Re: Challenge check in #2

As of now the challenge I was given is going very well. Recently I was able to watch “Runaway” by Kanye West, and “Picasso Baby” by Jay Z.  I have been able to analyze both videos very well, and it has been very intriguing.

Both videos display hip-hop in different ways. In Kanye’s video he displays hip-hop with bright colors, and a very interesting mysterious story. While Jay-Z’s video displays hip-hop as an art. He also shows how he interacts with his audience, and how larger or smaller settings differ. Both videos are very different in showing their opinions of hip-hop.

Yet both videos are able to complement themselves still. They are able to show how hip-hop is a kind of art. Also how hip-hop is very expressive; hip-hop allows anyone to be able to express themselves in anyway they would like.
