In my essay I will be telling you about the “reel” and real. The term real, as you probably know, means that it is a fact. The term reel means that it’s not real but made for entertainment purposes. The term originated from the movie reel, as it is made for entertainment purposes. The reel started in New York 1970 and was tackling subjects like police brutality, which affected the black community. This soon became popular with in the white community. Small record companies took in the rappers and later in got bought by bigger record companies. In white suburbia they liked the music but didn’t deal with police brutality, so they couldn’t relate to the music. The music companies wanted to change the music so they could sell more records. They changed the music to make it more hyper violent, and all consumers admitted that they liked the music and even more records got sold.
