"Hip Hop Life"

I choose to talk about this article we read this week because in class Professor Williams made me really think about if anything was entertainment or if entertainment was anything that must be enjoy and personally I believe that it can go hand and hand. In the reading "Hip Hop Life" DeSean talked about how Hip Hop was basically a reflection of his culture, but I believe that it is also his personal choice to like hip hop as well as something he enjoys listening to. So for him hip hop was entertaining for him because he enjoyed it and it also  hip hop was created for entertainment period. To me if something is in front of me in order for me to be entertained I must enjoy it. But entertainment can be anything in front of you hypothetically speaking also anything attempting to entertain you. The "Hip Hop Life" reading while reading this article didn't make me think of entertainment being a reflection of culture because not everyone in a culture will like hip hop,.but when we went over in class and broke it down to how the hip hop music  is about real life and how some people live under center circumstances it then makes sense to believe that entertainment is a reflection of culture.
