Music List #3

Still Blazin - Wiz Khalifa
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvfUCCbtHiw
Wiz Khalifa is marketed with weed he even has his own rolling papers so marijuana is very influential in his life and music. This is all this song is about but I still love it, Bob Marley was similar in that sense and he is an idol to many

Look back at Me - Trina
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OKxsWmcycg
this is literally all about sex I love this because Trina doesn't care what anyone thinks so if she wants to be in the business with the boys she's gotta get raunchy with them.

Rollin - Kid CuDi ft Jackie Chain
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeg1GRc4Fk4
Kid CuDi is also an artist who has shown and spoken freely about his drug use in his songs, this one is about rollin or taking ecstasy they also talk about weed, alcohol and cocaine and sex for that matter. It has an interesting view on the event they have been describing so I love this one too.

Passive Aggres-her - Wale
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67JFT6nKoRc
This is a sex song but with a deeper story to it, he loves the sex he has with a very passionate woman but she's "crazy" and extra aggressive and somewhat stalks him but still tries to stay with her.

Candy - Snoop Dogg E40 Mc Eiht Goldie Loc
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxbD-fG0ILY
Seems like every rapper was a hustler and sold drugs at one point in their time, this is another song about a rapper bragging about how good their shit is and what they got at all times but hey if I was a hustler I would make a song to boost my business.

She don't want a man -Curren$y
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeETZUKWQzU
I like this song because it's true that women cheat, and this exposes a wife who steps out on her husband with him and how not all women are happy with a family and kids.

Dick pleaser -lil Wayne
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EFS_r1OViA
LIl Wayne is pretty sexually expressive in a lot of his songs but this one just lays it all out on some of his relations with many women.

Smoke and Drive -Mike Posner Big Sean
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HoL8Fzbmns
This song is about smoking a blunt and driving around, not the smartest idea but a day in their life sounds pretty laid back.

Music Memories #1

When I was five was when all those big disney pop stars came out and please believe I was a fan for sure. I loved Britney Spears (and still do) she was exactly what satisfied my pop tart love. I loved Justin Timberlake and the rest of Nysnc as well, never was really into backstreet boys although my grandma wanted me to be. Christina Agularia was up there too.

I can't really say I had my own taste in music at ten, I remember listening to a lot of hip hop with my sister old school LL cool J, TLC, twista, ashanti, alliyah, early Jay Z, J. Lo, Nelly. I feel like I have come a long way since then although I was only ten. I also remember liking a lot of music my family played I spent a lot of my time with my grandparents so I know all those Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Bug Bopper and other classic 50's era songs. I also listened to a lot of Beastie Boys, Prince, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, B52's with my mom. Still love a lot of that music because it brings me back to more innocent times.

Around the time I was 15 I was kinda in between my scremo rock phase and all the hip hop I listen to now. I remember still liking bands like the used but at that time I was into weird techno rock like Mindless Self Indulgence and other techno music but I was beginning to start really getting into hip hop. I starting listening to a lot of Young Money (lil wayne, drake, tyga, etc) and some bay area hip hop because at the time jerkin music and the pack and stunnaman and young curt were still kinda cool. I feel like that has what brought me to like what I like now

music list #2

N****s in Paris - Jay Z and Kanye West
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXfrw_pSufY
I don't like the beat I don't like the message, to me this song is just about using media to get people to use their slang, and I'm not about that. Everyone always wants to play it too, I've never even heard the whole thing and I'm tired of it

Kim -Eminem
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3tlPgLPdV8
This song is extremely offensive, it's so terrible to think that anyone has this much hate for someone and will put out a song with this and still take the woman back, I understand that he has issues with his wife and mom and thats defiantly not an excuse.

Jupiter Love -Trey Songz
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4b0DMoPLIys
I hate this song, the beat the things he says it's just annoying to me because I don't like "slow jams" and my best friend insisted on playing it all the time.

bass down low -The cateracs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlCKoy_6Qtc
I really like this song, until it got over played and annoying

Runaway -Kanye West
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9eiufpHm5s
I can't stand this song, really I really really hate it. The beat on the piano is so basic and extremely annoying I feel if you're going to incorporate a piano in a hip hop song it should be better than this and the message is just awful, no way I'd ever be toasting to Mr. West for this.

Music List #1

five songs that really mean something to me.

Marvins Room - Drake
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mK1oEW-zito
this song speaks to me in so many ways. I feel like i've been on both sides of this situation, the female who's ex who has done her wrong and wants to call when he's drunk upset that she isn't with him anymore and the person who messed up in the relationship and calls them wanting to stir up emotions and what not. Every time I hear it I feel different about it and not many songs do that for me

Sunday Morning - No Doubt
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFzNr2GJ5wE
There are so many people that this song reminds me of but a certain someone always comes to mind> No Doubt's tragic kingdom is the best album for a break up filled with female angst that any woman can completely relate to. This song the most for me because I feel as if someone in my life would always just come and go with the breeze.

Soundtrack 2 my life - KiD CuDi
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyDcktys9EU
This song relates to me in every way. Cudi is an artist who is very different from other rappers and other people in general and I have always been different and how the fame has changed the way people look at him and treat him and I feel that he really speaks the truth and how he could have gone the way of hustling and illegal ways to get money like many other rappers did but he didn't and I relate to that the most. I have had a job since I was 15 and have worked hard for everything i've ever had and I see people make 3X the money I made in a day in an hour doing illegal things and it hurts me that they can do that while I bust my ass everyday, I feel as if Cudi understands me in a lot of aspects in my life.

Ambitious girl 2 - Wale
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REGfWA9mBVY
I love this song. When I'm feeling down I listen to this. I feel as if too many women aren't living up to their potential in life. I refused to become what most people from my area are like, staying around the same people going to community college and not getting out into the world. I feel as if I have a lot of ambition and motivation in life and I just want to live up to it and I feel as if most men are intimidated by that and do't appreciate that as a feature so it's nice to have a shout out for our ambition.

Gorgeous - KiD CuDi and Kanye West
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghc_fc4R1rI
This is a song I would never think that I would like. I pretty much hate Kanye West and everything he stands for but it's such a catchy song. It has a great hook with one of my favorite rappers and I love the guitar in the background that usually not something you hear in hip hop and if you do it's usually pretty tacky but I actually listened to the words and it has a lot of interesting symbols and reality in it which is usually not what mr. West's music consists of, so I can't always judge
