I have listened to multiple types of music throughout my life. I have always been a hip-hop/rap fan of music. I cannot remember the exact time or what song/album I heard that really made me start to listen to this type of music. I listened to plenty of hip-hop songs in the past but not specifically one album in particular. However, I do remember the first hip-hop album that I downloaded from iTunes my sophomore year of high school. This album was I Am Not A Human Being by the rapper Lil Wayne. I have always been a Lil Wayne fan because I like the music he makes. I anticipated that the release of this album would be good. I remember sitting at my desk listening to the different tracks on the album and immediately enjoying each song. I clicked the download button without hesitation. Each song evoked a 'good feeling' and, at that moment, I fell in love with this type of music. I fell in love with searching for and hearing new hip-hop music. It's hard to explain, but there is a certain type of emotion that connects me to this type of music and I cannot seem to get enough. In my opinion, everyone should listen to this album because it may strike a positive nerve in someone that they have never felt before. The innovative beats and lyrical cleverness of the album add to its overall effect. For me, these songs evoke certain memories/emotions/moods that I can really connect to. Everyone should at least give it a listen in order to experience it for oneself.
