    Summary Of Jay-Z By Gi Gil Cook

    Cook begins his contribution in this book by talking about the background of Jay-Z. He eventually gets to his main claim, that even though hip hop and black urban culture isn’t highly represented through mainstream media, Jay-Z is able to provide a media for his expression because of his developed fanbase. His presence within pop culture allows him to do this as well. Cook supports his main claim with a subclaim, that media typically doesn’t follow black celebrities around and have multiple news headlines about them when compared to white celebrities. He elaborates by saying black culture isn’t paid attention to unless they do something controversial, influential, or pivotal in a social movement. Jay-Z is only able to bring attention to the topics he’s passionate about because of his platform as an artist. He cannot rely on the media to represent these ideas because they won’t generate any media traffic. Cook rounds out his essay with his warrant, that Jay-Z understands the mechanism of black representation.…

    John Dillinger Bio

    The names Dillinger, John Dillinger. I got one motto and one motto only, “Never trust a woman or an automatic weapon”. I was born in 1903 in Indianapolis. My mother died when I was only three years old and my dad remarried six years later when I was nine years old. I remember it like was yesterday when me and my buddy robbed a grocer back in 1924 for about $555. Thing is, we were caught by the police shortly after and I had to stand trial without my father or a lawyer. I thought pleading guilty would help me out but I was sentenced the max sentence of 10 to 20 years. My buddy pleaded innocent and got less than two years in the pen, I was pissed. While in jail I met up with Harry Pierpont and Homer Van Meter. Pierpont had been convicted of bank robbery and Van Meter was caught robbing passengers on a train. What a perfect trio for what I had planned, I was going to escape. I was paroled on May 22, 1933, after nine years in the pen and went right to work. The jailbreak was already set up when I managed to get myself arrested just 4 days before Pierpont and the others actually made it out. Good thing we had become pretty close buds in jail so they didn’t forget me. I was being held at the prison in Lima Ohio when Pierpont and the others arrived one day pretending to be Marshals sent to transfer me to a different prison. When the Sheriff got suspicious and demanded to see their identification, they opened fire, mortally wounding him. They left the Sheriff there to die, freed me, and together we made our escape. When we got out we formed a gang named “The Dillinger Gang”. We robbed banks all over the Midwest, stole guns, ammunition, and bullet-proof vests from police departments. On January 25, 1934 I was captured in Tucson, along with a couple of my partners and transported to jail in Crown Point, Indiana to await trial for killing a police officer who got in my way. Of course I escaped and on my way out I stole the warden’s car and…
