Study the lyrics of four rap/hiphop and country

While writing about your own experience with any of these styles, (how it has influenced you, how you think it has influenced the world and those around you) analyze these songs in terms of theme, sound, language, purpose, social-economic status, ethics and morality, sexism, classism, violence, prejudice. All of these themes play important roles in writing. Include background on the artist, the lyrics, the style and any controversies you discovered through your research. Quote from both the lyrics and the research.
