Renegades of Funk

Rage Against the machine covered this song. It was originally written by Afrika Bambata. This song had a fast beat and it is a likable song. It has cool lyrics and Rage Against the Machine incorporates lots of guitar in this song. The chorus is "We're the Renegades of Funk." This song is definetly considered funk in the terms of genre, and the lyrics show a lot about what genre/tempo the band sings at.

Rage Against the Machine

My chosen artist does represent the values of our generation. Rage Against the Machine incorporates lots of guitar in their music and they have a fast paced tempo with the lyrics being screamed in most of their songs. I think this generation is likes to hear that kind of beat. In terms of their genre, many people say that they incorporate rap, funk, metal, and hard rock in their songs. Many bands that are successful have this variety of genres and people enjoy the wide genres of music today.

The King

Elvis was definitely a huge name in music and American history. Some people disliked his style and the way he moved on stage. However, many more people liked his new style. It was different and really incorporated a lot of dance in it. Elvis was a big star during the civil rights movement, and his music eventually helped bring blacks and whites together. His music brought people together, regardless of race to enjoy some exciting music.
