1a. MoodBoard - Gangsta Rap



I decided to create my mood board on the genre of gansta rap. I found that this genre focus's on the idea of rapping rather than singing. The artists tend to be black rappers such as 50 Cent and 2pac however some rappers such as Eminem aren't. They tend to come across quite tough and their facial expression can be quite threatening to the audience. They tend to dress in black clothing which either shows of their muscles or tend to wear baggy hoddies and trousers that hide themselves from the world. Their accessories are lots of big 'bling' such as big dollar necklaces made of diamonds and big diamond studs earrings, they also like to wear hats and trainers. They tend to rap about life and hard times. The lighting tends to be low key which creates the mysterious feel for the audience and the dangerous effect.
