Something I really like about these videos is how such an amazing thing came from places nobody would ever expect. One of the greatest things that changed the world came from a small poor area, really shows you anything is possible with a good community.

Something I really liked about the videos was seeing Doechii win her rap album Grammy. She's a really creative artist and she said she went through a lot and put her heart into the album so it was cool to see her be recognized for that. And, it was a big deal that she was the third woman to win the rap album Grammy. A common theme in these videos is putting a lot of passion into music and how relatively new hip-hop as a genre is.

Something that I liked about these videos is that they highlighted the unknown facts behind popular things. One thing that I liked was how the Netflix documentary highlighted that the producer of "Rapper's Delight", was a woman, Sylvia Robinson, and that there would be no mainstream hip-hop without her.

Something I like about these videos is that it talks about innovation and creativity. A lot of genres of music are pushed down at first, but than eventually, it can become the most influential, inspiring, and legendary music in history.

Creativity and improv is also very special, because you're utilizing and forming ideas in you're head in the very moment.

Somthing I really liked about the videos were how insperational they were. For example, Doechii's speech was like a call to action, for people that feel marginalized that dispite what people tell them that they still have somthing to give to the world and just to keep fighting.

Something I really like about these videos is how the creativity of these people were rewarded and recorded in the history of their culture. I like how the people each mentioned on each of the videos were grateful for their hometown/where they were from. They all show courage and bravery as well as empowerment of their culture and community.

These videos bring up the following questions for me: How do you think the culture and social environment of the 1970s influenced the birth of hip hop?

What role do you think DJs and MCs played in shaping the early days of hip hop?

something that i liked was how doechii showed love to her community and told black girls that they could do anything if they put there mind to it, and not to listen to criticism.

I really thought that Dochii's video was really impacting to me. She is a newer artist in the Rap/Hip hop community and she has gotten so far. Saying she was the 3rd female artist to receive a Grammy in that category was also really impressive. Her speach was also very inspiring since she came from a smaller part of Florida as a member of the colored community and as a female it is harder to get as much popularity as others but she was able to do it and she said that anything is possible if you just keep trying and like she said, she is proof of that with all of her hard work. I thought she was really inspiring

Something I liked about the videos were the faith and pride that these people took in where they came from and didn't embrace anything new that they didn't grow up in, in other words they stayed true to themselves and the people around them. In addition I liked the mentioning of Sylvia Robinson because without her hiphop be anywhere close to where it is now or just showing Doechii's words and personal thoughts on these different aspects of culture
