M U S I C

Have you ever sat back and wondered what the world would be like without music? If there was NO MUSIC, what would be the point of radios in vehicles? No one likes to listen to people just talk all the time about things that they really don't care about. If there was no music many people wouldn't be able to describe themselves with a certain song, for some people they wouldn't even be able to tell someone how they really feel because sometimes their words doesn't come out right. For many years, and years to come music is something that people all over the world CANNOT live without. 


I tend to listen to rap (hip-hop), r&b, gospel, blues and many others types of music. 
    Rapping also known as "emceeing, MCing, spitting (bars), & just rhyming." Rapping can be traced back to the African roots. Before hip-hop as we know it today there was the griots of West Africa were delivering stories rhythmically over drums & sparse  instrumentation.  


Freestyle 
         Freestyling (spitting) really has no subject/topic, rappers just go in on any and everything that really tends to pop into their head. Although freestyling is something that is suppose to come to mind many rappers tend to "cheat" and pre-write what they want to say and learn the things so that they are already prepared.


Battle Rapping
          Is something that is normally done between two people in front of a audience. Battling is something that is most known on 106 & Park. 106 & Park has battle rapping every Friday which they call "Freestyle Friday".

Music is apart of my everyday lifestyle. When I'm getting ready in the morning I listen to music, when I'm on the computer I listen to music, if I can do my homework while listening to music then that is something that I will do also. There is something about music that makes everyone relate to something that is happening to them or has happened to them. I can play a certain song and just the memory of a certain event that happen makes me either happy, mad, sad, cry, hype, joyful & many other types of emotions.


Me personally I prefer more of the 90's music when it comes to R&B, the songs that were from the 90's needs to be brought back. The songs below are my personal favorites from the 90's and early 2000's.
