However the definition that you provide in the very first paragraph clears it all up. <br />I enjoy how your writing is very personal. As someone who isn’t huge fan of hip-hop nor the artists involved I appreciated your hyper links to more information about the topics. <br />It is very interesting to read that you have gone from being somehow who feared Muslims to being someone who appreciates their music and their message. <br />By providing the YouTube clip of Lowkey’s song you are providing your reader with a direct example of what you are trying to say. I really enjoyed listening to the song and understanding your point of view and how this artist has changed the way in which you think. <br />Regardless Of th fact that I am not a fan of hip hop I side with you in saying that music has the ability to change the way we think. To affect us sometimes more than the artist may have intended. <br />laura perretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04365630387196728399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011384430570971894.post-66496717652905067822013-09-24T22:19:33.362-07:002013-09-24T22:19:33.362-07:00Hey rusty really insightful blog you have written ...Hey rusty really insightful blog you have written here. The quote you used at the start was a good choice, relevant and made me want to read on. The photo of the Muslim with the paper headlines is a good one hammering the point home of the labels that are placed on them. How you talked about your personal beliefs from start to finish where you had a bad belief of Muslims to where you literally fell in love with one should be a movie. The page looks great I like the colour black with white text, it’s structured well and gave me a few good links to try out. Good stuff I could see this post meant a lot to you and I enjoyed reading it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13840100920723133881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011384430570971894.post-6644239374935828272013-09-19T22:42:12.714-07:002013-09-19T22:42:12.714-07:00Hi Rusty,

I think this adds great depth and consideration to your post. It shows your ability to question the media and its influential stance in Australia. <br /><br />It is a very concise and well thought out post! Well done!IndiaNichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13785269516876386831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011384430570971894.post-37816037817937885012013-08-17T02:23:18.121-07:002013-08-17T02:23:18.121-07:00Hi Rusty, I really enjoyed reading your post for t...Hi Rusty, I really enjoyed reading your post for this topic, and what a fateful turn of events! It is interesting but unsurprising to see how many people chose music for this week’s topic, as I am sure you would agree that music is such a powerful medium for sending messages and influencing perceptions. <br /><br />It is unfortunate but so true regarding the discourse surrounding Islam, and the image you used in your blog definitely re-iterated your points about hegemony. I had a listen to the video and there are some really thought-provoking lyrics in that song. I had never really heard of conscious hip-hop before this post, so thank-you for sharing and keep it up!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12533478047642501994noreply@blogger.com
