i am re writing this because it wasn’t long enough the first time.  music has a very big impact on me, it helps me get to school in the morning, helps me get through my long hard days, helps me communicate with the people around me.  i love rap music and i love alternative music. some of my favorite bands would consist of blink 182, a day to remember, linkin park, rush, etc. My favorite rap groups are G.O.O.D. Music, odd future wolf gang, wu tang clan, new world order.  it was hard for me to pick a favorite song by kanye west, because he is one of my favorite artist, and everything he produces is just so good, but i chose “Good Life” because that was the song that got me hooked into him.  I can literally listen to Kanye West for days, he is really an amazing artist.  Kid cudi, as lame as it sounds helped me get through some difficult phases in my life.  He music is so mellow, and just so real.  He raps about things such as life, and struggles, not money, cars and girls like every other rapper out there.the two songs i put on here by him are two of his newest songs, and they are two of his best.  i have been listening to kid cudi since 8th grade, and he never fails to amaze me.  He is by far my favorite artist of all time.  i put daylight on here by matt&kim because it was one of the first songs i learned to play on the piano, which i play pretty good. Next what i put on here was basically rivals of different time periods, some people say odd future is the new wu tang..? if you say that you deserve to be shot, i put on oldie by odd future because it has almost everyone in OF have at least one verse, and C.R.E.A.M. by the wu tang clan, same theory.  Wu Tang is legendary.  You can not call yourself a fan of rap if you dont listen or like Wu tang.

The next rapper i put on here is earl sweatshirt.  many say earl sweatshirt is the future of rap, a dying industrial of sell outs.  But earl brings something new to the table.  He is the same age as me, spitting lyrics that are unheard of.  He is the light at the end of the tunnel for rap, which is good because rap and hip hop keep me sane.  But dont get me wrong, i hate mainstream rappers such as drake, lil wayne, nicki minja, they shouldn’t even call themselves artists.

The next song i put on here, punching in dream by the naked and famous has a lot of personal meaning too me between me and my girlfriend.  I dont want to share this on a blog.

A lot of people hate on mac miller but personally i think he’s the man.  his beats add a new “flavor” to the rap game. he is another part of hope for the rap game.

the final song i have on here is silver and cold, by afi, i put this on because i needed at least one alternative song on here, and i chose this one because afi set the foundation for bands like blink, adtr, etc.
