Both of these articles were discussing whether or not music should have political stances and what if they do take some kind of political stance will it be as good as one that doesn’t.  The first article was about Trinidad and the music that they which is called “calypso.” It is similar to rap and good beats in the back and many of the lyrics are about the government and how it is unfair. Some songs seem happy and upbeat but deal with the Trinidad people hating white people, and the white people that listen to the music have no idea what the song is about.  The other article is about how when political issues are mixed with music and how it is tough to get the right combination of the two to make a good song.

I personally disagree I enjoy having political issues in songs. It is just another way to express the way people think about them and sometimes how to deal with them. It has also made many new types of genres and people have made a lot of money off of those songs. I would also consider political songs like the Grand ole Flag, America, God Bless America. If that is so these songs are great way to mix politics and music into one great combination.
