Music is a big part of my life. I usually listen to a lot of different types of music. The type of music that I listen to usually depends on the mood I’m in. I would have to say that my favorite kind of music is hip hop. The definition of hip hop is: Hip hop music is a genre of music typically consisting of a rhythmic style of speaking called rap over backing beats performed on a turntable by a DJ. Hip hop music makes me calm myself when I’m stressed out. It makes me not think about what I’m stressed about. Another thing that hip hop music allows me to do is to get pumped up for something. Like before I go out for the night, I love turning on the radio and dancing around while I’m getting ready. Also, before an event, like baton, I like to put on hip hop so I’m not thinking about being stressed out about the event, I’m just getting pumped up to do my best. One of my favorite Hip hop artists is Jordan sparks. I know she is new to the music world, but I feel that she really stepped up her game and got into the industry fast. Her song tattoo is one of my favorites and makes me think about how I feel about relationships.
Another kind of music that I like is country. I don’t like a whole lot of country, but sometimes I’m in the mood for it. I like to listen to country when I’m kind of in a down mood. Country usually makes me think about what’s going on in my life. This usually has to do with what the song is talking about. Also, I like to listen to country when I’m trying to go to sleep. My favorite group is the Rascal Flats. The song titled “My Wish” was our class song my senior year.

I do the same thing with soccer. I have to listne to hip hop or rap before I play because it pumps me up and gets me excited for the game. I also like country music too and it’s more of relaxing happy music.

OK, Lynette. Either hip hop or country would work (see my comments on Kristen’s blog for country). It would be great to write about the history of hip hop and how it got started. Or you could write about dance or athletics and how it relates to hip hop or a movie that is driven by hip hop and tells a story about dance or sports. You could also write about women in hip hop.
