On November 10, 2007, Donda West, the mother of Kanye West and former chairperson of Chicago State University’s English Department, was pronounced dead at the Centinela Freeman Regional Medical Center in Marina del Rey, California. West’s death was unexpected, and oddly followed surgical procedures she had undergone the day before she was found unconscious in her California home. Since her death in 2007, there has been much speculation as to the cause, bringing about the investigation of Dr. Jan Adams, her plastic surgeon. The various complications that accompany any surgical procedure could have played a role, but there is a much stronger possibility that not only the ethical misconduct of Dr. Adams led to West’s death, but also his clinical misjudgement and malpractice that took place as well.
Having gone under the knife for a breast reduction, tummy-tuck, and liposuction, Donda West’s desire to soon relish the results of her newly reconstructed middle-aged body was short-lived. To confirm or deny the many speculations of why she died so suddenly after her procedure, the family and Dr. Adams awaited the coroner’s report. In the meantime, Dr. Adams denied having any part in her death, suggesting that she could have died from “heart attack, pulmonary embolism, or accidental overdose of painkillers prescribed after the cosmetic surgery.” He also stated, “When she left my office, there was no problem whatsoever.” However, between then and in the hours leading up to Donda
The controversial artist Kanye West has always attempted to make known what he thinks, no matter if he has to be disrespectful or graphic in his illustrations of said topic. So it wasn't a real surprise when he chose to focus his energy into reveling to the American public horrors happening that had a direct connection with the beloved diamond stone. West's 2005 music video “Diamonds from Sierra Leone” shows the corrupted underground diamond trade in the African country, Sierra Leone. From this groundbreaking video, West showed the devastated lives those who worked on the mining rivers live. However upon further investigation into the issue of diamond workers in Sierra Leone there emerged the true source of the situation, a violent

It was not until a few years before her death she started growing up a bit, finding interests and hobbies. She really got into natural stuff and homeopathic medicine and was excited to be an expert in something. She wanted to help people. It was exciting for her. It was nice to see her becoming the person she wanted to be. But, she never got the chance to finish the metamorphosis.”

One of the huge mistakes was that the medical profession did not value the family’s beliefs and knowledge. Her family was aware of her condition, and they had alternative healing methods for Lia, however, the U.S. medical profession did not value these wishes. Instead, they performed multiple procedures on her that went against her family’s beliefs (Fadiman 1997).
The main plot of this book is the murder of Emmett Till, but it also covers the idea of people expressing their own believes. For example, Harlan was not afraid to speak his thoughts of equality to his father. He strongly believed the mistreating to African Americans in the south was not right. He did not care if it ruined his relationship between his father, because he knew the South’s believes were incorrect. Mr. Paul is another character in the story that expresses is own believes. When Hiram asks Mr. Paul for his advice if he was in his situation he tells Hiram, “If I knew something that proved those two didn’t kill that boy, I’d feel obliged to testify, and if I had something that would convict’em, well, I’d have to plan on closing my shop and heading somewhere far away from Mississippi. But I’d speak up.”(Crowe, p.151) This shows that Mr. Paul knows that the right thing to do is to testify the truth and even though you will risk your life the moral thing is to still speak the truth.

No one was ever charged in the murder of rapper Christopher Wallace, aka. Notorious B.I.G. or Biggie Smalls, but I will show how a suspect would be tried if there were such a suspect. But first I would like to point out that this trial would be a media circus. To begin with the suspect could more than likely end up being one or more LAPD officers, a fact that the FBI has suggested in their report on Wallace that was released in 2011 (Federal Bureauof Investigation , n.d.). Then there is the gang aspect, Biggie had ties to the Crips, which he had reportedly hired to murder rival rapper Tupac Shakur, who was himself a Blood, just six months prior to his own murder. Subsequently, since no one has ever been formally charged in this case,I will try to use vague wording when referring to the suspect, and I will refer to him by of name “Mr. Murder Suspect”. I use the masculine only because there were no female suspects.

Flashing lights, money, and fame, for many hip hop artists these are just normal aspects of life that they experience everyday. For many rappers, this stardom came through gangster rap in 80’s and the 90’s.

While his other songs contain bass-heavy instrumentals and contain lyrics about money and women, this one is strays away from the previous structures. “All Falls Down” catches the attention of youth, with its mellow melody, to send a strong message concerning the overemphasis on money and education and how it can be harmful through the lyrics. The issues contained in the message are highly focused on the idea that money and education will not always be there
