N.W.A

This week we had one of the most interesting classes ever! I loved listening to N.W.A but once you started to put on other stuff, my mind drifted away. I like how explicit their lyrics are. It keeps it funny and interesting. It made me laugh and keep my full attention on them. Every one of their songs have the coolest beats. It makes me want to play in the car at full volume and pretend to be black.

In Gansta Gansta there was one line that made me think of Natalie's Rap on SNL/Lonely Island album. "We want to fuck you Eazy, I want to fuck you too!"

                                                     Life ain't nothing but bitches and money. 

Next was Dopeman, and you betcha I was listening! Right off the bat, I was like BREAKING BAD VIBEEESSSS. Also I love all the ways the dissed Strawberry! I laughed so hard I actually snorted. (am I pig or girl the world will never know) Now I will quote some of my favorite lines from Dopeman.

• "There's another girl in the Dopeman's life. Not quite a bitch but far from a wife. She's called The Strawberry and everybody knows. Strawberry! Strawberry! Is the next neighborhood hoe."
• "Give the bitch a rock and she'll fuck the whole crew"
• "But don't fuck around, she'll give you gonorrhea. If people ain't hip to the fact, Strawberry is a girl selling pussy for crack."
•  Yo, Mr. Dopeman, you think your slick Ya sold crack to my sister and now she’s sick But if she happens to die because of your drug I'm puttin’ in your culo, a .38 slug

Snow Patrol

I have found my new favorite song! It's called The Lighting Strike and it's perfect for every occasion! When I'm taking a test/doing homework, jogging, tanning or falling asleep. I was at Jack&The Beanstalk and a trailer for Vikings came up and I was like whooa this is a really good song! So I shazamed and boom! ~Magic~ Since then I have heard this song everywhere I went. Malls, trailers and my brother was listening to it. (I think it's a sign) But anywhoo, I like this song because the instruments are so calming and his voice is beautiful! Perfect song for everything! I'm seriously obsessed with this song and I don't think the obsession is going anywhere soon.

 

also this music video totally rocks 

Skyrim Bards

Another Skyrim post Ann wtf??? Yes I know! But anyways today I'm blogging about mlisteni actual words! So first off, bards are singers that you encounter in Inns and you can request for them to sing songs. Not all bards are the same though. Some suck so bad my ears bleed but some are so good I will take time out of my quests to hear them sing a song or two!  Their songs are like fun ways for you to learn about the history of Skyrim.

Songs will also change depending on if you're an Imperial or a Stormcloack so you will either get 'The Age of Agression' or 'The Age of Opression'. Theres not that big of a difference but I still like The Age Of Agression just for the line " Down with Ulfric! The killer of kings! On the day of your death we will drink and we'll sing!" (Although I might be baised because I'm an Imperial and it was the first song I've evee heard in the game)

Another favorite is 'Dragonborn Comes' but only when Lisena sings it! I've tried listening to other bards sing it and I'm just like noooooooo. There's this one Orc I met that claimed to be a 'bard' and when he tried singing I just left as fast as I could. Im actually buying the Hearthfire DLC so I can have my own personal bard in the house!

To be totally honest, I have forgotten what we listened to this week so Im just going to blog about Camp Rock. (What is my life comming to?) So I was on Netflix and I was like Camp Rock 1 and 2?! Heck yes! I watched them both and I was instantly taken back to 6 grade when I thought this was the bomb diggity. I actually liked some of the songs! I like 'Gotta Find You and This Is Me from the first Camp Rock and Introducing Me from the second. (Totally fell in love with Nick Jonas when he sang Introducing Me in 7th grade lol) 

Tots know all the words

Skyrim

So these past couple of weeks I have been getting really into Skyrim. I don't know what's so addicting about it! (It's probably the infinite number of side quests) But the music in it is soooo good! It just fits so perfectly with everything that goes on and it sounds so dramatic and awesome, I love it. Also my favorite is the song they play right after you kill a dragon and you absorb its soul. So cool, makes killing dragons even cooler then it already is.

There is more then one. This isn't the exact one that I had in mind but it's all I could find! It's still super cool though.

This is the song they use in their trailer and the main screen when you go to load your game. So epic. It makes me want to do something cool like flip off a wall. When I play, I have this like gaming chair? that you plug your xbox to and it plays everything from the game through the speakers. It sounds cool without it, but with the chair and the sound intensified it is just so awesome like I can't even describe it. Ugh the music in Skyrim is too cool man

Everything About This Week

I really liked everything we listened to and learned about in class this week. When we first started this week and we were listening to Michael Jackson, I was like awhhhhhhhhhhhh yeaaaaah. I love the Thriller album! My favorite song of all time by Michael Jackson has to be P.Y.T. It's catchy, easy to jam out to, and it holds some of the greatest memories for me. (Yes, I was having a mini jam session in the back of the class)

Then we were listening to a bunch of hip hop and some of them were really funny and some of them made we want to go home and listen to it on repeat. I didn't catch all the names but I liked listening to them. They also made the class go by in a breeze.

Game of Thrones

So I was having a Game of Thrones marathon in preparation for season three and I heard a song in season two that sent some serious shivers down my side. It's a gorgeous song that I heard in a the end credits and had to shazam immediately. It's called The Rains of Castamere. The song is about Tyrion Lannister and how he destroyed House Reyne after they tried to rebel against his house. The main purpose of the song is to remind people not to cross a Lannister.(lol this makes no sense to the people who don't watch it but whateves)

I like it because it's an actual song in the show that the characters are aware of and talk to each other about. It's also played in pieces at major events but it took the cake when they played in the credits after The Battle of Blackwater. Also whoever sang it, I am in love with their voice.
                                       
I think the reason I got major shivers was because the entire episode was brutal and intense. It was loud and full of chaos and while the battle was outside, the queen was sitting quietly at the Iron Throne with her son about to drink the poison. Then backup came and the Lannisters prevailed at the end. It was dramatic and suspenseful and that's when the song played calmly and basically saying "Don't fuck with the Lannisters". It gave me shivers.
