Cameron Jabril Thomaz, or better known by his stage name Wiz Khalifa, is an artist that has just emerged into the limelight. He has songs played on the radio, he sells out concerts, and he even has his own hand gesture. Taylor gang had absolutely no meaning before Wiz Khalifa came onto the scene. However before his fan following Wiz Khalifa was an underground rapper from Pittsburgh who was passionate about music. As an avid rap-music listener, I remember a time when I would mention Wiz Khalifa's name and people would have no idea who I was talking about. I first started listening to Wiz when he came out with his iTunes single back in the summer of 2008. I stumbled upon his name on accident because I was just looking for something new for my iPod. The name of that single is called "Say Yeah" and I fell in love with it. Yeah, he talked about the typical material things that rappers tend to talk about but his flow and delivery were on point. I never grew tired of that song, and I thought it was so cool that the beat was made out of the Alice Deejay song "Better Off Alone". This encouraged me to look at some of his older stuff such as his debut album "Show and Prove" and some of his mixtapes like "Prince of the City-Welcome to Pistolvania", "Grow Season", and "Prince of the City 2". I fell in love with his music not because I could relate, but because I could listen to it anywhere and it was perfect for any situation. His music was perfect and I could tell he would have a bright future ahead.
Keep your paragraphs short. Large chunks of texts (especially when they are in a red funky font) aren't easy on anyone's eyes.
ReplyDeleteAs for the writing, Sam, give us more. You speak about the music in abstractions and don't give us a lot of detail about why we should listen, what makes it different. Look at some really good writing about music and notice how it describes albums and songs and voice and rhythm. It usually uses a lot of figurative language, metaphors and such and sensory description of the experience of listening.
