Big Sean
Big Sean is an excellent rapper from the city of Detroit. In
the past he has produced several song that have reached the top ten song
according to iTunes. Big Sean is 24-year-old male rapper that has had much
success in the music industry. After signing with Kanye West’s record company
in 2007, Big Sean became an artist working his way up to the top. Then in 2008,
Big signed with Def Jam Records. It wasn’t until 2011 when Big Sean dropped the
album “Finally Famous”, that Sean became famous. He received three hit single
from this album alone, it was his ticket for fame. He has since become known
world wide, and working on new hit singles. His most recent was single was
called “Mercy”, where he calibrated with Kayne, Pusha T, and 2 Chainz. This
song was released, and that same week it reached iTunes top ten because it was
an amazing song. According to Big Sean’s website, his recent activity has been
dealing with kids and problem of attendance in Detroit schools. Back when Sean was in high school he ended
with a 3.7 GPA at Waldorf high school. So he recently has been visiting schools
with high attendance rates in Detroit to reward them for their hard work. This to me shows how generous Sean is in
giving back to the city that made him into wheat he is today. You don’t see
this in many rappers today; they in turn give shout out to this hometown but
never give back.
Like most rappers Sean started exposing his music to the
world through the free music industry. Many older Citizens of the Untied States
dislike this industry for they blame it for the economic struggles. Unlike the
older population, the younger population enjoys this industry for there is no
costs that come with music. Me being part of the younger generations, I enjoy
this industry for it is a way to find good new music for young artists. Some of
Sean’s first mix tapes in the free music industry were “Uknowbigsean” and
“Finally Famous”. These tapes are in my opinion some his best work that he ever
created for it what started his career as a rapper and he has been good ever
since these tapes. He then went on to create “ Finally Famous Vol. 3” which I
think is his best work he has created to this point. The reason I like it so
much is because it has the most significance to me. It tells listeners about how
coming up is hard but when you’re at the top that giving back it the most
important thing you can do. As I sated
before Big Sean’s Most recent work has been “Mercy”, and let me tell you this
song was so good that in the first week it grabbed so much attention it hit
number one the iTunes charts. Since then big has talked about coming out with
more calibrations with “Good Music” over the 2012 summer. So to all you Big
Sean’s Fans watch out for new music in the summer of 2012.

Literary Essay
As a kid i was young and innocent, but now I am becoming a man. The years coming up for an kid to a man was a state of maturity. I hit that state when i was thirdteen, it was very different for i was hitting puperty. Everything started to change for me, toys i used to like, didn't care for anymore; foods i didn't like before started to taste good. Just like John, I had a rite to passage in which made me mature. However, Johns journey to the Place of the Gods makes him more courageous, knowledgeable, and independent.
As john traveled to the Forbidden land, he became more couragous. For instance, when john is faced with the fear of dieing as he enters the forbiden land, instead of turning back, he pushes forward. Here john show how his courage and dertermination to complete his task, over takes the fear of dying on his journey. Also, he fact that John is completeing a journey that no eles has done, is impressive and shows bravery to the hill people. Then when John touches metal after being chased by dogs, only priests can touch metal. John is not yet a priest, but is the son of a priest and since metal is from the place of the dead, he is not suspose to touch it or he might die. But instead, john overcomes death to save him from sure death, the dogs, by touching the metal. Though John's journey, he became more coragous though he experiences with death itself.
After going to the Forbidden land and back to he hometown of the hill people, John has collected a great deal of new Knowledge. For example, when John Finds that they are more technologicly advanced before then in the time he is in. Hunting with bows and arrows now and living in the hills, the hill people are very outdated compared to past where they had guns and lived in the cities. John sees how in the past they had more advanced tools then they had which was confusings to him, in the sense that hill people didn't know about this techonology. Then John finds out that the forbidden land is not filled with gods but normal people. This creates the idea that all the priests have told them about the gods is a lie. John wants to tell all the hill people about this concept but it would create conflict within the tribe.

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis
Macklemore is a young rapper that is trying to make his name known coming out of Seattle. After coming of a substance abuse, he has become a devoted, hard working rapper. Many thought that he would never make in the raping world, for he is white and coming out of Seattle. But instead of letting that bring him down, he used it to his advantage. Since not many rappers come out from Seattle, their are not many hometown stars. So he became their idol, and he give back to the fans that make him famous to show his love for them. He throws a pizza party every year for them to show their talents to him. The most popular song for him today is the song "And We Danced", which personally is a very good song but is not his best work. One of the things that I really like about his music is the fact that he puts the piano in his songs. This is something that I can really relate to for I play the piano. He also throws in a lot of Irish beats which is neat in the sense that it unique and not many rappers do it. My favorite song that is out right now by him has to be "Can't Hold Us", for it has a fast beat that really gets me going. I Also like the song "Wings", that tell about how little kids look up to the famous people. However it also tells about shoes, which I can also relate to because I love buying expensive shoes. The best line from the song is "You are what you wear and we are what we wear", this line is one of those quotes you can write a book on. It is so true and hits it on the dot with kids today, because you can tell what a person is like based on what they wear.

The Interlopers
In the story The Interlopers by Saki, the theme that you should book by its cover is displayed through out. For instance, at first Ulrich believes that Georg is an ill willed person that just wants to steal land from the Gradwitz family.

Ulrich goes beyond the cover of the book and sees that Georg is just a no marl human being that isn't ill willed and land hungry. Grudging a book by its cover never seems to be a smart idea, and this them is displayed in though the short story.
DreamChasers 2
DreamChasers two is the second mix tape by Meek Mill, that came out with a huge bang. The first mix tape called DreamChasers was a huge success for Meek Mill with over 700, 000 downloads on Datpiff. com. This lead up to the big release of the second album, for weeks many fans of this artist waited for the release of the mix tape on May 7, 2012. Some of its success can also be contributed because of the advertisement and talk about a new Dreamchasers album coming out in the future. This all lead to its success and had work the Meek but into the album. This mix tape got over a total of 2,700,000 down loads which is the most downloaded mix tape on datpiff.com. However it also caused the site to crashes from to many people trying to download it at once.
A day before the release of the mix tape, two songs from the album were released early adding to the suspense of the mix tape. Both songs i thought were very well produced and cause a lot of chatter of how good would this mix tape really be. Some though that it wasn't going to be as good as the first, but i though it would be better, and to my surprise i was right. In my eyes this was Meek Mills really first big mix tape that is going to get him more download, and or more money in the future. Besides the song "Ima Boss", by him, he has not got much respect in the music industries, but i think this will be his big start. Moving on from here Meek Mill is moved up on my artist list and is now compared to artist like Rick Ross and Tyga. This album has earned him the respect of many new fans and made him very popular in the modern music world.
This song is just filled with very good song that are very underrated. Many of these songs are filled with song that tell the stories of Meek Mills life coming form the getto and how he had dreams of be rich and famous one day, hence the name DreamChasers. My favorite song out of this album has to be the song "ready or not", for it tells how you are either are ready or not for success and some will make it to fame and others for not. this really reaches out to me in the sense that coming up through high school you make choices that can impact the rest of your life and you have to be ready for that. As you walk through that halls you see those kids that were not ready for that pressure and feel into the drugs to help relieve that day to day stress. Other songs like "racked up shawty" and " a1 everything" are very good songs that contain amazing beat that are backed up by rhymes that will blow your mind. If you listen to the lyrics of the song "str8 like that", you will find that Meek mill put some humor in his lyrics which makes it an enjoyment to listen too. overall this mix tape is one of the greatest i have ever listen to and highly recommend downloading it.

Wiz Khalifa
From the start of his music career, Wiz Khalifa has earned the respect of critics and listeners worldwide. His ability to be in most modern musical songs, makes unique and unlike most other writers. Wiz is from the city of Pittsburgh, and came up through the taylor gang, a gang that is in the city of Pittsburgh. He brought lots of fame and glory to the taylor gang, as they are now know throughout out the country. Although many know Wiz for music, many don't know that he smokes weed almost every day and loves to drink and party as well. He may not be the best person but when it come to music he gets it done. He not only gives back to the fans by give out lots of free music, but he also does a lot of tour and is on the road a lot. Wiz also like his fans to see the life that he live so he has created a series of videos on you to called Daytoday with Wiz Khalifa. Here he shows you what it is like to be a rapper that is rich and famous. Wiz has been on a Bing commercial where he talked about what it is like to be him, coming up from nothing and now shining for the the world to see. After a lot of hard work, Wiz is one of the most popular hip-hop artists in todays day and age.
Wiz Khalifa's career with his grammy nomination, Black and yellow. This song became the number one song of the nation quickly, with the dope beat that is backed up by a clever rap, the song went viral. It was Wiz's first number one song in the nation. The song references his home town and the sports teams from Pittsburgh, with this song he represented his home town, which made it very popular. Many other rappers did remixes of this song to represent their home towns, like Lil Wayne and Wale. This song was on the album Rolling Papers, which was by far his best album yet. Containing songs like "when I'm gone" and "Roll up", very poplar songs, it has the most popularity by far. I like how this album contains a variety of different beats for the songs and how all the song tell about his life. Wiz recently has had a huge hit called "Young, Wild, and Free" where he calibrated with Snoop Dogg. This song was the number one song for several months strait and showed no signs of becoming unpopular. This song really reached out to the younger group of people in the world, as you can tell by the title. The song tells you about how high school was back when he went. Very recently Wiz has come out with two songs that are in the top ten, "Payphone" and "Work Hard, Play Hard". I don't particularly like these song merely because they have odd beat that don't really fit Wiz' s voice.

My Awesome Mixtape
My Awesome Mixtape by Clinton Sparks is one of the better mix tapes that has recently came out in past several months. In the duration of the mix tape, Clinton Sparks takes many of the recent hit censations and give them his own twist to them. Clinton sparks is a DJ who started in 1998, when he began his first radio mix show through SupeRadio. However he has just started to get big, with his first grammy nomination for the song "Bloody Mary" by Lady Gaga. I first herd this album on the GoodMusicAllDay site, their I listened to several of the songs and seem to enjoy listening to most of them.
The mix tape starts out at a very fast beat, and seems to retain that pace through out the whole mix tape. This mix tape is one of those mix tapes that i think of when i want to listen and dance too. It creates a very energetic vibe to each and every song, which I thought was good idea because it keeps the listens wanting to hear more. One down flaw of this mix tape is the length of it, the total time come out near one hour. Now in some cases that is good like if you are at a party and wanting to dance till the break of dawn but if you are just looking for a quick mixture to listen too then this may not be the one. Another thing i liked was how he took songs that where not really hip hop based and created a different background beat for the lyrics and made them into a hip-hop song. Another flaw of the mix tape is that in order for you to listen to the all the song and for them to sound normal, you have to listen to them in order. That means that you can really listen to them in shuffle because they won't flow. So the mix tape is almost like one big song, that is almost an hour long.
My favorite song form this album is most definitely "Suck To Be You" by Clinton Sparks. The way this song has a sweet beat and a kicking base line to back it up, just sticks out to me. This song also tell the listens that cheating on someone and be jealous of what they look like not must suck. I also really like how in the intro to the mix tape Samuel L. Jackson talks about the path to the becoming the greatest DJ. In the After Show clinton Sparks talks about how it takes hard work and late nights to reach the point that he is at his life and that he does it all for his fans. Now that is a true DJ in my eyes. It is mix tapes like these that can make and break a career for a DJ and Clinton Sparks killed it on this one.

Project X Album
This album is like heaven in my ears, if i knew what heaven sounded like of course. If i was to give it a letter ratting then i would give it a solid A plus. The thing I like the most about it is you get verity when you buy the album, which in this world, is hard to get with all the stock cereals, cars, and T.V.s. I always feel like I'm buying the same thing because they all work the same, which is why when you make something unique, you could do well with the this new generation since their always looking for the instant satisfaction. when the movie Project X came out it was like no other movie, which is why everyone love it. in project X you go from Tipsy, a very club type of song, to Fight music, which is very hardcore music. This diversity is very intriguing to someone, like me, who is looking to buy the album. After seeing the movie and hearing the music in it only want me to buy it more.
Me being someone who likes the dance music more, made me like the songs "Pursuit of Happiness' and "Tipsy" from the album. However i was also very fascinated by the beat that was presented in the song, "The Next Episode" by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. The song "Heads Will Roll" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs had a techno beat going on through out the song, which i though was very neat. The song "pretty girls" by wale in the album, in my opinion was better in a remix that i had heard before. Another song that i thought was good was "candy" by Far east movement, i liked how the did a little voice change in the song to make their voices sound different. But i didn't like that they but to go with it, it ruins it like the angry elf on Christmas eve. "Ray Ban Vision" by A-trak is a good song but is old news to me, came out a while back and wasn't very thrilled with it, so when i saw it on the album, i was like remember that song and it got old really fast. For some reason the song, "Le Disko" by Shiny Toy Guns, reminds me of like fire and has like that low dub step ego to it. I don't really mind listening to it every once in a while but it gets annoying after a few times of listening to it. It's a good song to listen to when you have that fiery anger built up inside of you, jut listen to this and you will let some of your anger out. I highly recommend that you listen to this album if you seen the movie project X or if your looking for some good songs for a party because it has plenty of outstanding songs to cover you for a good time. However if you like just some of the songs, iTunes does have song that you can buy separately for the album but not all of them.
