Freestyling and Rapping


Freestyling and Rapping 

At this point, I am really writing about anything. Today my blog will talk about a form of art. Freestyling and Rapping. Many of my friends will show me songs that they and others have made, sometimes copying current rappers' styles and sometimes coming up with their own. Often times the beats on these songs are even better than some beats on current top songs of the world. No, honestly you should hear them. Anyway, I always admired people who could sing or rap lines that rhymed and matched up in sync with the beat. Being able to feel the music and produce lyrics that make sense is crazy to me, especially the ones that tell an entire story. This brings me to the experience that led me to write about this.

    So, the other day my friends once again showed me their songs feeling themselves as it was played. Then they look at me and start trying to convince me to get on a song with them. So now I am in my room trying to come up with lyrics that might tell a story while having funny references throughout. So far I am not really producing anything good LOL. I am currently not even thinking about it to be honest

as I think it will sound better if I come up with something when the time is right and it almost flows freely from mind to paper. You could call this being in the zone or being one with music. But not just music as this can apply to anything one is doing, sports, cleaning, shopping and definitely meditating. 

    Make sure to let me know in the comments if you guys find this ability to freestyle over beats just as fascinating as me or if it is just simply because I grew up listening to Hip-Hop music. Funny enough I have had lots of friends and people close to me make their own songs. I did not really think about this until just now but yes I know so many artists. Not that successful financially or globally but successful in their own way. As they have produced a masterpiece. And this is also why I will try my luck. It is up to interpretation and if I like the song and what I put on it then ... so what. I am able to listen to it and get hyped up and happy before games or when I am feeling down. No downside really.

Stress

 Stress Once again we are in a part of the year where classes get more difficult and the amount of work that needs to be done increases. Besides basketball picking up as we are approaching our first official game this Saturday against Kalamazoo College in Michigan. I have numerous tests and assessments in many of my classes to study for. Therefore this off-day tomorrow will be a huge part of my week. Hopefully, it takes some of the stress off me.      Not going to lie, yes I have been under some stress lately which does not help when having to manage many things at once. But perhaps that is where it comes from. Either way, I need to make sure to utilize my off day and get some things done in an effort to free up the rest of my week. Having more time for the remainder of the week is huge as Saturday is scratched and the entire day will go to the game. This means that I only really get Sunday to do the things I need to do. Some of these are important for my future such as writing a cover

Locking In

 Locking In We are finally here, at this point in the semester. The days are getting shorter and the temperatures are dropping and all students are eagerly awaiting the last exam and starting their journey home for Christmas break. I cannot wait for this moment of relief, knowing another semester has come to an end and that I earned my time off. These last 3 weeks move very quickly and before you know it break will be here. Even if it seems too far away at this moment in time. But with all the assignments, final projects and exams all lying in these 3 weeks it is essential to lock in and not slack off. Some deciding factors of grades are made during this time so I advise you and myself to just push through. It will be over soon.     One way to do this if you haven't done so already is to write down all the tasks you have for the rest of our time here. Not only does this give you a better understanding of what and how much time you should invest. If entering this data on a calendar

Struggle and Pain

 Struggle and Pain The beauty of struggle and pain is something that oftentimes is forgotten, especially for people going through hardships. The bottom line is that without struggle or pain or both, you will not be able to flourish into the best version of yourself. Bamboo takes a year to sprout out the ground, during which it expands roots underneath the surface, building a foundation, for when it does sprout it grows so fast it is considered to be the fastest growing plant. However, this is not always the case because a lot of the time you will be dealt a deck of cards with challenge after challenge just trying to push and keep you down and often it feels like that breaking through the ground will never happen. And sometimes it doesn't. But even if it does not work out in one path of life it will in another and do not forget all the valuable lessons and the resilience you have built up to that point. Simply put you would not be the person you are without it.     These feelings of
