The Underground Rap Scene
Blood, Sweat, and Tears the three things that all underground rappers have in common. You all know that mainstream rap is mostly about the big bass beats and repetitive hooks and this can get boring because after awhile they all sound the same! However undeground rappers add a raw element that people can really relate to. Taken that they do sometimes rap about guns and shit, they only say those thing when there's a meaning behind it. Garcia (on the left) is a rapper that is making a name for himself through sounds like "Come and Get it" and "Darkest Dayz". His song Darkest Dayz you really feel the pain of his people and in some cases can relate to the trials and tribulations that he has undergone. I've put a link to that song so check it out and be prepared cuz it is very heart felt. These underground rappers just have so much pain built up inside of them and when they speak they preach their feelings and everyone,no matter what colour,race,sex or age, everyone listens because when someone is emptying thier hearts out, respect makes you listen. I strongly reccomend checking out Garcia because he is defientley on the rise and his songs are so good that they just blow you away every listen!!

Anna Nicole Smith: Why So Famous
The trouble I find with Anna is that she was not actually that famous or well known, except maybe from Playboy, of course I only know she's in Playboy from a..friend! But anyway why is it that as soon as Anna died her celeb status shot through the roof!! It's like we (the population of non-celebs) just had nothing better to do with our lives and thought "oh a shady celeb dies lets broadcast her life story over the course of a couple months!" Or it could just be that humans have a natural intrest in the misfortune of others and /or gossip and I mean the juicy stuff, not like "hey did you know doug just got a dog?" I mean like "Anna Nicole smith's son just died", then a couple weeks later she overdoses and every wanna-be daddy tries to claim they were the father of her recently born baby. I personally have had no actual intrest in the whole Anna Nicole Smith gossip but it seems the whole of North America has, with over half of all T.V broadcasts featuring Anna Nicole, even the family Guy has a reference to Anna. In my opion Anna Nicole Smith was a sleezy chick that got rich off of sex and should not have gotten so famous any prostitute could do what Anna has acomplished in her lifetime. Of course no disrespect and rest in peace Anna!

Graffitti In Cities- Loath It or Love It
Throughout recent years there has been much debate as to whether or not graffitti should be kept in cities as part of the scenery. Graffitti artists pride themselfs on their work and most of the paintings they produce are quite amazing, (just take a look at the painting above!) Major cities such as Chicago are known for the artwork the posses, in fact in some cases the graffitti is a main tourist attraction. I personally belive that the graffitti in cites is a huge part of the personality that the population in that certain city has, the paintings are part of the culture of suburban life and without it the towns and cities would be a dull stretch of buildings with no actually appeal. In this matter there is only two sides I find either you love it and support it one hundred percent or you hate it and fund the government to get rid of it. I'm on the loving side, I mean just check out the top pic that painting is dope!!
This is a piece that someone tagged on the Berlin Wall before it was smashed, The time and energy spent in doing these things is so crazy that I don't even think I could stand around and watch someone paint it on the wall let alone paint it myself!! However my respects go out to these guys (and girls) because thier talent is just so crazy!!
I only have one thing to say to the fact that the government is making an effort to help stop the destruction of these pieces of art: ABOUT TIME!!!! In my humble opinon (lol) graffitti should be viewed as the cities personality and left alone just because you can't draw and paint as good as these artists don't hate they got mad skillz!! Do you think the graffitti in cities should be left alone or not.
P.S. If not why the NOT!!!!!
