Stronger By:Kanye West

Stronger is my favorite song by Kanye. He talks about how all of the hard stuff and conflicts you have in your life can make you grow and become stronger. Also it talks about how the harder you work, the better you will be. In school, i can relate to this because the harder you work, the better you will do. Everything that you go through in life will help you out in the future.

Kayne West definetly represents the values of my generation. In this generation, hip-hop is loved by most young teenagers. Kanye's lyrics and charisma makes people want to listen to him.
Also, Technology in this generation is huge. Kayne West makes his musical beats using technology and works with other artists (Daf Punk) who also use technology in their music. Kanye West has influenced rappers to do new things with their music. He has added soul and creativity to hip-hop. Today, the values of America are to work hard and speak your mind. Kanye has worked very hard for his fans and his music career. In most of his songs, he explains the good and bad in society today, sometimes even mentioning the struggles America has had with 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, ect. Kayne West represents American hip-hop culture.

Elvis in the 50's was worshiped by so many teenagers. There are so many young pop stars and bands that are worshiped by teenagers today. Teenagers in the 1950's started to rebel against their parents and listen to Elvis. Today, parents do not understand why their children worship britney spears, chris brown, ect.
