SUMMARY: Kuvo Radio was a radio station created in Denver to enhance the presence of their Hispanic community. The founding fathers of Kuvo Radio envisioned that their radio station would one day be a voice for their local Latino community. The purpose of Kuvo Radio was to start a music station that catered toward the Hispanic community of Denver. ISSUE: Kuvo radio leaders “saw the radio station as a vehicle for establishing a voice for the Latino community”. Kuvo radio depended on the donations of its members, instead of commercial sales because it was a “501(c) (3) nonprofit organization and a member of both National Public Radio and Public Radio International.” At…
For the y2k generation, Hip-Hop Music has been the center of popularity and interest. In the late 1800’s Minstrel shows served the same purpose. Throughout the various generations music and theatre have had a large impact throughout the community. However this impact is not always positive. What was originated as positive became negative very quickly. The minstrel show, which was originally intended to be harmless entertainment for the masses, came to be viewed as a form of propaganda that degraded and dehumanized African Americans; similarly, today’s hip-hop serves the same purpose by glorifying bigotry and degradation.…
Dr. Boyce Watkins debates with Michael Eric Dyson on whether or not hip hop artists should be held accountable for their words. Both off these men already know, all of the artist should be held accountable, however if we can put the artist to task to stop making that kind of idiotic music, will we have the power to stop that machine that has rob us blind but still put out recording artists slaves that get plenty but they are selfish and it good and bad to an extent? Dr. Watkins points out, that the fact of us and others being bombarded with these negative images of the young Black Male in the mass media, appears to be taking a heavy toll in terms of the self-image of far too many young Black people and in the way these young people are perceived in the minds of the…

By the mid-1950’s, stations focused less on entertainment programs such as soap-operas, detective stories, and comedy shows, and more on music, talk, and news. Radio began giving increased attention to music and the recording industry. Soon, local stations were adopting different formats, which were now ruled by the “clock hour” and developing their own personalities. By the mid 60’s over a dozen music formats of all kinds had been implemented, such as the Top 40. The Top 40 became increasingly popular and young listeners were spending more and more money on music that was being played by their local disc jockey (DJ). Record companies began to depend on DJ’s to play their music as advertisement for artists and new albums. Some companies were even accused of bribing DJ’s to play their music in a controversy referred to as the “Payola”…

Hit radio was a danger to the wages of “song-pluggers” (“Payola”). Radio hits likewise undermined old income streams.

How many times have you heard the saying “Old age ain’t for sissies”? Well that is definitely true! Just as we age on the outside, our bones grow older on the inside also. Our risk for arthritis, osteoporosis and injuries increases with every passing moment. Knowledge of how to care for ourselves is important to reducing our risks. Maintaining proper nutrition is an important element. We have to be sure that our diet is rich in calcium and other important nutrients. Osteoporosis is the most well known condition that affects our bones. “In the early stages of osteoporosis, there may be no signs or symptoms”.

“I answered the phones, talked to customers, typed and handled the paperwork. The fellas I worked with used to say, ‘I don’t know how you do so much!’ There’s no trick! You just get on with it. You keep busy and get through it eventually. It helps if you like the work, and I did really like working at Davey. Really, I liked it all! I liked the people I worked with. I liked talking to the clients. And I learned a lot more about trees. Way back when, when I just got out of school, I didn’t know what I wanted to do. My dad said I could work in an office or be a window dresser, who decorates shop windows. I wonder what my life…

THE SEEK BUTTON on the Ford’s radio is working. The downtown recedes. Miles of neighborhoods fill the windshield. The SEEK function locks on someplace in stereo, college FM probably. “Yeah,” a new friend says, “Whas up. Whas goin on.” The radio has another button, VOL, which gets jacked repeatedly while the Ford hurtles, happily, to the source of the noise. Not to the station’s broadcast booth on a campus across the river, nor to its transmission towers in the suburbs, but rather to RJam Productions in North Dorchester, where black kids from Boston’s now-integrated high schools-Latin, Madison Park, Jeremiah Burke, Mattapan-cut demos and dream of being bigger than even the radio’s new friend, a young man named Schoolly D who right now, at speaker-damaging volume, sounds darn big. “Before we start this next record…,” Schooly’s saying. The record in question is called “Signifying Rapper,” a brief, bloody tale of ghetto retribution from Side 2 of Schoolly’s Smoke Some Kill.…
The problem I will discuss is the misconception that an artist and their music is one in the same. People think just because an artist is naked in a video they must be wild and get around. These artist write songs and videos for our entertainment based on what’s hot in the world right now. An artist’s identity is very different from the music they portray to the world.…

To understand more fully the media’s role in shaping the culture of African-American experience, one must first examine the stereotypes projected by popular culture, such as MTV, BET, and VH1. The songs and music videos created by such hip-hop artists as 50 Cent, Dr. Dre, and Snoop Dogg have built a culture centered in misogyny and violence. The value of a man in music videos is determined by his ability to…
