Author Problem

Strohl- Women in rap	“Iggy and Miley have become such thoroughgoing rap pariahs because they have shown wanton disrespect to the very form they borrow from.” (strohl para. 2) This explains how they have been gotten criticized and shunned because they have disrespected their own culture of their profession
Coleman-Women in rap	Author Elizabeth Colemen believes the female rappers aren’t successful because of sexism.This is interesting because personally I believe it is because of the overall quality of their music is why they are lacking tremendous success.
Strohl- White rappers	The author tries to explain how it is hard to critique white rappers without the use of gerrymandering. There isn’t a specific line set for appropriation of different kinds of artists. (Strohl para. 1) How do you draw the line cultural appropriation and borrowing something from another society? Author doesn’t fully explain exactly what that line is.
James O. Young- line of appropriation	“The first point to make is that the distinction between making and taking tracks, if anything, an aesthetic difference. Works produced by taking are derivative. Works produced by making are original.” ( Young para. 6) He is saying that when truly making or creating everything about your song is what makes it original and acceptable.
McLeod- line of appropriation	“Is hip hop “Black music”? Is it “poor people music”? Or both? Or is urban poverty close enough to what the popular imagination associates with Blackness that possessing such a background is seen as legitimizing?” ( para. 5)

In the rap culture, there have been a few topics that haven’t necessarily been completely sought out and have been determined. There have been rappers such as Eminem who has been very successful in the last two decades. He is white but there are other white rappers/artists  or even females that have been shunned out of the rap game. Females have also been affected when it comes to making rap music. Why? What is this line that they all seem to cross resulting in failure in their careers? Well, I am going to tell you the top concepts and arguments from outside sources that give us an idea to why this happens.

 Many people believe such as author Mathew Strohl who has explained his views as to why he believes this happens. “Iggy and Miley have become such thoroughgoing rap pariahs because they have shown wanton disrespect to the very form they borrow from.” (strohl para. 2) This explains how they have been gotten criticized and shunned because they have disrespected their own culture of their profession. Normally if somebody from another background or isn’t usually in your group of some sort, tries to join, but then disrespects your foundation of your group. The new person usually will not be liked upon the existing members. Another problem that occurs is, what are the factors of this appropriation line in order for other kinds of artists to be successful?
