In the senior humanities class named Journalism, we discussed sound as we are telling stories. We learned the importance of sound compared to a visual story. We learned how to edit are podcast and how to pick out sound bytes that are important. For this class field experience, we had a sound engineer help teach us about music theory, as well as with our action project. For this Action Project, we had to pick someone who impacted their listeners and make a podcast of said person. I chose Kendrick Lamar he is a mainstream rap artist. I wanted to show people that there are rappers that began in the 2000's that actually have meanings behind their songs if they just looked, as well that not all rap music is bad. My podcast begins when I first heard of Kendrick Lamar and began. I talk about how Kendrick and what people think about his lyrics and him as a rapper. This project challenges people to listen to songs for the meaning and to use their minds to dissect songs to the best of their ability before making a judgment.

Hello I am AL welcome to my Podcast, It’s called Overnight. This time we are talking about voices that impacted the 2000’s.
This is…
Laylah
Do you know who Kendrick Lamar is?
Uh yes of course….
What does he do?.
he is a rapper yeah, he is a rapper i don’t really listen to him that much really like m.A.A.d city i think his lyrics are kind of like deep like they have some good concrete lyrics that have meaning.
Do you know what m.A.A.d city means.?
No
Play m.A.A.d city plays
I remember 8th grade and me and my friends in class blasting m.A.A.d City by Kendrick Lamar. We used to listen to that song everyday during lunch, not knowing the meaning behind the name of the song which there are two
Clip of Kendrick Lamar talking about meaning of m.A.A.d City.
And as kid I didn’t even realize that M.a.a.d city even the name had another meaning to it .
Kendrick Lamar is an artist he is very creative with his words, majority of his songs just like m.A.A.d city have meaning that people who aren’t paying attention don’t even realize.
Hi what’s your name and what's your age
my name is Manny and I am 17 years old
have you heard of Kendrick Lamar
yeah of course
what does he do
He is mogul he raps and stuff but he also has a lot of merchandise he does a lot of other stuff then just raps he is kind of like getting to where drake is.
What do you think about his lyrics?
um he is definitely the best lyricist in main stream
uh well I mean okay it depends on the teenager because I understand all his lyrics but that is just because I rap also so I am able to analyze because when I listen to music I wouldn't listen to it without analyzing it but um I think Kendrick has his lyrics going for him but as well as his flow is going for him
Do you also think that goes for his videos because I know a lot of his videos are controversial but most don’t notice because they are like it’s a rap song why do I care about the video.
um yeah his videos are pretty entertaining but people don’t really pay attention to them but they should though.
Thank you.
Kendrick Lamar talking about Swimming pools and the meaning behind it.
I agree with my interviewer Kendrick Lamar’s flow makes teenagers want to listen to the song. but he also talks about current events he brings it to life in his videos and lyrics. the song he talks about has a line “ Police wanna kill us in the streets for sure” He is talking about the crime that has happened on the news where black men and women are be shot for black and wearing a hoodie or walking around night or just being outside which is bad where supposed to be a world for every one is accepted you can be gay straight black white Asian these kids are being shot for being or live or being around at a certain time at night and the police who are supposed to be protect and serve us are harming us.
Poetic justice song to end out
