MUSIC

     Im so happy we get to do an entire blog on MUSIC! Music (other than language) is the greatest thing we as human beings have. I mean, music brings ppl of all languages, races, ages, and cultures together. I absolutely loveeee music!

     Music is music and ppl are ppl. We are all different so that means we all like different kinds of music. I hate it when ppl say that rap and heavy metal aren't music. Just because you don't like that type of music doesn't mean that it's not music. Music is a way for ppl to express themselves freely. If ppl couldn't express themselves, what would we have? 

     My favorite kind of music is Hip Hop, R&B and some Rap. The reason why I like this type of music is because the artist speak about real things. I can often relate to things that they are talking about. R&B is my favorite. Its all mostly singing. The topics vary but a lot of it is about love and life. Hip Hop artist often talk about things that are going on in the world and their lives. Rap is pretty much the same, but it gets a little deeper.I hate Rap that is all about drugs, money, sex, and violence. It's still music, but just not my type of music.

     My favorite male R&B artist would be Maxwell. I love all of his music. It's poetry with music. My favorite female R&B artist is Alicia Keys. She has such a beautiful voice. Drake is my favorite Hip Hop and Rap artist. He's fairly new but it seems like he's been around forever. He's so talented. Other artists I like are: Chris Brown, J. Holiday, Mary J. Blige, Lionel Richie, Jennifer Hudson, Keisha Cole, Kid Cudi, Jordin Sparks, Mariah Carey, Neyo, Usher, Robi Thicke, and Michael Jackson.
