How would a rapper improve their influence is:

Start to stop talking about how they can get girls, or talking about how they fight, argue, cuss, beat up. They need to start to have better songs that relate good things about people.

Chuol

They should rap and sing about appropriate stuff and to stop people from doing drugs and how to stop it from happening.

Rebecca

How I would do to improve hip hop music!

At the end of the song, they should say what not to do. Thank you!

Nyalok

They need to talk about not to do drugs or any other bad selections at the end of the video.

Kellyna

Hip hop can improve by not cussing, and not being bad role models. Not talk about the bad things like girls, money. Be a better influence.

Nyajuok

You shoudl start by telling people what's happening in real life and not just rapping for attention.

Nyakuiy

My favorite subject in school is art because I feel like I can draw or write whatever I can. It's just about feeling and expressing myself.

Julia

Favorite: PE
Why: We play games and have lots of fun. We play volleyball, basketball and have 3 weeks of gymnastics. You don;t have to worry about grades, you just have to play.

Least Favorite: Math
Why: There is always something going on and if you miss one day, you miss three work sheets. The teacher does not make the subject very fun either. We never have fun or play games during class.

Kellyna

My favorite subject is Art because I get to express my feelings. What is good for you is fruit, vegetables, juice, milk, and other stuff.

Latisha

My favorite subject is health because we get to learn about our bodies and how they work. My other favorite is art because I get to draw and hang out with my friends, but my most favorite class is P.E. because I can practice my volleyball skills and it's a great way to release anger. My least favorite subject is math because it is hard to understand and it is confusing.

Deyton

Things that are bad for you are smoking, drinking beer, doing drugs. Things that are good for you are fruit and vegetables.

My favorite subject is PE, writing, and art, PE because you exercise and there's fun games.
