Music By Janelle Monae

"I've never forgotten where I come from," she says. "It's crazy, but I really want to be the one to show everyone back home that it can be done. And not by selling drugs but by being passionate about the right thing and the right things will come your way." She pays homage to her parents with a signature black-and-white tuxedo she wears for every performance. "I call it my uniform," she explained. "My mother was a janitor and my father collected trash, so I wear a uniform too. “Janelle Monae is an American R&B and soul musician, composer and record producer signed to Wonderland Art Society, Bad Boy Records and Atlantic Records. Janelle Monae has a positive affect on society because she went against the odds and made music that sends positive messages out to women. She only wears black and white suits and tuxedoes because her parents have to wear a uniform to work. She does not use profanity in her music and she aims to uplift people in her music. For Example, her song Q.U.E.E.N was very uplifting to the black women and encouraged the way black women dance.

Negative Influence of the show Jackass


It takes a jackass to live a life in which stunts bring in the income. Jackass is a movie where a group of guys go around risking their health doing dangerous stunts. It has a negative affect on society. It gives a message that doing dangerous stunts with a group of friends is fun. In the show, they do not get hurt very easily because they were trained to avoid getting hurt and they also take precautions on the show. The show encourages the audience to take risk, which seems a lot easier on the show because they know what they are doing. The show makes you feel as though the stunts will not injure you but the people on the show gets hurt from some of the stunts and pretend to be fine until they are away from the camera. There are even members of the group from the show suffering from injuries and have to live with body marks that they receive doing stunt on the show. It promotes mindless behavior and there are tons of kids out there who enjoy doing stunts. The show is that extra push for them to do that crazy stunts they would be afraid of doing. We would have a more peaceful society if we did not have show encouraging stupid activities.
