ALL MUSIC!

Daily writing prompt
What is your favorite genre of music?

I create Hiphop music and work primarily with Hiphop Artist. I couldn’t possibly say I have a favorite music genre. I love all music. I could listen to Tupac and then turn on Johnny Cash right after. I went an entire month listening to Classic Rock after a friend of mine passed away. I listen to Classical music when Im reading or learning something new. Jazz, Country, and 80’s Pop. How could I choose? Without these different genres of music. We may never have experienced the art of Sampling. We need different music genres like we need each other. You should never contain yourself in some bubble of exclusion. Thats not good for your soul or well being.

What makes a teacher great?

I could always tell when a teacher was really enjoying their job or not. They are more important than they realize. I unfortunately only had a handful actually make an impact. We need more of these individuals. I wish some of them knew how important they were. Some kids need a positive role model. They don’t always have them at home. My history teacher was great how he got every one involved. That’s the main thing I would say to do. Get them involved and motivate the kids.

My Friend

Daily writing prompt
Describe a man who has positively impacted your life.

I had a friend from my high school that definitely helped me become a better person. We got closer over the summer after we graduated. I will never forget him because he was able to stay such a positive person in a negative environment. Where we grew up wasn’t terrible but also wasn’t too great either. We had to deal with a lot of temptations and some danger too. I admired him because he was able to completely ignore all that stuff. Yet he still was popular in school and played basketball. He was active in his church and I never heard him use bad language. Just a really good person. Sadly he passed away when I was 19. I kept his number on my cell phone for years. That dude made an impact at such a young age. I will always miss & respect him. So rest in peace my friend Kendrick.
