right now i just wanna talk about the first artist i ever liked, enjoyed, and identified with on my own
when it comes to music, the first person i ever really consistently liked was ice cube my parents used to always listen to gospel and i never enjoyed it, like i never understood why people liked it, the music was just always too loud to me.. (and it reminded me of church, which i COULD NOT STAND but that's a blog in itself) even today i kinda feel like if you like traditional black gospel music then u should have the capacity to like hard rock also.. simply because it is loud music, u have a full choir singing and an organ and fast drums.. a lot of that old gospel was just people yelling, and i'm not trying to insult it, i'm just being serious, like if you could yell and still carry a note then i guess u were considered great but my point is, to me it was too loud and just sounded like noise, like i never could tell what they were saying so i was never into anything i was exposed to as a kid.. i honestly used to hate music because i just never liked anything i heard but i remember back in the day ice cube would be on tv sometimes and i always used to like his songs.. like i remember "check yo' self" and "today was a good day" used to come on and i used to love those songs, they just never got old to me.. and then i remember when he came out with "one nation under a groove" i couldn't get enough of it.. i remember thinkin "man ice cube is so fresh!" lol also i used to be kinda chubby as a kid so seeing ice cube (who was chubby also) rock the mic was off the hook to me when i think back, he was the first artist i ever really liked and i liked him on my own without it being forced on me by other people, it would just be like i'd happen to hear one of his songs and i'd love it and wish it would come on again today i still love ice cube and think he's definitely one of the best rappers ever, based on his contributions to hip hop, he's definitely legendary.. those old songs i remember seeing on mtv and bet still hold up to this day peaCe (p.s. this blog may spawn a few other blogs such as "what artist inspired me the most" and "why i hated church as a kid")

JaimsThese are my blogs from 2009. I started them in May of that year when I couldn't work on music but still needed a way to express myself. Archives
