Rap

In the early 1970s, a Jamaican deejay moved to the Bronx in New York and introduced the musical innovations that developed into the popular music style known as rap.

Rap acts used their music to take advantage of the political power of the spoken word.

Rock

The most known rock groups and musicians

• Rock appeared in th

“The Beatles”

"Rolling Stones"

"Queen" Elvis Presley

"Metallica"

Rock appeared in the middle of the 20-th centuries and at once entered to light dancing genres. The main feature of this musical style is a calling to a society and disagreement with the habitual settled rules. This call is shown in complex, melodious sounding, and in deep texts, often political or philosophical, and in external shape of musicians, and a manner of their behaviour on a stage.

Pop

Pop or popular music is the lightest style for perception. Its purpose is to entertain and create an atmosphere of rest.

Pop-singers make people feel happy.

Their tunes are catching and people can relax and escape from their problems.

EMINEM Eminem enjoyed singing since he was a little boy.

Eminem made a band with his friend named "M&M" and they released their first album named "Stepping onto the Scene".

After that the boys changed the name of the band and released another album. When he was 17 years old Eminem left his school and dedicated totally at his music. He changed the name in Eminem and started a solo career without his colleague. From that moment all the people knew him under the name of Eminem.

He started to record many songs and very soon he released an album. It was very hard for him to make this kind of music because only the black people were accepted to sing rap but he made a good thing and in a very short time he became very famous because of his songs. Almost all his songs were about famous people from the world and many scandals about Eminem's music appeared in all media .

Let`s Check Up!Somebody's Watching Me I'm just an average man with an average lifeI work from nine to five, hey, hell, I pay the priceAll I want is to be left alone in my average homeBut why do I always feel Like I'm in the twilight zone?And I always feel like somebody's watching meAnd I have no privacyI always feel like somebody's watching meTell me is it just a dream?When I come home at nightI bolt the door real tightPeople call me on the phone,I'm trying to avoidBut can the people on TV see me? or am I just paranoidWhen I'm in the shower. I'm afraid to wash my hairCause I might open my eyes

and find someone standing therePeople say I'm crazy, just a little touchedBut maybe showers remind me of Psycho too much.That's why...I always feel like somebody's watching meAnd I have no privacyI always feel like somebody's watching meWho's playing tricks on me?I don't know anymoreAre the neighbors watching me?Well is the mailman watching me?And I don't feel safe anymore, oh what a mess!I wonder who's watching me now Who? -The IRS?I always feel like somebody's watching meAnd I have no privacyI always feel like somebody's watching meTell me is it just a dream?I always feel like somebody's watching meAnd I have no privacyI always feel like somebody's watching meWho's playing tricks on me?
