Project 1b : Rhythm wall about Hiphop music ( Individual assignment )
After the first group assignment , I was given another part of the project 1 , rhythm wall. For the wall, we have to design it with expression of hiphop music and add in the tagline ( keyword ). For my rhythm wall, i use the spilt water pattern to cut out with building on it. Also, i choose to use " Wrath of Menace "as my keyword for the rhythm wall .
The word " Wrath of menace " is actually come from a gangster rap style song, hit'em up by 2Pac.The lyrics in "Hit 'Em Up" were aimed primarily at Biggie and Puffy.Tupac Shakur viciously insults Biggie throughout, the first line by Tupac Shakur is "That's why I fucked your bitch, you fat motherfucker", and threatens retaliation in "Hit 'Em Up", saying "Now you're about to feel the wrath of a menace." He also used the song as a platform to express his belief that Biggie was guilty of stealing his style of rapping, and was merely imitating his lifestyle.
Wrath of menace actually bring out the writer's strong emotions and express to the public. Crime is illegal, but singing a song to release a feeling or emotion is freedom of people. In that time, most of the hiphop people cares a lot about brotherhood and living environment. When they felt unfair beyond on something, they can only express it in their song, their lyrics. Anger, violence, unfair , political and sociality problem.
Thus, wrath of menace means an anger's anger, much more anger than they show in their face but deeper and more in their heart.
The water spilt represent the significant sign of Hiphop, grafiti and the buildings represent that Hiphop is never going to tear apart with social and city. The flowing water spilt express more of the emotion.
The whole wall describe how hiphop blend into the city, how unseparated are among city(social) and hiphop.
That's all, Thank you......
