Research Paper Stage III: OutlineOutline for A – B, A – B Method:
Story and thesis: I love soul and gangsta rap, but they are very different forms of musical expression. They are different in 3 ways: Influences, sounds, and subjects.

A: Soul music owes its influence to gospel and R&B. Citation. Example of artist.B: Gangsta rap is influenced by hard rock, funk, and techno. Citation. Example of artist.Topic sentence for point 2: Next, soul and gangsta rap have very different sounds.A: Soul has soaring harmonies and live instrumentation. Citation. Example of artist.B: Rapper doesn’t sing, chants over samples. Citation. Example of artist.Topic sentence for point 3: Finally, soul and gangsta rap deal with very different subjects.A: Soul music deals with love and affirmation of the human spirit. Citation. Example of
song.B: Gangsta rap deals with the harsh reality of the inner city, namely crime and poverty.
Citation. Example of song.Conclusion: They are both very different, but gangsta rap is far more negative. Both “tell it
like it is,” but I prefer soul music because it reflects who I really am. (And who is that?)

Abstract Sample: First Draft• First, your MLA header, with page number• Then:
As a musician, I love both soul and gangsta rap, but they are very different musical expressions. The influences of soul are gospel and R&B, and therefore soul is much more upbeat and joyful, with harmonious singing. The influences of gangsta rap are hard rock, funk, and techno. The rapper doesn’t sing: he chants angrily against a driving wall of samples. The themes of soul music are much more optimistic, dealing with the hope of change in the Civil Rights era; gangsta rap deals with gang and drug violence. The subjects of soul are positive, such as love and affirmation of the spirit; gangsta rap deals with the crime and seemingly hopeless poverty of the inner-city. While I love both forms of music, and both of them “tell it like it is,” gangsta rap is far more negative. I find that I prefer soul music, because it is more of a reflection of who I am.
