Ideology of the rap

The rap is not only a melody, it’s more like a story or message for a cause. The goal is to change or make aware mind of people. For example, it was first use in the Bronx, a district of New York, to aware people of the hard living condition. “The message” was the first song to respond to the standard of the Rap, indeed the song was a political message who related of the daily frustration of life in the Bronx. This song was release in 1982 and sign the beginning of the rap. The Rap will then evolved into “battle” called Rap contenders, were two men (or women) clash the other one but keeping the rhythmic aspect of rap. What I appreciate in this kind of music is when there is no refrain like when it’s a story, I also like when I reach the end of a new song and be like “wow, I learn something”. The Rap is likely associate to drugs gang and illegal traffic, I can’t deny it, seventy five percent of the rap lyrics is about drugs or women. It’s maybe due to the seventy five percent of people who hearing rap are men. It’s obvious that the rap is mostly listening by men because it’s an aggressive and a brutal song who is completely different of an common song just like the metal. To conclude I will say that the rap is full of cliché but not this not inaccessible even for women or old people you just need to have to be open minded.

Interview of a classical musician about subways

First, what do you think of the subways?
Well, I find those ridiculous! So many people in a way too narrow space, that is unbearable. When I have to go somewhere, I prefer Taxis or bicycle, this is much more appreciable.

What bother you in the fact that there is a lot of people?
A too crowded space isn’t graceful. That is not ordered like everything should be. An ordered crowd beautifuly the place, it is so magestic and marvelous! And subways are anything but majestics and marvelous.

So, would you like to change things?
Of course I would like to! If only subways could be set like music paper! It would be much more pleasant to use them! I should probably do something about that but all those people are juste… So messy! I don’t see how I could change that…

Are you saying that someone should do something to change subways, but you are not going to be this person?
That is delicate. You see, I am a very bussy person, and as I said early, I don’t really know what to do… If I could do something I swear I would already have change everything in subways!

You seem like someone who’s too afraid to get his hands dirty…
I am not! I just can’t bear all that mess.

I see… And do you think subways are doomed to be all crowded and messy forever?
Unfortunately, yes. Subway is not a placevfor you if are a delicate person, like me.

So you see yourself as a delicate person?
Of course, since I am! As you know I listen to classical music, only someone who is really delicate and elegant can appreciate this sorte of music! And you know why? Because it is not music, it is art!

Music is considered as an art, and not only classical music you know…
Certainly, but classical music is just the true art in music.

Okay I see. Let’s end this interview here. Thank you for volunteer your time for us, mister.
It is my pleasure, I am really flattered that you choose to interviewed me to speak about classical and… subways…

ECONOMY AND CANNABIS

The authorize of cannabis in our country can improve the economy of this state. The traffic will be legal and we can put taxes on the transactions, and make money to develop this economy. The consumers don’t stop to take cannabis, they continue and they will pay to get their drugs, and their will help the state to fight this monster economic. In our journal, we think that the cannabis can improve the state and the creation’s power of all the humans. The reggae can be the first music in the world, because this type of music can develop any kind of intelligence. But we need to authorize the consummation of cannabis to make this possible. We can save all the state by authorize only this, to create workers. This activity will be legal, by the medical use or use it for develop our creation, our sensations. We have to be more open to this practice, because this is the future, this is our only chance to escape from the crisis. If we put 20% of taxes on every exchange of drugs, we can be the first state in the world, in economy and development! And this only by authorize one thing: the consummation legal of drugs.

The reggae is the best type of music in the world, everyone knows it but no one assume it, because the drugs are banned from the culture of our state. If we authorize it, we can be the first state to open his mind for this type of culture, this type of music, this type of life! We can be more developed than every nation, more advanced than ever! We have to authorize the cannabis, but not only in medical use, in every kind of use. We need this, everyone. Today, nobody wants it because nobody knows the power of this plant, the power of evasion that characterized this herb! The economy will be more improved than ever, just by doing one thing. We can be the more powerful nation than every nation in the world, in every time! We need this, all of us, because everyone need to know the benefic action of this plant. Just by authorized it, we can be more powerful and happier than ever! We’ll be the first population who like the government, who realized how much we are good when everything seems ideal. MAKE THE CANNABIS GREAT NOW!

Having a bad day ?

 

Have you ever had this feeling of emptiness inside ? This feeling continuously gnawing at you ? Of which you do not know the origin but it’s still there and filling up more place with every passing day ?

This melancholia is starting to take over as we are slowly heading for a cold winter, and fall is in full bloom. Not single day goes by that we don’t see leaves redder and more flamboyant, than in any other season, with the desire to step on them and hear thi satisfactory crunchy sound.

The weather has been kind for the most part : the sun’s been quite bright and the expected downpoor has just started. We will finally be able to look out the window like in a bad drama movie, watching as droplets of water form small rivesr on the glass and trying to guess which one will come down first; and feeling stupid for cheering for the rain. Then, we will turn back on our life, on how amazingly boring it is and how little it is compared to the rest of the universe.  And finally, reflecting on it, if it’s really worth it to complain about it.

It’s just this autumnal season messing with our head. Which is a bit paradoxical : red, yellow and orange, which embody autumn, are suposed to be bright and warm colors, so how can they be so depressing at the same time ? The only good news : Halloween and all the candies that go with it.

But in the mean time I’m getting restless waiting for the winter that has yet to come. Will the trees, devoid of their leaves, but hopefully covered by a blanket snow, cheer us up ? I’m sure global warning will ensure a lot of beautiful and pure white snow. Also, climate change means harsher winters which means you will have to cover yourself more : the fashion world will be in turmoil “Did you see the this new Gabanana coat ?” “Yeah but I’m more excited by this overpriced Channelston hat !”.

And how can we not talk about Christmas when talking about winter ? One of the most cherished holyday. The only moment when it’s acceptable to tell children that an old man will break into the house to deposit presents and that it’s ok to play with them.

So are you ready for the rollercoaster of emotions ?
