Isaac Wallace David Kleinman ENG 111 29 November 2011 Positive Poet. From the controversial title, to the unconventional rhyme style, I'm Gay is truly a unique Hip Hop album. The album is a digression from Lil B self created "Based Freestyle" improvisational compositions that fill his catalogue, instead favoring his conscious, positive, and largely free verse style. As also implied by the album art, the central theme of the work is freedom from mental slavery. Lil B makes little of generally controversial subjects in hip hop such as homophobia; Lil B has diamond encrusted chains but questions the basis of his excess and extravagance.
When I ran into him at SXSW and introduced myself, he gave me a quizzical smile: "I'm challenging ya'll with the next one," he joked, looking slightly uneasy. The irony of Old, of course, is that Danny Brown's version of a sober, measured, mature album still features plenty of lines about snorting crushed pills, throwing up in hotel sinks, and smoking so much kush you feel yourself falling off of the earth. Some things haven't changed. The album is divided into a "Side A" and a "Side B," an act of aesthetic devotion that signals Danny Brown's unusual investment in the arcana of music fandom. Last year, he famously told a bewildered A$AP Rocky that one of his heroes was Arthur Lee before lecturing him on the merits of Forever Changes.
This was a time when rap was ‘a genre dominated by African Americans’ (Eminem.net 2004), and as such it was quite provocative to see a ‘white’ boy performing within this category. Eminem’s music and lyrics background the film. Even more effective than this backing is a scene where he is actually writing lyrics thus supporting his role as central character, ‘8 Mile’ is a brave film that is culturally and intellectually rigorous and an aggressive film that is emotionally intense. The film is very much informed and guided by the experiences of Eminem and his early career as a rapper in blue-collar and no-collar Detroit. (Wikipedia 2014) As a result of Eminem’s actual ‘telling’ of his story (life), realism is characterized through gritty undertones and allusions to both physical and emotional battles (and battle ‘scars’).
He fully deserved his man of the match award and will definitely be given a run by the Galway management team in the new year, or when Killererin run comes to an end.. Right? So, one should have to look at Odinism as a refurbished of the Runes rather than an originator and need not pay homage to Odin for the practice.

In a recent interview with Lupe I asked him what was an interesting project or project that he has done in the past and he said, “An interesting project that I have worked on in the past would be when my very first solo album Food & Liquor was released on September 19, 2006.” The main effect it had on his career was that when the album got released and a lot of people kept on buying it because they liked it and it made me want to create more music because my music is different than other rappers. People wonder who influences these rappers and singers, well for Lupe Fiasco Nas, Kanye West, Crucial Conflict, Spice 1, 8Ball & MJG and Jay-Z influenced him. Prominent hip hop mogul Jay-Z describes him as a “breath of fresh air” in a new hip-hop world characterized by mainstream pop and glamour, a sharp
Straight Edge masculinity focuses on the ability to fight these urges every day. I will use ‘Bob Hawke skulls a beer at the SCG’ to show the acceptance of drinking to excess in Australia and ‘Straight Edge as an Australian Youth Subculture’ to show the opposition to the same idea. It is through these texts we see that ‘what is forbidden by discourse in one cultural context may be justified by the discourse in a different cultural context’. Intro quote: “In a disordered, fragmented world, men seek comfort by controlling the only thing they can, themselves.” (Haenfler 2006: 122). Paragraph One: Define ‘Contemporary’ Australian culture (brief history).
