your point across well, but I don't think it ties into UNR at all. I understand the underground school, but I think that you could have done a better job at making the school part of it stand out more so it tied into the original website. Love music though, and i thought it was organized well.
ReplyDeleteYou started off with a good idea here, but got a little lost in translation. I don't see how the UNR website ties in to this at all. I really like how you have song lyrics from underground artists on the page. But you can also tell there wasn't a lot of editing to go back and make sure things were perfect. Some of it is pretty choppy. Good idea though!
ReplyDeletethis is an really strong page. it is very similar to my page. i also redesigned the unr website. i thought all your articles were interesting song lyrics and good choices. is it supposed to be like a hip hop university?
ReplyDeleteYes it is suppose to be like a hip hop university! I'm glad you got it...I'll check out your page...
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
