MarkT:

'''Last wordism''' is the belief that victory can be obtained in a [[debate]] or discussion by having the "last word."
Some argue that '''last wordism''' is often a characteristic of "less intellectually robust presentations."<ref>http://www.cslewisinstitute.org/pages/resources/books/reviews/CaseforChrist.pdf</ref>

'''Last wordism''' reflects a lack of restraint, a characteristic of wrongdoing or [[sin]]. Christians believe that the the [[Resurrection]], which they believe was Christ's response to the [[Crucifixion]], is an example of last wordism.

MarkT:

'''Hip hop''', or '''rap''', is a music style that developed in the mid-1970s in the [[United States]], particularly among youth in cities. It became widely successful with its anti-establishment themes, sometimes even urging violence. It has two main types, rapping and DJing (which includes scratching records for added effect during the piece).

Like other forms of vocal music, rap songs typically tell a story, through the use of speech set to music. More so than any other music genre, rap is usually similar to regular speech, with the exception that it is sped up. Traditional singing is often only entailed during the chorus.

Some successful rappers have included [[Eminem]], [[Dr. Dre]], [[Run Dmc]], [[DJ Skip]] (also known as A2thaM), The [[Sugerhill Gang]], [[Snoop Dogg]], [[Notorious B.I.G.]], [[Ice T]], and [[Tupac Shakur]].

==Criticism==

Many groups, including Christian groups, widely decry the sub-genre of [[gangster rap]], because it often demeans women, strongly promotes violence as well as an overly materialistic sense of life. Songs such as ''"Big Pimpin'"'' by Jay-Z promote prostitution while songs like ''"Dre Day"'' describe the performers; Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre performing depraved sexual acts. Songs like ''"Where the hood at?"'' have become anthems for young gangs and some conservatives believe the songs incite listeners into behaving violently.

'''Hip hop''', or '''rap''', is a music style that developed in the mid-1970s in the [[United States]], particularly among youth in cities. It became widely successful with its anti-establishment themes, sometimes even urging violence. It has two main types, rapping and DJing (which includes scratching records for added effect during the piece).

The essence of hip hop or rap is to chant a message over some type of musical beat. Singing is typically only entailed during the chorus.
