RAW REPORT RESEARCH

To find information about my topic I went to the source. I referenced you tube as well as viewed the Shawty Lo edition of Raw Report. On YouTube I searched Shawty Lo and his Raw Report edition immediately came up. Since I had already seen the DVD numerous times, I looked up information I did not already have prior knowledge of, mainly the directors. I then took notes and wrote down key points about the directors. I decided to look on YouTube because I deeply feel that there is no source greater than the direct foundation. It is most hard to find new information about something that you are already pretty well familiar with prior to doing an assignment. I also followed link after link until I found myself in the midst of a place I had never been, the official Raw Report web site. Here I found even more data which I took notes on. I took notes on the real purpose of the Raw Report DVD series which has been manipulated. The perception is that it puts forth a image of violence and illegal activity there by unconsciously permanently burning there still images into the heads of urban youth however, the site states that it was first made up to promote the business, legal , political, and social aspects of the Hip Hop world. The advantages in looking directly at the source you are making an argument about are that you get the greatest supply of information. I also used other sources to gather facts about my topic. I looked at other rapper’s Raw Report segments and compared and contrasted different things, such as environments, influences and methods of explaining past events. My research helps my ethos appeal because it strengthens my argument by gives my paper a foundation.
