Since I already believed music and its content could shape mood and tone for good or bad, it wasn’t hard to find lots of examples in my school observations to support my belief. The instances where I saw kids listening to rap or hip hop music in the halls, music loud enough for me to hear and to be a real distraction, also involved kids who tended to act out more towards classmates or adults. They were the kids who had more of a group mentality and were bolder in their actions as a “pack” than they would be individually. The old saying that what we practice (or listen to or live) we become seemed to have a lot of truth to it from what I experienced and saw. Sources Nielson. (2012, December 4). Rap and Drugs.
