Essay Assignment Due Tuesday 3/29
Persuasive Essay
The Following Two links are to provide you with food for thought on a question that may be unfamiliar to you.
Music historians, critics, fans, and even recording artists have divergent opinions as to the state of Hip Hop in 2016. Russell Simmons sees it one way Hip Hop is Alive while Oakland Historian and Professor Davey D. Believes Quite the Opposite
After examining both perspectives compose a persuasive essay (26 lines and yes I understand this is ridiculously limiting) that defends or challenges the following: Hip Hop is Dead.
