Importance of Comedy

            When you think of the word “television” what comes to mind?  Entertainment, drama, comedy, fantasy, horror, and sci-fi for a person to watch on a daily basis; television is a “telecommunication medium for transmitting and receiving moving images that can be monochrome or colored, with or without accompanying sound”. Television plays a big role in society especially when it comes to entertainment. When an individual is feeling down or angry. The best way to change their mood from a negative to a positive is turning on the TV.  Television offers a wide variety of categories, but the one that stands out is comedy. Comedy will make u laugh, change a negative mood, and jokes to keep you throughout a rough week.

           

Comedy was created to make people laugh. On television, they have funny shows on comedy central designed to make people feel better. Without comedy in your life, you can end up miserable because nothing humorous encamps around you. If you had a long day and you want a good laugh, the best thing to do is watch tv. Most channels such as comedy central, nickelodeon, cartoon network, and Disney channel were made for laughs; they’re also good with comedy movies.

           

Whenever something happens to an individual, it tends to change their mood for the worst. In society, stress is common in everyone’s life, whether it could be school; church, work, or just daily duties, stress is there. There are numerous of ways to deal with stress. One of the ways, is watching TV. Most people tend to watch funny shows or shows filled with drama. Once they do that, it is common that there mood will switch to positive, because the humor from the show tends to make a person forget what they were doing and how they use to feel.

           

On a daily basis, every student or person in general, can have a rough week. School is stressful, work is a burden, and having time for you is out of the picture. Throughout this all, everything you do seems long and rough. The solution towards that problem is comedy, jokes on tv shows will have you laughing for days, such as: maury, jerry springer, love and hip hop, house of pain, etc. These shows all fit under the comedy category. The jokes that you hear on these shows are uncommon. You never hear jokes like that, so all you can do is laugh. And when you do laugh, everything seems to not bother you as much, because you become jolly.

           In my conclusion, comedy plays a big part in life. Everything about it, brings laughter, and humor in serious situations. Without comedy, people would be uptight; they would not know how to joke around and take things lightly. Comedy has an impact on entertainment because every show that comes on revolves around it. If there was no comedy on TV, ratings would go down because viewers would not watch the regular dramas. In order to feel good and survive, you need comedy.

            

The Understanding of Hip Hop..

Everyone knows that music has a way of penetrating the ears of an individual. It hits the soul, therefore propelling a person to move their body or bob their head. There are numerous of genres in music that makes people think, such as: Hip hop, Pop, R&B, and Gospel. The feel of the music changes a person’s aura, it can infiltrate the mind to change the way you feel, also known as emotion. Hip Hop is the main genre that can change your whole aura, just by the lyrics, the beat of the song, and the voice of the artist; those 3 things alone will blow your mind away if you think about it.

When you hear the word “lyric” what do you think it means? A Lyric is a set of words that make up a song, usually consisting of verses and choruses. Lyrics are abstract; they are a form that emphasizes mainly on articulation, experiences, and also expression. When a lyricist expresses his lyrics, all you can do is just listen, listen to what they say. They could have gone through so much, that it hits you and it changes the way u feel. Lyrics are strong expressions and over time hip-hop lyrics changed drastically, compared to the 80’s. Hip-hop lyrics were fun and everybody could relate to the references of parents bugging their children, going to school, making jokes of the teachers, etc. But now lyrics are degrading women, packed with violence, drugs, and sexual references, therefore leading hip hop to redraw musical lines.

What comes to the mind when you hear the word “beat”? Violence or the thing that makes yours body rock when you hear it. Beats are essential in Hip-hop, which is the base of the whole genre. Without it, there would be no hip-hop, because with no beat being present, you will not move your hips nor hop to the track. You would only listen because the only voice you would hear is the lyricist. The beat has always remained the same; only thing different is the artist.

In order to pay attention to someone speaking, what has to grab the audience’s attention? Their voice, if a person goes up to speak with an annoying voice, there is a high possibility that audience would not want to hear anything they say; same thing goes for hip hop. The lyricist has to have an appealing voice in order to grab a listener’s attention. For example: Drake, Jay Z, and Kendrick Lamar. Those 3 artists have appealing voices and their lyrics are appealing too. If an artist did not have a good voice, we would not listen to them period, because their voice does not match our standards.

In my conclusion, Hip-hop has changed and sparked a new generation. The beat, the lyrics, and the person behind the lyrics can grab our attention and change our aura. Music is power in some cases, without music the world would probably riot, because whenever we get in our ways –anger, sadness, romance- we have to find a solution to cure it or calm us down. Hip-hop artists expound on every emotion they feel and we can relate also. The only thing that brings hip-hop down, are some of the artist that degrade women, and make a mockery out of serious things and situations.
