“God Forgives, I don’t” only touches the surface of Ross’ fight to triumph. Whenever I need inspiration to keep advancing, playing Rozay’s “Hold Me Back” on repeat is necessary. A gritty ballad made in the brain of man that might not have much to his name expressing through it all never let someone or something hold you back from your ambitions. The only problem I have with the album is the predictability of beat selection. Although the beats chosen for the project was suitable for the occasion when being a genuine Rick Ross admirer you tend to appreciate what sounds he loves to utilize and producers he shops with to fulfill his needs.
In personal settings Kanye West is a heartfelt person who puts all of his emotions into his music so his fans can identify with him. West has offended people in saying rude remarks about him and others including saying that he is “the greatest rappers of all time” and that “if it weren’t for him changing the game some of these rappers wouldn’t be rapping”. West has insulted other entertainers including when he embarrassed country artist Taylor Swift during an awards ceremony where she was being presented an award. Kanye West literally jumped on stage to announce to everyone that she didn’t deserve the award but another artist did. This incident proved to others that he didn’t care what he did to others because it was something he wanted to do at the time.
ENC 1101 J. Cole Cole World: The Sideline Story J. Cole the kind of rapper who worries aloud, and frequently, if he's getting too deep for his own songs. A St. John's University magna cum laude graduate raised in poverty by a single mother, Cole distinguished himself in his early career as much through effort as talent. Over a string of fiercely earnest, frequently impressive mixtapes, he raps in a way which the semicolons and embedded clauses are audible, and he produced all his own tracks. You feel as if you were watching a movie when J.Cole tells his stories. He has become a leading light of the conscious-rap crowd.
Because what Lupe Fiasco says on this microphone is going to come back to Wasalu Jaco. When the music cuts off, you have to go home and live with what you say." That quote right there is a testament to Lupe and how he is different he is the best rapper out there because he is real. He doesn’t try to be something he is not and he raps about things that matter, things that will change your life if you just listen. Most of us are walking through this world blind and need to open their eyes.
Well he has one hell of a legacy. He posed as Jesus on the cover of the Rolling Stones , or should I say yeezus , he accused president bush that he doesn't care about black people , he's a rapper against homophobia , that's right yeezus is fine with you being gay. Now you're thinking this is absurd and rude but really this is awesome , one man who defies your norms and wants to be what is different out there , a man with so much confidence he says he is the next Mandela as well and what's wrong with that ? After all Mandela did save a nation. "My greatest pain is that I'll never be able to see myself perform live" this is a quote that will live on for ages and be used by many artist who believe they are great , it is this simple quote that put kanye's ego into one line and explains it , he loves himself and loves what he has become from his humble beginnings to now , one of the most powerful people alive.
“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view – until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.” (pg. 30) is one of the lessons learned. No one in Maycomb puts themselves in Boo’s shoes, so they don’t understand his suffering. People don’t see his true intelligence that was ruined by his cruel father; this makes Boo one of our most important mockingbirds. I see behavior like this everyday, as I walk down the high school halls, into the lunchroom, even just kids hanging out in town – there is always some one judging someone.
Link refers to his origin as "up north" to avoid revealing his birth place. After a few bad days of being homeless he meets Ginger, a streetwise person who has been homeless for quite some time. But Link does not trust him entirely, because every time, when Ginger leaves him, Link feels scared and guesses that Ginger goes to his real mates. Shelter Shelter is a former sergeant-major who is on a mission to kill all of the homeless people of London, because they he considers they 'make the place look untidy.' He means too that there is nobody who does anything against them.
We have drug wars, riots, and personal wars; and these go on every day of our lives, most going un-known except by the people it directly affects. I am terrified to have to live in the trenches where you would never have a bath and there are rats and other animals running around the place, and having the thought in your head there you probably going to die and never seeing your children, family, friends, love ones ever again, and the thought that you have to kill other people just to
When the check came, and Mama put the money down on the house, he said to her bitterly, intending to cause as much pain as possible, “So you butchered up a dream of mine—you—who always talking ‘bout your children’s dreams...”(95) Yes, he was upset, but there’s a limit to what you can do and say before it turns intentional. He gave up on his dreams, much like Beneatha did later on, and because of that, he lost his conviction. He didn’t go to work for 3 days, instead took Willy Harris’ car and drove off places, and went to the Green Hat and got drunk, for three days. Almost lost his job, putting his family into deeper trouble than it already was. “Ain’t that a sad, ain’t that cryin’ sad,”(104) was his only comment.
Day 120: One of my companions fell asleep today, forever. Day 130: After near a month of being here I have concluded that this is hell, what else could it be? My opinions have changed toward the owner of this plantation, he seemed nice but has already tortured my companions and even makes us whip our own people, there is nothing else crueler than this. Why can’t they see it? I just cannot understand.
