Adventures of Urban Life

http://hiphop-life.blogspot.com/2006/05/hip-hop-jewelry-wtf.html

As i searched for blogs on urban life i came across this blog that describes the type of jewelry that hip hop artist wear. I found this blog interesting because it touched on some important points tat i have people dont usually think about. For example, that some of the chains that rappers and hip hop artists wear have nothing to do with their image. For example, the blogger states that a sailor chain or a steering-wheel ornaments have nothing to do with the hip-hop style.

This blog was unique because its a picture blog. in this blog, the blogger takes pictures of what he thinks urban life is in London. His pictures are well organized. The blogger uses different techniques to show different effects in each picture. i related this blog to our class because he explores his city much like what we did in class. The blogger also shows the different parts of his city and what he likes about London.

THis blog has a lot of information on the life of the poor in Mexico. I found this blog to have a large impact on me because i have been to Mexico several times and even though i have been exposed to some of the things described in this blog, there was a lot of information that was new to me. In this blog the author states that the main difference between "an urban and suburban area is in the communication and roads that provide all the supplies and raw materials needed for life." i found this interesting because this definiton differs from our definiton of urban life.
