“RAP is what you do; Hip-Hop is what you live” KRS-ONE. RAP and Hip-Hop music has been compared since the beginning of these so similar genres. RAP music is focus on aggressiveness, protest and show to your opponents that you are the best. RAP began in the black neighborhoods, even in the latin neighborhoods. This genre took some rhythms from the hip hop, but unlike this genre took its own “flavor”, because Hip-Hop has some funk, disco and more danceable rhythms. In the first RAP presentations, there was a DJ who with some cuts and mixes made a composition that had the function to be a RAP-bottom resonant to give a MC or a raper a melody to rap on. There is a clear anti-system tendency in this genre but as any artistic expression, was to hard stop it or froze it. Actually this genre, more than a genre, is a movement because it involves dancing, and painting.  Hip-hop music goes by the hand with the RAP, like brothers, but these have their differences, one of those is than the RAP music is more cyclic, but has more lyrics I mean, has a deeper meaning an also can be considered poetry. In the other hand we have Hip-hop which has more dancing influence, like disco and funk music, anyway bought has many similarities, like for example, bought have a DJ making beats, there are “b-boys” dancing break dance, actually, this dance belong to bought genres. It is too difficult to describe the differences and similarities; you can mix Hip-Hop and RAP, although these genres have been born almost in the same years. We could say that RAP came from Hip-Hop; even many people say that Hip-Hop is the name of the culture, and RAP is the music of this culture, but it is not true. Across the time, bought genres have developed, for example, at the begging of the RAP, MC’s and rappers has not too much importance in the show, actually the mc just passed to present the DJ. The DJ made the rest in the show, like the Hip-Hop, started with disco music, but later took a different way, becoming the main genre listened for break dancers. Hip-Hop and RAP will be always compared, confused, even taken like synonymous. These genres have more similarities than differences this are why always bad information is circulating on the streets. Anyway, these genres always will be together; is your decision to choose one, and even to find the differences. The RAP, and Hip-Hop music came from the streets, we, the rappers, have to keep it real. Any of these genres have the essence from the freedom, rapping you say whatever you want, and with the Hip-Hop you dance however you want. There is a fact that people can rap on Hip-Hop music, and people can dance RAP music, but, to rap does not mean that in the music that you are rapping, is RAP.

"wars come and go, but my soldiers stay eternal" Tupac Shakur. I used to be a shy guy, and I reserved what I thought because i believed that I would look like a fool. There was sometimes that I thought that what I wrote was just trash, as a result many years I did not take care of myself, if like somebody were do it. All of this was because I did not dare to say what I thought. I never believed that I would step on the scenario, and one day before that event I got drunk, as a consecuence I had a heavy hangover. The hangover did not stop me, even it was like an included challenge. I felt like trash but it did not matter to keep me conviced to rap infront of the entire highschool, actually it was a personal decision nobody asked me to do it. Simply, I decided it, because I used to feel that I never had done something to be proud of me. After that, I noticed that I could do whatever that I propose to me, as a result I trust in myself more that before, because it was not easy, at all. There is no easy to tell to a public what you think, doing some RAP, even if you are a professional, I think. I felt great about it, even I cried a little, so it was important to me. After that event, I am more secure, I feel myself stronger and also I think than that event helped to me to regulate my angry, because since that moment I use to think more about what I am going to say, before say it. Although the public was not rapers, it was incredible, I learned to ask for I want and to show my emotions but above all at the same time to moderate my words. Also, I learn to respect someone else's opinion without to mock them, even if they were wrong. So, I feel myself very comfortable with that action, so i hope that I can keep doing these kind of things.

"as in the nations, like in the members, the respect to someone else's right is the peace" Benito Juarez. In Mexico we have a big problem with the educational system because it has not enough resources to support the students, and is not about money. Our goverment keeps the taxe's money in their Swiss bank accounts. As a result, many kids and young people do not study but is not just goverment's fault. Because if we, the people, would do something like be more demanding, these kind of things would not exist. Is a fact that people have to demand education but how do they will do something if even they cannot demand or protest for the higher costs? It is imposible to wait for something that we never ask.I thing that the solution should be make something real, like for example a "working strike" from every single private or public enterprise, schools should not operate if the books or uniforms are not for free. Where are our taxes? in the past, it was something without relevance to me, and i know now how the system works and how it could harm me. As a conclution, I thing that every single member of the society has to do what they has to do, and I mean that we cannot wait that other change our situation, because is easier to blame someone else for our mistakes that blame ourselves, at least in Mexico that happens very often, or practicly always. If is not suppoused that the goverment has to do everything for us, and eighter people has to be goverment's slaves.
