Project

__Goals__: One goal of my //project// is to explain how lyrics have changed from past generations to now. A second goal of my //project// is to prepare The third goal of my //project// is to communicate with adults and youth alike to gather opinions. A fourth goal I plan for my //project// is that I plan to conclude that hip-hop influence is heavier then people make expect. A final goal of my //project// is to interpret the different ways people take in and view hip hop lyrics.

__Vision__: How will my //project// impact other people after I have completed it? They will see that hip-hop lyrics effect the lives of Philadelphia youth in a negative way. How will my //project// relate to my thesis question? We will discuss how people view lyrics and how people let lyrics impact their life. How do I foresee my //project// concluding? It will be an interview of 3 adults and 3 youth, comparing and contrasting how hip-hop effects (or effected) them as a youth.

__Products__: How will I demonstrate/evidence that I was on site, face-to-face and interacting with people my //project//? Video interviews.
