notorious

Mammoth-sized rapper (6 feet 3 inches and close to 300 pounds) the Notorious B.I.G., alternately known as Biggie Smalls but born Christopher Wallace, released just one album during his lifetime: 1994's Ready to Die. Written by Wallace and produced by Sean Combs, it was a remarkable debut, distinguished by Wallace's thick, commanding baritone and his slow, matter-of-fact rhymes about the hustler's life he left behind for rap. Wallace would not attain true iconic status until after his murder, on March 9, 1997. I personally am not a huge fan of his music but i give him respect for being such a legend.

big gigantic

Big gigacnitc is an innovative band that uses drum and bass mix with a saxophone. I got to see them at acl and it was an amazing show. one of the best shows I have ever been to. They are not a well known band and they have suprised alot of people including myself. They just have this vibe they bring to concerts that makes you want to dance and get into the music.

rubbersoul

Rubber Soul is an undeniable pivot point in the Fab Four's varied discography no matter where, or how, you first heard it. The album was softened up in its original 12-song American edition to jibe with the Dylan/Byrds folk-rock sound, as well as squeeze money from the Parlophone catalog. It is one of there best albums in my opinion by far.

help

Help is a very interesting movie. It is really goofy and stupid but it would be the beatles if it was goofy and stupid. They incorporated the music very well into the movie though. It was interesting to say the least but i guess at least they had a plot a beginning middle and end.

acl

Iam excited for acl, one day down two to go. Friday was fun I saw ben howard, atrax, m83, and avicii. All have great music and i had a blast even though i passed out at avicii. I cant wait for saturday and sunday going to great.

The Beatles

The beatles have been a very influential band for many decades. As I learned in the video we watched this week, "Hard Day's Night" was a very interesting video about the day in the life of the famous band. I have experienced a lot of their music and they seem like up-beat, energetic people. It's interesting to see the life of these men that are a true "rags to riches" story.

Eminem

Eminem is an inspiring rapper who went through many struggles to get to were he is today. I liked his old music but his new stuff kinda sucks. He is one of the select few white rappers to become a big hit. He was one of the first too. Enimen has undeniable talent and i have respect for him being on of the select few white rappers to become so famous.
