Music (PB)

One of my passions is Music. I listen to music all the time; I listen to music when I’m home, when I’m on the train, when I’m playing games, and when I’m doing homework. I’m even listening to music while I’m writing this blog. I like listening to music for different reasons. I like music that gets me hyped, that is relaxing, that I can dance to, music with cool beats, etc. Although I like listening to music when I do work, I sometimes become distracted by the music because I can’t resist singing.

One of my favorite genre of music to listen to is hip hop/rap. Rap is one of my favorite genre of music because I like the lyricism, the rhymes, the metaphors, and the meanings behind the song. Some of my favorite artists are Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Logic, Kanye West, J Cole, Childish Gambino, outkast, Kid Cudi, and others

My favorite rapper is Eminem. Some of my favorite songs by him are Stan, Lose Yourself, Toy soldiers, cleaning out my closet, rap god, my name is, the real slim shady, and others. I like Eminem because his lyrics are fire and he doesn’t care what he says or who he offends. On “The Real Slim Shady” he offends celebrities. “So you can, sit me here next to Britney Spears? Yo Shit, Christina Aguilera better switch me chairs So I can sit next to Carson Daly and Fred Durst And hear 'em argue over who she gave head to first.” Eminem says what’s own his mind; he has no filter. However, not all of Eminem’s songs are bashing celebrities and the media. One of his best songs is lose yourself from the 8 mile soundtrack. “His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy / There's vomit on his sweater already: mom's spaghetti / He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready / To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting / What he wrote down.” This was one of his best songs and Eminem won a Grammy for this song.

Eminem is one of the greatest rappers of all times. He has one 13 Grammys and he is the first artist to win best rap album for three consecutive LPs. He is also the highest selling rapper of all time and the bestselling artist of the decade. In my opinion Eminem is a “Rap God”.
