Rap is More than Music
Rap is the culture of Afro-Americans, the continuation of their language and
traditions.
It is a mixture of speech and music, actually it is speech laid on music or beat. And
when we claim that people are united through music, meaning every single human
being on this planet, rap unites the ones close to blood by music and then everybody
else, either welcoming or being unfriendly to a newcomer.
Rap is not the music for village like country music. It is the gathering power of those
united by music in big cities. The aim is to resist the unhappiness because misfortunes
are more dramatic and numerous in the city than in the country. 2 nos aA (6

around people, for people. If the words or courage to say those words are not

The law was meant to be phased in over time, but the referendum vote effectively put the law's implementation on hold until November 9th, 2016. Ultimately, CAW and those who partnered with us to uphold the bag ban in the Yes on 67 campaign prevailed. California voters approved the referendum vote of SB 270 by a 53.27% affirmative vote, proving that our environmental values can't be bought out by out of state special interest groups.
