Music
Hello visitors. My name is Robert Harmon and the purpose of my website is to share my music interest with the world. Worldstarhiphop and Datpiff are websites that you can listen to music through. Worldstarhiphop also has video's of urban current events along with music videos and interviews with performers, rappers, comedians, and even actors. Datpiff is a website you can go to download the most recent mixtapes of rappers or singers you are interested in. I found out about these websites when i was in high school and i have used them ever since. Music, mostly hiphop, has kept me from stressing as much as i could have if i didnt have music. My train rides to school go so much faster with headphones in my ears; without them I would go insane.

http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/ is a website that portrays urban media through video and most of the videos are considered entertaining. This website keeps you updated on current events about rappers, singers, actors, and even important news updates. Worldstar has posted videos for a social cause that has to do with animals that are being abused or people who have serious health conditions. This website informs us about many issues such as violence or crooked policemen. It also informs us about people like Barack Obama or even the late great Nelson Mandela. All of these events are portrayed through video. Worldstarhiphop.com is mostly for the younger generation because most people who are young appreciate the type of music the website displays. also, a lot of rappers that this generation listens to are only 18-20 years old. Most 30 year old people would not want to listen to an 18 year old rapping about "glocks" and bitches", but when and 18 year old hears how easy it was for a younger rapper to make it big, it opens their eyes. The background image is all black with the initials WSHH on the top left corner of the screen in red. All of the images that are actual images and not videos are seen at the top. When you scroll down all you visualize is videos. Worldstar’s background color is black shaded due to this website being mostly about urban media. I would have been thrown off if the imagery was as white as a ghost. In my opinion, mostly teenagers attend this website because hip hop is the main focus. When people go on the site they look for videos they want to watch either by searching or looking and the day’s top videos. They can also comment, like, dislike, and share each video to a facebook account, tumblr, or twitter. Worldstar does have videos from YouTube and other video website sources. This means that worldstar is a big company and is just as significant as YouTube. People can go on this website everyday and always find something new due to the constant posting and updates of urban media. the description of the website is urban media, but occasionally you will find current events about the politics, police officers who abuse their rights, bad accidents, and even exotic animals. A lot of the animal videos are posted because they catch an animal doing a very odd act or an amazing act. like how this cat was posted on worldstar because she was able to break out of her cage every time she was put in a new one. That is the money maker right there. In conclusion, Worldstarhiphop.com is a site to enter when you want to relax and easily be entertained. Everyday i hear people ask "did you see that new video on worldstar?" When i hear people ask this question it makes me want to visit the site more times and if this is the first time you ever heard of worldstar I suggest to go visit it right now.

http://www.datpiff.com/ is a website that you can download mixtapes from. This website works to feed us great music and keep us educated on current lyrics. I never noticed this website being involved in a social cause or political cause. This website was made to inform us about rap music. Besides titles of mixtapes, they also have the imagery of these specific mixtapes. These images give us a better idea of what we are about to download. The colors on this website are light grey with a black and green mix. When I notice these colors, I think of a giant boom box of the same colors resting on my shoulder. The language is in English because it is an American site. People who enjoy free hip hop use this site regularly. People can comment on the mixtapes or download them to their computer. This is a reliable source for music because it updated almost everyday. Sometimes if you go on the sit 2 days in a row nothing has changed, but most of the time they try their hardest to switch it up. Rappers like Joey Badass, Schoolboy Q, Fabolous, Rick Ross, Meek Mill, Chief Keef, and Kanye West are popular artist that are displayed frequently on the website. People respect and are great fans to those artist and that is why the site gets so much attention. The music is free which is great and you can sign up to the site for faster downloading. Sometimes if you are not signed up to the site downloading can really make you feel impatient. I discovered Datpiff.com when i was just starting out highs school so it has been around for a good amount of time. I suggest that if you have a hard time downloading rap music and you need a reliable source, you should sign up to Datpiff. Hey, it wont hurt. Datpiff does contain music but it does not contain music videos. This sounds upsetting to some people but that isn't the sites main focus. it all about listening instead of visualizing which gives you the power to make your own interpretation. You can compare it to reading a book almost. When you read a book you picture your own scenario based on what you are reading. When you listen to the words in the songs on the website, you can give the lyrics different meanings. The only person who truly knows what the song means is the artist himself/herself. I like both of these websites because they both hold topics that I like to watch and learn about or listen to through my headphones. The design of both of these websites is interesting to me because they aren’t like any average website. Most websites hold bright colors and bright images but these two have shades like grey and black, with the exception of green on Datpiff.com these websites are similar due to their interest in urban media and music, but are different because Datpiff does not portray videos.

Music can be made in many forms. There are many different types of music that I listen to but my favorite is and will always be Hip Hop. When a person makes a song, even if it is not that great of a song, it is still considered art. A person who makes something original and has passion for what they made is ART. Rap isn't as appreciate as it should be because some people hear it but don't listen. When listening to rap lyrics you should pretend you are listening to a poem. Poems are meant to listened to and be interpreted different by everybody. One poem can have many means, just like a rap song.
