MEDIA EVALUATION QUESTION 2

2)      I would say that my magazine is definitely aimed towards a certain social group; the main thing aiming it towards a certain social group is the genre of music. You love it or you hate it. Hip-Hop is a controversial genre of music as most Hip-Hop artists use vulgarisms in there rhymes or taboo terms more than any other genre of music I would say, up there with heavy rock and maybe the occasional bad song. But I feel that these terms are only used to get a physical image into your head and to show strength and passion within the rhymes.

The fans of my magazine should be hip-hop fans that appreciate the music for what it is and the movement it has taken over the world over late, it is now in the charts on the TV and all over the media. Hip Hop is taking over the world at this point in time. I am trying to broaden the quite in closed social group that my magazine is aimed at by also including the sub genres of extreme sport and fashion within the grimy hip hop genre.

The artist presented in my magazine is a white rapper which is un-common to see in the hip hop scene all though over late quite a lot of white rappers have been coming up e.g. Mac Miller, Eminem, MGK (Machine Gun Kelly), Bennie Banks and others, these rappers all have similar styles for instance they all like the typical hip hop snap back, college jacket or baggy t-shirt and tattoo’s although they all do have defining features. This will make the magazine feel more open to white people as hip hop is mainly presented as a black man’s culture; it may also open it to the girls or groupies and make it more open more than just the heavy hip hop fans.

The people that will read my magazine are mainly classed as the ‘Urban Tribe’ according to the website www.UKTribes.com this means that the majority of my social group watch the TV, Listen to the radio or they read magazines. The main brands that they wear are Nike or addidas and obey or stussy.
