I started my research on Ludacris the same way I start all of my research, by going to ask jeeves. I don’t know why but it seems like whenever I am looking for something I always start there. After typing his name in, of course a whole lot of wrong results came up so on the left side there was a tap that helped narrowed my search to find out just about Ludacris and not all the other random things it popped up. From here I clicked on the third topic and it gave me all the background information on him. I found out where he is originally from, his real name, and other basic background information. After I found this information out I started searching for different songs he wrote and the ones I found interesting I went to AZ lyrics to get the exact words and find out what the songs were really about. Just by finding out what his songs were really about and the environment that he grew up in the information help me out a little with writing my paper. Looking at the lyrics I felt that it was an advantage because I was able to see he his point was behind his music. This helped me to figure out what the argument could be for my paper. There was a disadvantage with me using Ask Jeeves as my starting point. By using it I had to do some extra researching to make sure that the information I found was true. Once I continued or at least seen that the information was in at least two other web sites I believed that it was true. I guess by doing this blog entry I did get some useful information for figuring out an argument for my paper.
