Topic, Thesis, and Proposal

Topic:

Hiphop Culture on Good Influence

Thesis:

While many people have a stereotype of hip-hop culture, they think that hip-hop

culture symbolizes dark and negative elements, such as drugs, gangs, and murder, but in fact,

hip-hop is a culture with a lot of positive value and influence.

Proposal:

Many raps convey a positive influence, such as Drake’s God’s plan. Some rapper

songs are also persuading people to stay away from violence, receive school education, help

others, take care of their families and change their own destiny. And hip-hop artists are a way

for many underrepresented groups to speak out. They use hip-hop music to express their

social and political issues and attitudes. And hip-hop culture brings people together in

different ways.
