Journal 5 - Nate Riddle

Music plays a big role in my life and many others as well. Music has many different aspects that it plays in my life. It is an escape, a stress reviler, a mood swinger, and even a life changer. Music is so powerful, I listen to music everyday and I bet that's the same for everyone. Music is the universal language. It brings people together and I truly believe that. The kind of music that means the most to me is Hip-Hop. I love Hip-Hop because it can speak to you at times and make some things relate-able.

My favorite Album, DAMN by Kendrick Lamar. This album was fantastic and there is not a single song on it that I do not like. 

Kendrick Lamar is an inspiration to me. This is because he is so honest and real with his music/lyrics. I could probably rap and sing this whole album to you just because I listened to this album nonstop when it came out. I couldn't stop listening because it was addicting and relate-able. He sings and raps about the world and its all true. And for that reason I listen to him at least once a day. The song that I like best on this album is 'LOVE.' My girlfriend and I listen to it together at least once a day because its a reminder that we love one another and makes us happy. The best line in the song is 'Keep it a hundred, I'd rather you trust me than to love me, Keep it a whole one hund': don't got you, I got nothin' This is true, i'd rather have trust over love. So if you don't trust someone how could you love them? But as long as everything is honest and the truth then everything will be okay.
