This play list says a lot about the type of person I am.  On a day today basis, I go through different events of mood changes.  I guess you can say everyone goes through this, but my mood changes are reflected in the type of music I listen to.  For example, today I would say I would’ve listened to R&B instead of Rap.  This type of genre of music puts me in a more relaxing type of mood, which allows me to wash away my problems and enjoy the words the artist are speaking in my ear.  Music in a way helps me get through anything.  It gives me strength to get through a hard day at work or even a bad morning before I go to school.

At first I wasn’t really the kind of person that lived my life through music.  I believed that whatever you feed your spirit is what your mind embodies.  For example, if you listen to Hardcore Rap everyday of your life, this type of music affects you in various ways.  Your vocabulary is altered, the usage of certain words becomes a habit, and after a while these negative aspects becomes hard to get rid of out of your life.  However, as I got older, I realized listening to music isn’t so bad after all.  It allows you to listen in on how the artist feels about certain situations and sometimes certain people.  You basically get the chance to have a one-on-one experience with your favorite artists.  These types of experiences can occur at any given time, moment, or place.

All in all, I guess you can say I enjoy the essence behind a well- written song, whether it’s Hip-Hop & R&B, Pop, Rap, or even Country music.  Music moves my soul and I appreciate great music when I hear it.  Sometimes it can be used in a positive way to help one become motivated to write a song of their own , or just as a way to get away from everyday life struggles we face on a day to day basis.  This play list that I’ve created opened the doors into my life.  Each song represents some sort of aspect that helps determine the type of person that I am.
