It's a hard knock life is basically where you have a life that's so difficult where it seems like all the aspect in the world is against you and you're a just a fragile soul with no-one to save you. "Jay-Z's "Hard Knock Life" It's a hard knock life for us, it's a hard knock life for us, instead of treated, we get tricked, instead of kisses, we get kicked, it's a hard knock life" Urban Dictionary
I don't knock what it's life to live a hard life, maybe it's the fact I'm still a naive teenager that somehow still sees some good in the world and strives to help change it. But how? How can we change the world that's so corrupted by so much hatred, injustice, and cruelty? No matter how much we seem to try, there's always war around the corner. You just can't hide from it because someone always gets caught in the crossfire and unluckily loses their life.
"No one cares for you a smidge when you're in an orphanage". As you grow up, if you're lucky enough to still be in contact with your family after you create your new life, then be HAPPY! Don't be envious of what others have, that makes you a greedy cow and you weren't born to be one. For those who lose contact are out in a place filled with wicked spirits fending for themselves.
So be grateful for what you. Don't resentful of others and you certainly mustn't wish bad things on them.
"It's a hard knock life for us. It's a hard knock life for us. No one cares for you a smidge when you're in an orphanage. It's a hard knock life. It's a hard knock life. It's a hard knock life!"
These are two of the greatest rappers in music history! I don't care what you say! Though if you intend to say otherwise, then you are a complete imbecile. When Tupac and Biggie's lives were stolen from them, it suddenly felt like the world had been robbed of its treasure. A treasure that it appreciated, one that started from the ghetto and somehow manages to dominate the world that was once branded them as criminals. Born Tupac Amaru Shakur on June 12, 1971, and died September 13, 1996. Tupac's music style was like no another, in his own way; Tupac was a poet. His lyrics spoke for those who were oppressed, it was the protest music that no one had ever thought of... With several sides to him, Tupac was one artist that wasn't afraid to write about his vulnerabilities. Inspired by a wide range of distinguished writers such as Maya Angelou, William Shakespeare, Sun Tzu and Alice Walker. He proved to be a ravenous reader. His debut album 2Pacalypse had revealed a sentient side of Pac. This still remains to be one of my favourite album of all time that landed a place onto my playlist. In his album, Pac struck poverty, injustice and police brutality in the songs, "Trapped and Brenda's Got a Baby". If Tupac's songs were placed in front of me and I was asked to pick an anthem; I'd pick Keep Ya Head Up" probably because it was the fact that it was dedicated to a little girl who was robbed of her future around my age, Latasha Harlins. I feel like when Pac released this song, he also shows his kindhearted side as well as his renowned determination with the album title "Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z". Freakin' awesome, right? What kind of artist would have titled their album with such a distinctive name?
Biggie was born Christopher George Latore Wallace on May 21, 1972, and died March 9, 1997. He spat deep, brisk lyrics which appeared to be deeper than Life After Death. Biggie was often escorted by Sean Combs aka Puffy Daddy or Diddy nowadays on some of his tracks. His style was muffled and cool. He was blessed with the ability to pile several bars on top of each other with fast progression. I loved the fact that there was always "uh" in his songs because it showed that he was thinking or warming up to his next huge single. He was so good with words that he was able to arrange them in a way that works well for him. It was extraordinary how he was able to compose his songs his head rather than writing them down on paper. Jay-Z inherited a true gift! Mo money Mo problems have got to be a favourite of mine from the Biggie collection. It basically describes the tough times the people go through when the earn mo money. Something that I thought was good but truly isn't. Biggie was one hell of a BIG POPPA!
Whilst Biggie was from the East-Coast, Pac from the West-Coast this show that they were rivalries. There will never be another Tupac Shakur or Christopher Wallace. But I believe otherwise, though I may not have known them; I don't think they had the hearts to hate each other. And because of that, I believe that 'There will never be another Tupac or Notorious B.I.G!'.
"Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss of life is what dies inside while still alive. NEVER SURRENDER." Tupac
"Life is like a beautiful melody only the lyrics are messed up".Notorious B.I.G
"You gotta be able to smile through all this bullshit". Tupac "We can't change the world unless we change ourselves". Notorious B.I.G
As you have seen on my Meet the blogger that I'm a Christian. I just wanted to share something that's dear to me. Today was a Sunday which means I had to go church. Anyways I've lost my way along the way but this song has somehow managed to rescue me and I love you Joan Osborne for that. 'One of us' is a religious song that questions the human race about what they'd say if God was here. Would they change or do anything differently? In the song, God is described as a 'slob' trying to find his way home, which suggests that the human race has no idea where they're headed. They're all strangers to each other who've lost their path in life and are wandering in the wild. But if a chance were to open up and God asked us to be with him, to be one with him, would we accept or decline it? "If God had a face what would it look like and would you want to see. If seeing meant that you would have to believe, in things like heaven and in Jesus and the Saints and all the Prophets." I ask one question- if God were to appear before us right now, at this very moment would we have the courage to go up to him and tell him our sins and ask forgiveness? I don't know if I would. I still have my faith and still believe in Dieu but I have so many questions but unfortunately, no one to answer them. I'm still a Christian, at least I think so!
We all know how meaningful Drake's songs are like YOLO! So what possessed him to write a song about Queen Bee? Was he at the Mrs.Carter Tour or was it some kind of epiphany?
The song features upcoming artist James Fauntleroy whose signed to Roc Nation and formerly a member of The Underdogs. His soft voice has a mellow like sound to it that would wanna make you burn weed whilst listening to it, kinda of like Jaden Smith's music.
The RnB/Rap remix of Destiny's Child's Say My Name has been a hit with the Beyhive nation. Though it makes me sad that the song won't be on his upcoming album Nothing Was The Same. To me, one of the reasons that I'm so interested in Drake is because maybe his lyrics always seem to come from the heart. Another this is his videos and voice are just awesome.
"Where we learn these values? I do not know what to tell you. I'm trying to find a reason not to go out every evening. I need someone that'll help me think of someone besides myself." Basically, he's saying that we learn things that we don't put to use. He wants a girl he'll care for and spend time with because clubbing every night gets boring."
Fall Out Boy are back and better than before. It saddens me that I had never been to any of their concerts before they took a break but after I heard that they were back on the scene, I was so flipping exciting! Their comeback song "My songs know what you did in the dark" featuring 2 Chainz immediately secured Fall Out Boy's future in the music industry once again. They never seem to disappoint, it's amazing how the next song always seems to top the one before. If you haven't heard of FOB then I suggest you check them out quick because they are one band not to be missed. You'd be a fool to ignore their music seeing as this generation's music is going downhill every single minute. To see a band from the early 21st century appear in the spotlight again is immensely tremendous! So here is what you need to do, go onto Spotify and listen to Fall Out Boy's albums. From Taking This To Your Grave to Save Rock and Roll. Fall Out Boy has been one of my favourite bands since 2006, I'd be heartbroken to see them fade away. In the years that they were inactive, they were building a never to forget come back and tour. FOB remained a highly popular band who produced exquisite music that was extremely influential to their loyal teenage fans. Their last track "Save rock and roll" featuring legendary musician Sir Elton John on a powerful piano driven ballad with Elton and Patrick's soulful voices. And the fact that they were able to get Elton John to corroborate with them is truly an achievement in itself. So let's go back to the album title again "Save Rock and Roll", is this really rock and roll? No, it's not but it's the idea behind it.
So get off your lazy behinds go buy or download an incredible album. You need to open your mind to more meaningful music. Experience new things, love new people like these sexy FOB boys. BELIEVERS NEVER DIE!
It's probably best if we try and get to know each other properly. So I'm a music student and music is a huge part of my life! Growing up with a family that is obsessed with music has helped me define my passion for the industry but yet I haven't decided whether I would like to be a part of the industry in the future. This is the point where I decide what my blog is going to be based on. Possibly music and fashion but I'm extremely shit at fashion reviews. Hopefully, I'll improve. These are some of my music inspirations...

People have no shame. To go around and destroy someone's life is something that you can never be forgiven for. So this is for those people who had the audacity to come and place bombs at a marathon that was dedicated to the 26 souls we had lost at a school shooting in Connecticut.
You're bloody heartless bastards!
Whatever happened to the human race is a tragic thing! Whoever stripped them of their kindness and compassion, I plead that your return it before more innocent souls are stripped of their lives. We shouldn't be living in a world like this! What kind of example are we setting for the next generation?
I used to adore my dad, though I'm not quite sure what happened to us. Maybe after all those years of being a daddy's girl, the false promises got to me and I flipped. It took a certain amount of time for me to come to the realisation that it just wasn't meant to be. No matter how much I wanted it. He had planned something different for me.
The laughter slowly faded. No more phone calls. Nor remembering birthdays, mine and my siblings'. The bond that's never meant to be broken had finally snapped and daddy's little girl was forced into reality a bit too early.
I'm me. The same girl I am today. One that still holds onto a tightrope that's not strong enough but believes he will come around. Why hang on to something that won't be there to save your fall? I guess... well sometimes I think this whole life of mine is merely a dream or nightmare. I'm not too sure. Though I'm let down several times by him, I just can't bring myself to say goodbye because it means shutting him out forever. He's the cause of what I'm today.
Hero--> Villain
If I wasn't so stubborn, I would have said 'adios' ages ago. I would have listened to what people told me. The hole and disbelief that he's carved into my heart will forever stay there. Maybe it won't. But how can I say goodbye to someone whom I'm not too sure of but still manages to fall into his traps like a helpless bunny?
What am I? I'm a 15-year-old girl, who's lost, hurt and scared. Feeling helpless and trapped under the power of the one man, with whom she yet has to decide where her heart lies with him. Who am I? Simple, really! I'm a girl with dad issues! Where did all the happiness disappear to? Am I not allowed to have a relationship with my father? Will I ever be able to escape from his grasp?
