T-Pain, songs from early 2000's

I would like to throw it back a little. In the early 2000's, music was really different from today's music. I remember when I was a kid growing up, music was really different, it had a different vibe, it brought different feelings, and it was really nice easy to understand. T-Pain was one of my favorite artists when I was growing up. I can remember when I first listened to his music, the song was "I'm Sprung" that song was a major hit, I can remember watching the music video on my television when I had no internet, and no other way to listen to new music. That song instantly became my favorite song as a kid. The song was just really catchy, it had a great well balanced beat and lyrics to it. Every time it'd come on the radio or on TV I would crank up the volume and sing along to it. Till this day I still find myself listening to songs from the early 2000's. It really brings back memories as a kid. I miss songs from the early 2000's because it was all based off falling in love, being heartbroken, or based about a girl. To me that type of music is amazing, I love the vibe of the songs, and the feelings it gives me when i'm listening to it. Personally T-Pain is an amazing R&B singer, he has great music, and it's still one of my favorite artists to listen to today. I really wished today's music was the same as it was 10-12 years ago. No matter how old the songs are from the early 2000's i'll still take a listen to it.

Ty Dolla $ign "Free TC"

Free TC by Ty Dolla $ign, first off I was excited to find out that Ty has finally released his album on Friday the 13th. I quickly downloaded straight to my phone without even thinking about. Ty Dolla $ign is a really popular artist in today's society. When I played the first track off the album I was pretty impressed, because he featured, Kendrick Lamar, Brandy & James Fauntleroy. Kendrick Lamar is one of my top ten favorite artists so I was excited to hear that Kendrick Lamar was being featured on Ty Dolla $igns album. The first song LA off the album it was really good and balanced. Kendrick Lamar put one hundred percent in his verse. The second song "Saved" featuring E-40 was really catchy. I really enjoyed this song, it was more of a club, going out song. The beat on the song was really catchy and I found myself repeating it after I listened to the album. E-40 caught my attention on the song because I haven't heard of him in a while, and I have to say he did really good with his verse. It synced in perfectly with the song. I have to give it to Ty Dolla $ign with his album Free TC. The album personally is one of my favorites from Ty Dolla $ign, the features were perfect for this album, and all the songs were really well balanced. If you haven't already i'd recommend you guys to take a listen to his album "Free TC".

Logic's New Album

The Incredible True Story by Logic released on Friday the 13th. I've been waiting for this day quite a while already! Everyone was really hyped up, all I've been seeing on Twitter, Instagram, and SnapChat was how many people were hyped up for his album to release. Once midnight hit on Friday the 13th, I quickly downloaded the album straight to my laptop, and then transferred it straight on my cellphone. I got to say once I was finished downloading the album, I was impressed by listening to the first song. The first song had a really unique intro, it reminded me of the drums from "Amazing" by Kanye West, then there were astronauts talking to each other, and then the sound of the doors opening up from a space shuttle. It was really unique and different way to start off the album. Unique and creativity is what makes an album amazing. The album has a really unique sequel behind it, the album cover itself reminds me of some type of comic book. Overall the album was amazing itself, Logic never fails to leave a good impression for his fans. Logic has a unique voice, lyrics, style, and flow of rapping. In my opinion I really love Logic, and his music is always an escape for me whenever times get to rough for me. I'd recommend people to go out and take a listen to his new album, and his other songs if you haven't already done so. He'll not disappoint you at all.

Favorite Songs from J. Cole

When ever i'm in some type of mood, I usually turn on my iPod and put on some J. Cole music. It usually makes me feel relaxed and I feel like everything in the world is going perfect. In my head I just forget about all the stress and get away from reality. I don't know if i'm the only one who gets like this with music, but it's such a wonderful feeling. J. Cole has always been my favorite artist, his lyrics are inspirational and impacting to his fans. I have a variety of taste in music, it's a great thing because I can listen to it and i'll usually relate to it, or it'll inspire me and give me motivation to do positive things in life. J. Cole has been an inspirational rapper to me, he has powerful deep meaningful music. Not all of his music is like that, but most of it is. My favorite tracks from J. Cole is "Planes", "Get Away", "Wet Dreamz" and plenty of other songs. The song "Get Away" is a really beautiful song in my opinion. The beat is sampled from the original song "Cross my Heart" by Billy Stewart. I really thought the song was amazing due to it being sampled from a very popular song in the 1960s. It shows how artistic J. Cole can be in making music, I really enjoy songs from the 60s like the genre rhythm and blues. It caught my ear when I heard the sampled song of cross my heart in J. Coles song "Get away" its one of my favorites from J. Cole.

N.W.A

I like to take it back to the 90s rap. That's when all the rap and hip-hop movement was becoming big. N.W.A is one of my favorite Hip-Hop groups on the West Coast. Everyone knows who N.W.A is, and they're the ones who put Hip-Hop and Rap on the map. I never get tired of listening to any N.W.A song, no matter how much I play it on my device, it'll never never annoy me. The first time I listened to N.W.A was from my father. I can clearly remember he had the "Straight Outta Compton" album in his car. I never knew who they were, or the history behind the group, but at a young age I thought their music was really cool, and different. After I grew older, one of my favorite songs was "Boyz-N-The Hood" I would always try to rap along with the song. After a while I started to remember the lyrics by heart, and it'd always give me the chills when I would listen to it. Another song I really liked was "Express Yourself". The song itself is really good, the beat, and the lyrics that were written by Ice Cube was just amazing. It's a classic tune to listen to and Dr. Dre himself made it sound spectacular. No matter how old their songs are, i'll always find myself listening to N.W.A, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, and Eazy-e. They're legends in my opinion, and no one can ever recreate what they've done.

Yeezy

A huge star right now would be Yeezy, also known as Kanye West. Kanye West is a really huge role model in today's society. Mr. West himself is a huge influence to all of his fans, either fashion wise, or music wise. I myself love Kanye's production of music, personally I think he's an amazing artist, and his music is really creative. My favorite tunes from Mr. West are "Good Life", "Through the Wire" and a few other songs. His work of music is really amazing, like for example the song "Through the Wire" Kanye West made this song after he got in a really huge car accident, his mouth was wired shut, but that didn't stop him from rapping, and making music. I really thought that was an amazing move he made, how he sacrificed his pain to make a song for his fans. My favorite album from Kanye West is the "Graduation" album. Personally this album is still amazing, the work, and all the effort that is in the album is just an amazing work of art today. I feel like Kanye West is just a really creative person, and doesn't care what anyone's opinion is.

Mr. West is also a fashion designer, I really think his clothing lines are really different and creative from any other fashion designer. I really like Kanye West's sneakers he's made with Nike, and Adidas. My favorite sneakers he's made were the Adidas Yeezy 350 boost. The all black colorway was my favorite, I really wish the sneaker was at an affordable price but they're up on eBay for a couple thousand dollars. Another sneaker I love was the Red Octobers, they're a really nice shoe, and it stands out from any other sneaker you'd see in stores.

50 Cent Get Rich or Die Tryin

When I was growing up my favorite rapper use to be 50 Cent. 50 Cent was a really huge artist in the early 2000's, and he still is today. Everyone at school knew him, and in my opinion I thought he was one of the coolest rappers growing up. The songs I listened to were, Candy Shop, In Da Club, and How we do. I remember these 3 songs were really popular and it use to be on the radio all the time. 50 Cent is a huge entrepreneur, he has his own clothing line, shoes, drinks, etc. As I was a kid in elementary, I can remember that 50 Cent came out with some sneakers from Reebok shoes, from watching the Candy Shop video he has the sneakers on, and I begged my parents that I wanted some sneakers from 50 Cent. The sneakers I got were the all black, Reebok G-Unit sneakers. All of my friends in elementary thought my sneakers were super cool and they really loved them, I felt cool for once.

50 cents music, is really amazing. All of his albums are really well produced and they all have a true story behind it. My favorite album from 50 Cent is the "Get Rich or Die Tryin" album. This album was my all time favorite, because it was based off the movie he made about himself. My favorite tracks from the album are Hustlers ambition, window shopper, When it rains it pours, and BestFriend. They all had an amazing beat to it and the lyrics were really good in my opinion. After 10 years of this album has been released its still an amazing album in my opinion.
