i have to give a 5 minute speech on Monday (not tomorrow, the following one), and it can be on anything. it has to just be an "informative" speech, but it needs to be relevant to the demographic im giving it in front of, which is college students.

im a Criminology major, i cant think of ? to speak about that i know something about. i only like sports, video games, and things involving crime.

my TA thought maybe the process of getting a DUI or public intoxication, but i cant think of 3 distinct points for either of those, and we need 3 points in our speech.

any ideas are appreciated.

    take a few pointers from his speeches.

    Hand gestures, strong voice, a very distinct glare.

    He was very charismatic

    no no no he said he was a CRIMINOLOGY major

    "I told you a long time ago you ? little monkey not to ? ME."
    "Hey hey, who the ? you think you talkin to huh??!"
    "Who the ? you think I am your ? dough-boy?"
    "You wanna go to war?.... Wanna go to war, OK?"

    Comin up on half a mil, we build
    Get real ? , taking you on another one Son
    Uhh, Julio Igleasias
    Makin CREAM like that ?

    Yo, first of all son, peep the arson
    Many brothers I be sparkin and bustin mad light inside the dark
    Call me dough snatcher, just the brother for the rapture
    I handglide, holdin on strong, hard to capture
    Extravagant, RZA bake the track and it's militant
    Then I react, like a convict, and start killin ?
    It's manifested, the Gods work like appliances
    Dealin in my cypher I revolve around sciences
    The 9th chamber, leave you trapped inside my hallway
    You try to flee but you got smoked up by the doorway (blaow! blaow! blaow!)
    No question, I send your ass back, right to the essence
    Your whole frame is smothered in dirt, now how you restin
    While I'll be trapped by sounds, locked behind loops
    Throwin ? off airplanes cause +Cash Rules
    Everything Around Me+ black, as you can see
    Swallow this murder one verse like ? Degree
    Then analyze my soundtrack for satisfaction
    You adapt like a flashback chain reaction

    Just a minute son...
    AK's black bust back like seventy Macs
    I'm all that, street ? knowin my steez black
    Ron G, you know he coincide with me see
    Marvelous, Menace fo' Society
    But anyway, let's toast, champagne thoughts with Ghost
    I max the most shotguns through the nose
    Phonograph hip-hop put me on top
    'Lo wears, and Tommy Hil fly ? with a knot
    The witty unpredictable live ? , drive by ?
    Do or die ? , I'll take your lie and ?
    And then you know, I'm runnin through the penal, foul
    Four-toothed child was wild
    The old lady snitched, but ? it, you know it, one love kid
    No I'm not doin a bid
    Too much to get for what cause six ? got
    stuck, and the ? chain was truck
    Yo ? that, Criminology rap
    Speakers stay jet black floatin in the flyest Ac'
    ? ... bring it! Yeah..

    Much love go to New York City
    All my Tommy Hil' ice rockin ?

    Write it about how video games and hip hop lyrics desensitize young American men to violence and misogyny, ultimately encouraging them to deviate away from mainstream norms and values and into patterns of self destructive behavior.

    Or give it about how the illuminati has co-opted hip hop, that would be hilarious.

    i thought about this last night. id just need to figure out 3 specific points. and id probably have to choose either hip hop or video games, or else it'd be too broad.

    If you do it just about video games I bet you can find some studies on the subject, say video games are socializing kids in a destructive way, then show studies that either prove or disprove that contention.

    yeah ill look into it. the other one i thought of is doing a speech on the changes in the GRE, since it changed in 2011. and that would be pretty relevant for college students.

    You're an admitted racist. Just talk about why its OK for cops to discriminate against blacks and how blacks are the most dangerous race in the country and how it's a good thing the justice system is harder on black people than whites.

    That's how you feel. So no reason for you not to say it in your classroom right?

    talk about why major sports stars still get involved in petty street crime even after they get famous

    talk about how colleges allow athletes to take fake classes and place no importance on their education because they bring in so much revenue for the school (and the athletes arent allowed to get any of that money) so the athletes remain dumb street ? even into adulthood
