The Beatles

My favorite band on the planet. A band that has influenced artists even to this day. I mean like really, how many bands can you have dedicated strictly to The Beatles. How many covers, how many samples, how many peoples lives have changed because of The Beatles. Honestly, I can say hands down that they are the most well known name in the music industry and for good reason. Every song, with pure creativity and bliss is what keeps them at the top as well as all of these other bands ive grown to like because of The Beatles influence. 

If I could tell them thank you I would but half have passed and the other two I will never be in contact with but thank you for making music the way it is today.

MOVIE REVIEW DAWGGGGGGGGGGG

"Inside Llewyn Davis"

This movie was great. Its about a folk singer who is very talented but always seems to get the short end of things. This movie is an independent film and I am a big fan of independent films. What stuck out to me about it is how this man never catches a break but is so talented. He goes to the same old open mic and does the same songs that are really good but at night, always asking a friend for a place to sleep. He goes throughout the movie traveling and just trying to make ends meet. Lots of things come up that he never really goes for just showing all the opportunities they could have taken this movie but didn't. The movie is simplistic, which really just kept me drawled in. I liked this movie, I'd give it a solid B.

At the Bottom of Everything

Music can really give the listener perspective on life and all different aspects of it, almost like are minds are molded to look and think differently as we listen to a song or project as a whole. One song that has really influenced my perspective is a song called "At the Bottom of Everything," by Bright Eyes.

The song starts of with the artist telling a story of a woman who is on a plane and is reading about a third world country. She begins to start conversation with a man on the plane and in the coming moments, an engine failure happens. The plane is crashing and the woman asks the man where they are going, and with positive outlooks, the man says "A party, your birthday party." The song then begins to play and it is upbeat and happy, a contradiction from what is expected.

Bright Eyes begins to elaborate on life in the song and it gets into how irrelevant we all are in the long run and its depressing but also insightful. "Im happy just because, i found out im really no one," is how the song ends. Id love to hear what other people think of the song so PLEASE COMMENT IF YOU DO CHECK OUT THE SONG.

Flexibility With Music

Something I strongly believe in is that, your taste in music reflects the person you are or the other way around. To open your mind to different types of music opens your mind to different experiences and emotions that different music evoke. To be open minded and have perspective on everyday life and the world, I believe, the first step is to open your mind to music. 

Of course there is music that we just can't stand, but give things a chance, read the lyrics, analyze a bit. For me, I go from hardcore rap to punk rock to The Beatles to Billy Joel. To be able to listen and vibe to so many different categories really takes you out of the world for a bit and gives you a perspective on different experiences that the artist raps, sings, or speaks about and in a sense connecting you with these experiences and giving you more perspective. 

Free your mind, free your soul, and search, experience, live.

Mac MILLLLERRRRRRR:

Mac has successfully made his way to my favorite rapper. Yeah I know theres Ye, Drake, Eminem, and a bunch of others with amazing skill but on a level of REAL, Mac I can compare with the most. I feel his music. He had a phase with fame where everyone loved him but everyone felt some type of way when he started getting hard and talking about harder drugs and such. The way I see it, is that from his old mixtapes that everyone loves, (K.I.D.S, B.D.E) because everyone could compare to the highschool Mac Miller. As time went on and he became more and more bigger in the game, he was no longer this chill highschooler, he grew physically and mentally. People forget that. You can't hate on a dude because his music changed as he did, of course hes not going to rap the way he did and talk about the same things because thats not him and to not like him because he changed really puts in the ignorant category. But back to why he is my favorite rapper, Mac has a ton of skill. From producing to singing to rapping..... THIS DUDE CANT EVEN SING BUT YET YOU CAN STILL BUMP HIS SONGS WHERE HE SINGS THE WHOLE TIME.... thats skill. People think he doesnt have a variety to his music but he does which really puts him above other rappers for me. Death, girls, drugs, his life, and just a bunch of other categories he expands his music in that other rappers just don't. I feel Mac, hes going to be big and definitely going to change the game.

Vibin' and Stuff 

So music has been a big part of my life ever since I was a kid, guess it runs in the blood line. Both of my parents use to be big into music, my mom more than my dad and she owned a turntable with close to 50 different records from MJ to the Beatles. From all different sorts of music ranging from The Beatles to Ab Soul to even Purity Ring I have different playlists and keep up to date with these artists. I have an open mind when it comes to music and I like to share so yeah. About moi.
