One of the poems that really stood out to me when doing this assignment was Bring in the Wine by Li Bo. It was pretty long compared to the rest but was mainly about getting drunk from drinking wine and having a good time with friends.
The song i am connecting to this poem is Hate Being Sober by Chief Keef, 50 cent and Wiz Khalifa. Here is the YouTube version of the audio:

The vibe i got from reading the poem definitely reminded me of this song. In fact it was the first song that came to mind. Especially when i read a certain quote from the poem.
All i want is to stay dead drunk and never sober up
Basically, apart from the giveaway title, this quote from the poem sums up the message that Chief Keef wants to convey in this song which is his party lifestyle, the love for being intoxicated with drugs and alcohol.
Hey, Master Cen, Ho, Danqiu, Bring in the wine!
And here is another quote that i can easily connect to the song. In the quote Li Bo has mentioned two of his friends to bring more wine so they can drink it all. Chief Keefs verse and hooks on the song consists mainly of him detailing the drug and alcohol usage of him and his friends; Fredo, Tadoe, and Reese.
Here are some of the quotes from the song:
“Fredo a drinker, Tadoe off molly water”
“Fredo got a hangover he toting a Cobra”
“Reese rollin”
“Call up D-Money, now we throw money”
I liked this poem almost as much as i like the song due to the fact that all artists included were not afraid to show the fans or world that they like to party hard and have fun. Hope you enjoy the song.
I found it interesting that although I was reading the same poem, I got the different feeling about the poem and different song came up to my mind. This posting totally makes sense and I enjoyed the song by connecting to the poem. I thought it brings you the feeling when you have fun drinking with your friends.
