Music isn’t formulaic, there’s no workout plan. Not everybody can do music, it’s either you have it or you don’t. Creativity cannot be taught, it is a trait that is innate, and a characteristic one is born with. Just like not everybody can draw, not everybody can do music.

McGraw says he's been working on a studio album for over a year now, performing new tracks on tour and hoping to release the new album in the fall. But now he'll have to hold off on that. McGraw tells his fans, "In the spirit of the election year, I would simply say to my fans 'I'm Tim McGraw and I don't approve their message.'"

When hip hop came out in the late 1970’s, about 1977, I was only 14 years old, a teenager.

Elizabeth Pope July 13,2013: 4 hrs Daryl West Pimleco Baltimore Rasta Fest 2013 Event: 1200 Speech: 80 This past Saturday I attended the second annual “Rasta Fest” in Pemleco Baltimore.

Unlike scripted shows, reality TV shows don't have a script and people in there are not professional actors/actresses. They do what they want and they have different opinions on things, the director don't script what they say, and you hear their true feelings.

Popular reality TV shows such as Master Chef, My Kitchen Rules, Biggest Loser and etc all have real contestants in there. They don't read scripts, they don't get told to act this or that, they say what they want and do what they like.

Most popular music nowadays does not promote anything important or resourceful. In a reference to ‘rap’ music, the song, ‘turn my swag on’, Soulja Boy, is a prime example of unimportant music. The song touches upon being ‘fly’ and having a lot of money. Rapper, Professor D, expresses shock at the number of rappers wasting exposure and talent by rapping about things that’s socially irrelevant. On a contrary, they can be doing the exact opposite, (Bottero, 2008,p8).
