In all, we plan to research the ways technology has influenced hip hop culture. The focus will be on how it has changed the scape of the craft.
Jerome – How piracy is done and how it has been avoided in the hip hop industry
J – The rise of piracy and the average album sales in hip hop..over the past 2 decades decade
K – The rise and prevalence of social media and artists’ giving in…the rise of mixtapes and other adjustments they’ve made to market themselves as a result.

I like that you are getting specific about tasks, but I still think you are working with too much information. Any one of those topics would be plenty, especially if you want to cover 20 years worth of history! What is the most interesting/important aspect to you as a group? I think you should determine what that is and settle on it.
