For the CD project I chose the artist Eminem. I think Eminem does represent the the values of my music generation just because I enjoy listening to rap/hip hop. Although i am very open to all types of genre music, I mainly focus on rap. Many others think that rap is a bunch of garbage and it has no meaning however going back to the roots of when hip hop was first formed, there is a meaning behind every songs. Eminem particularly raps about the struggle in his life that involves his parents, family, and the media. However, rap today is no where close to being the same as rap in the 80's or 90's. The beat and the topic being covered is all different. I can easily say that the Rap generation has involved.
