hi i have to do a presentation in school about this theme and i think it would be great if i could show the results of my questions........so i hope u have some time to answer the questions..thx
Excerpts of the Eminem Song “ Rock Bottom”:
Ah yeah, yo!
This song is dedicated to all the happy people
All the happy people who have real nice lives
And who have no idea whats it like to be broke as ****….
That's Rock Bottom
When this life makes you mad enough to kill
That's Rock Bottom
When you want something bad enough you'll steal
That's Rock Bottom
When you feel you have had it up to here
Cause you mad enough to scream but you sad enough to tear……
But **** it, if you know the rules to the game play
Cause when we die we know were all going the same way

1. What do you think about this song? Do you like it?
2. Is rap-music your favourite music ?
3. Do you pay attention on the text of a song?
4. Do you think music can influence you? in which way (good or bad)?
5. Does listening to music provoke any emotions/moods in you?
6. In which mood/situation does music influence you most?
7. Do you think Hip-Hop/ Rap has a different influence on boys than it has on girls?
8. Do you think there is a “message” in every rap song?
9. Should the government censor lyrics of songs that are violent or expletive, for example in Hip- Hop Songs?
10. How old are you?
11. Female / Male?
