The song Jose Canseco by Riff Raff is a song that I really enjoy listening to! I freaking love the beat that goes along with the song, it fits so perfectly with song! The chorus is kinda stupid but I like the versus cause of the things he says. I like the line "full time jaw dropper" I say it like all the time now. You should check the song out and give it a shot!

The Massive Attack album that we listened to in class was so freaking cool! I literally listened to the whole thing it kept my attention the entire time it was playing! I mean the light thing on the tv was cool but the music just had amazing beats and would change up fast and slow songs so well! The whole end of the album was like a cool down from the first 4 massive songs that started it all off. I downloaded the album as soon as i got home that day!

Lionel Richie's music video for Hello is the funniest thing Ive ever seen! i literally laughed so hard cause of how much of a creeper he is in the video! He pretty stalks this blind under age girl around the school! The song is just plain weird, it is really inst a bad song though. All the lyrics are good and it has a nice smooth melody all through the song.

Wu Tang Clan isn't really my favorite group but they are okay based off of what I think. Their music is really fast most of the time and i cant really understand the words they are saying. NWA on the other hand is way better and I enjoy their music. Some of their songs are fast but some are also slow so there is a nice mix. Wu Tang needs to work on their beats also, most of them sound the same.

Have you ever noticed how sometimes music videos never match up with the song they go to? This is happening more and more I feel like, the videos make no sense at all and they end up distracting me from the song more than anything. I don't think its a smart move to do this with music videos cause other people will probably think the same things that I just said. Just make a video that goes with the song!

The class that me listened to a couple of Kendricks songs was really fun! I thought it was cool how you let us say what songs we were listening to and gave your comments on the songs. I agree with you in the Swimming Pools was the best song out of all of them. The that one claymation video was really weird I don't even remember the name of it! Swimming Pools made more sense and wasn't just repeating the same thing over and over again although it does that a little.

Mac Miller is probably the rapper that I listen to the most, his music just appeals to me the most. I guess it might be beacuse I can understand him when he raps. His song Donald Trump is really good, the beat is amazing and the lyrics are really funny too. He takes a different approach to his music I think, he takes his time making albums. He doesnt make a new one like every other month. since he does that it makes all his music really good. Go listen to him!

Nirvana has some really good music that I like but some of it gets on my nerves like no other. The soft rock catagory is something that not a lot of people like, I like some but not all. The songs have great melody and flow but most of them all sound the same and it gets reppititious after a while. Listening to them for a few minutes or just a couple of songs isnt bad though. I would reccomend this band to kids that are just starting out with rock to give them a taste other than Mumford and Sons, cause thats all that kids listen to these days.

I just installed new speakers and a stereo in my car and the speaker I put in have extra bass so i have been listening to more rap lately. Its been growing on me lately and I'm starting to listen to it more and more, I liked it before Alternative rock but now I like it more than rock again. I guess it goes to show how fast for min can be changed about music.

NWA is by far the best thing we listened to all week in class. I don't like rap that much but NWA is an all time favorite of mine! They do everything so old school and it all just fits together. DR. Dre is my favorite of all of the buys in the group. All their music is kinda lengthy but that makes it even better cause there's more of it! The beats that match up with their songs are so good, could listen to just those alone! I really like NWA!

I listened to some Indian music yesterday just for fun, it wasn't that bad actually. I mean I wouldn't listen to it all the time but every now and then it inst bad to change things up. I like the drums the best cause they were bongos I think and I love the rhythms that the players make with them, they are always so fun! Indian music isn't really for me though over all.

The video on the Dj's that we watched the other day in class was really cool, I thought it was amazing how the guys moved their hands. They have to turn the disc with one hand and then move that know or switch back and forth super fast! I dont think I would ever be able to do that, cause those guys have been playing ever since they were young I bet!

Simon and Garfunkle were really amazing! they kept the most perfect harmony ever the entire song! The amazing thing is they never even really look at each other yet they know exactly when to breath and start singing every time! The other thing i really liked about their song is how soft and mellow it was the whole time. It takes a lot of talent to do that! i really enjoyed listening to them both!

The SNL stuff that we listened to today in class was really funny! I liked the Ray Charles on the best, with how they mixed it with the Beethoven and then switched it! Ray Charles is a really talented guy the way he can play the piano blind and sing at the same time, that takes a lot of talent to do! Besides SNL never gets old for me cause of how funny it is!

Ive only been to a few concerts in my life but the best one would prob have to be seeing The Red Hot Chili Peppers in Little Rock Arkansas. The whole concert was amazing, they had a light show to go along with every song! It was one of the coolest things I have ever seen! All of their music is amazing and makes me want to be in the band with them. I would go to any of their concerts if I got the chance to do so.

Paul Simon is really good and I enjoyed listening to him! all of his lyrics and songs made sense and sounded really good to me! all though I wouldn't listen to him on a regular basis, on occasion I would enjoy it. All of his music kinda sounds the same to me and doesn't really change, for him its not a bad thing because he is good at it but other singers it hurts them. I enjoyed most of his music.

Whenever I work on home work, go on a trip, or I'm just chillin I listen to music. Music always relaxes me and passes the time and just makes rings just more enjoyable, I can listen to music for hours upon hours. I sure that most people do the same thing, just with their favorite kind of music. It's scientifically proven that listening to music helps relieve stress! Music is just something that I can not live without!

Last week in class we listened to punk and it was kind of bad at first and I didn't like it cause I thought it was really annoying and obnoxious cause the way they sang. Most of the time it either sounded like they were talking and screaming into the microphone. Punk is not really for me and I stay away from the music because its not very good music on my opinion.

I've been listening to a little more country lately and I'm afraid to say I've started to like it a little more. Most of the songs I just focus on the guitar and the way they play it. Some of the singers that play are really talented at what they do, to sing and play guitar at the same time takes a lot of skill! The country music has started to grow on me.

This week in class we listened to some disco. Disco alway has a really fun beat that makes you want to dance too! Most of the disco we listened to in class I had never heard before but it was still cool and I liked it. The music that I did know had great singers and writers, that's what made their songs so great and made we want to listen more! Disco isn't that bad of music if you learn about it first.

Radio Head is one of those bands that not a lot of people listen to I think and they deserve more credit than they get most of the time. All their music is really good, its calm and mellow sometimes and then fast and spontaneous at other times. I think that more people need to start listening to Radio Head again so that they can enjoy the music that they make also.

Steive Wonder is a very talented musician, he can play tons of different instruments and play them all extremely well. He wrote his own music and played it all! All of his music had great rhythm and tune too it that made me want to listen for hours. On top of this all he was blind, to be able to do all this not being able to see I find extremely impressive! I know that if I was like him I would not be able to do all the things he did!

Yesterday I learned that if you listen to music for 30 minutes a day it lowers stress levels up to 25%. That is crazy, I didn't know music could do anything like that. It all makes a little sense though if you think about it a little because you are in like your own little zone while listening to music. When I listen to music while I do homework it definitely relaxes my mind and helps me work better. So seeing that fact surprised me at first but then it made sense after I thought about it for a little while.

Paul McCartney was the best person we listened to all week. His voice is so smooth and mellow, it made me enjoy his music the best out of all the stuff we listened too. That one girl we listened too with the highs voice was okay but i enjoyed Paul much more probably because I have known him for a longer time period but I just like him in general as a singer.

There's a new song out called Thrift Shop out and I don't know why but I freaking love the song! Every time it comes on the radio I sing a long, it is so catchy! The lyrics are kinda stupid but funny at the same time. The beat is the best part though, it just makes you want to start moving around and dancing to it. You should really listen to it, you might get hooked too!

The music that we listened to in class two days ago was really amazing! Her voice was so sweet and the perfect pitch every time she sang a note. She could also do some really amazing things with her voice like vibrato and some other cool stuff. The sound of her voice was so good it just made me want to listen even more and more. I would definitely listen to the album over and over a few times!

Girl Talk is one of the coolest DJ's I have seen, he works in a office by day an then by night he's Girl Talk. All of his music takes hours to make because he has to think of what parts of other songs he wants to take and then how to put all the pice's together too make a great song! All of the music that I heard by him was really good, the beats are amazing and the way the songs are blended together is just really awesome!

The  documentary that we watched in class was a really good movie, I thought it was a excellent way to learn about the copyright laws. I think that the copy right laws are way too over the top when it comes to down loading music onto your computer. I mean just let people have the music! When Radio Head did that one album where they let the people choose what they wanted to pay so that no one would get in trouble if they downloaded it and they the label sued, that was the biggest waste if time in the world! I thin that this was a great documentary and everybody should watch it.

Adams Song by Blink 182 is another one of my favorite songs that I always love listening to! the lyrics are really good for the song, even though it is a really sad song. The band only has three people in it and the guy that plays the back up guitar is really good! I like how the song goes along and the beat of it how it slows down in certain places and then speeds back up in other places. I just really enjoy this song!

I didn't think that Black Saboth was that great, when we listened to some of their music in class. I thought the singing was the worst part because it was so winy and loud! the music was okay but not much better, it was every repetitive and loud also with not a lot of  meaning behind it all as if it was just a song and it didn't matter that much. The only song I like by Black Saboth is Iron Man, I guess I just like it so much because its been around for a long time and I've heard it a bunch of times so I'm used to it.
