top 10 songs as of aug 31 at 10:08

These songs are in no particular order and they rang from all genres of music.
1. C.R.E.A.M. by The Wu-Tang Clan. This is a rap song from the 90's produced by talented young artist from New York. I really enjoy listening to this song because of its slow jazzy beat with multiple very solid rappers.
2. Bam Bam by Sister Nancy. This is a reggae song that has a kind of mellow but still up beat song but some parts of the song are in a different language so i can't tell you what the song is really about.
3. Tony the Beat by The Sounds. This is a Rock/Punky kind of song. I say "Punky" because of the female singer. I lover her voice and I think she sound so HOT!!!
4. Castles Made of Sand by Jimi Hendrix This is a Rock. Out of all the Jimi Hendrix songs I've listened to this is my favorite. I really like his voice and he's my favorite guitarist of all time I think.
5. Party and Bullshit (Ratatat Remix) by Biggie Smalls This is a Rap song. I really like this song because its about my two favorite thing to do; party and bullshit. the regular version of this song is still a good song but the way that Ratatat (a DJ from New York) flipped the beat is so cool to me.
6. Once Upon Your Dead Body by Coheed and Cambria. I really like this song because of the lead singers unique voice and just the good vibes from the instruments and the bands chemistry.
7. Cherry Banana Pumpkin Pie by Andre Nickatina. This is a Rap song, kind of Gangsta Rap but its only because that's what Andre Nickatina's swagger is all about. He has another song with kind of similar music but a slower beat but I like this one way better because it gets me excited and ready to go. This is like my favorite song to start out a mix CD i make for almost any occasion.
8. U Beezy by Andre Nickatina and Mac Dre. This is a Rap song but its also one of my favorite collaborations I've ever heard. Mac Dre's lyrics come out so smooth and natural that is sounds amazing when he raps. And the beat is so crazy, I could never get sick of this song.
9.Young Folks by Peter, Bjorn and John. This is like an alternative sounding rock song that is so amazing, Ive never met anyone who didn't enjoy the song even just a little bit. There's a background whistling noise that is also in the movie Kill Bill Vol 1, that makes me feel so happy but in the movie is so eerie. That's why i think i like it, because it makes me feel so many different ways.
10. 18 with a Bullet by Pete Wingfild. This a a slow song with this singer who's voice is so high he kind of sound like a female singer. It blows my mind every time I here it, his vocals are crazy.

intro to me

Yo. My name is Roberto Zamora and I am from Richmond, California. I signed up for this class because of the sex and drugs part, the Rock n' Roll part is just a plus. I actually do like Rock music but my favorite music is Hip Hop. I tried to attend a Rock concert but I got kicked out before the show started. My favorite Rock artist is Jimi Hendrix and my favorite band is Led Zeppelin. I'm pretty juiced to be in this class, it seems real interesting and fun. This is my only class that I have where I am not stressing about all the assignments that I am receiving.

College life is very crazy and hectic but still hella fun. This step to college is a real wake up call from high school. I came from a small private high school in Richmond where there was only 400 or 500 student to this huge campus where i don't know any one or anything around me. Pushing my self to go to class is extremely hard because i have anybody telling me to do anything. I can just sit down and do nothing for the rest of my life. I love chillin all day with my homies but i have to go to class but that shits cool i guess. this is probably my favorite class next to my math lab. i'm actually excited to learn about rock n roll becuase i'm not very cultured in this history of this genre of music like i am rap and hip hop.
