topic

i have to admit that i am still stumped on what my research project will be about. i have brought into consideration many of my interests to try to come up with a topic but still i am at blank. i figured i really love hip hop and can realate to a vast audience on that but then theres the problem opf finding a question. i do wonder at times if hip hop music affects in any way the success ability of teenagers at a high-school academic level. ive found that often in my own experiances threw out highschool i found myself falling back a little more in academics when i did get really into hip hop culture, i admit when in a scence i became hip hop and lived it my grades seemed to decline along with school interests, but' it was so much so with my athlete peers as well, also i often found a look of shock and even so confusion on my advanced placement teachers faces when i explained on the first day of school my love for the music or when they saw me in the halls with my headphones on or at routine cyphers. even more so when i succeeded in their class room or wrote psychology papers on tupac and compared eminem to Poe in my essays. i believe ther is a common stario type shared by manny older and more traditional teachers that hip hop dumbs down students not only in class rooms but in society. now as of now my question would be if hip hop infact does affect students success rate at an acadeic level.
