Presentations

Today I just wanted to talk about the class presentations that we had. I thought they were all really good not meaning that I am commenting on mine this is in reference to the other three that were presented.
I am going to start off with the Milli Vanilli presentation. I have to say that before the presentation today I had not heard of them before. I know that is really sad, but it is true. I found it really sad when they were talking about them getting caught for lip syncing. I don't that that people or groups should do that, but it is still sad. I also found it interesting when we got into the discussion of groups or people being staged and not real. I just don't know why companies would want to do that maybe I just don't understand but it just seems kind of dumb I mean you are going to get caught sooner or later. I guess they could look at it as we will see how long we can go and how much money we can get until people find out. A question I have is why didn't the two guys have to pay back all that money when they were the ones that got asked to do it, why should the owners or record label not have to pay or did they???
Onto the other topic I liked the presentation about Dr. Dre it was really good. I didn't know that Dre was the one who founded Snoop Dogg and is now a producer. I knew that Dre had done some songs or raps. It was interesting to know that he founded Aftermath records and took Snoop Dogg with him and practicallhy made him who he is.
The most interesting thing discussed today was when the group talked about the east coast/west coast battle. It had been brought up in class but I really didn't know exactly what it was about. Now that I do I don't know how I feel about it. When they were talking about how 2pac got shot and 1000 dollars got stolen from him and then they said that it was Notorious BIG and he said it wasn't it just seemed kind of silly. Then 2pac died and the speculations continued to come up all the time and then BIG died and it is still unsolved. When I think about it I just want to know why rappers think that killing people, not that I am trying to say that it happens all of the time but in this particular case it did. I do plan on looking into this a little more because I find it really interesting. I just feel a lot better already having learned as much as I have this far.
