Civil Rights Act Music

 This is America: This is a song by Childish Gambino. The song addresses the wider issue of gun violence in the United States, the high rate of mass shootings in the United States, along with other social issues which are commonly alleged to have been results of historically widespread racism and discrimination experienced by African Americans. In my opinion the song is alright but its not my type of proper music.

I Have a Dream: T"A Dream" is a single by rapper Common from the soundtrack to Freedom Writers. It is produced by will.i.am, who also sings the song's chorus. The song heavily samples Martin Luther King Jr.'s historical "I Have a Dream" speech, which relates to the song's lyrics about racism. The single release of "A Dream" includes two will.i.am tracks, "Colors" and "Bus Ride." I dont mind the song but it is the best.

Changes: This song was a rap that many African Americans used to express themselves over things that happen in everyday life. Many rappers such as N.W.A and Notorious B.I.G use rap to express their own situation; the most famous of all rappers is Tupac Shakur. In his songs he mainly talks about gangster rapper’s lifestyles. In the song changes he is expressing the idea that there needs to be change so that poverty and racism that African Americans face every day will stop. He also criticizes that African Americans need to overcome poverty that is facing them. This song is very catchy and lyrical. I like it because of the tempo and rhythm.
