My Top 5 Most Ridiculous/Random/Impluse Music Related Purchases

Image
We have all had moments were we've made ridiculous impulse purchases. Here is a look at the top 5 must ridiculous impulse purchases I have made relating to music.  5. Lil Wayne T-Shirt 2007 In 2007 I saw Lil Wayne in concert and granted this was when Lil Wayne was in his prime. I decided before the show that I was going to buy a shirt when I got there. For various reasons I had to buy the shirt after the concert. All that was left was this long sleeve red Lil Wayne shirt and the only size they had was XXL. At the time I wore a medium. I believe I wore the shirt a few times but it was way too big for me. 4. White Boxers After Usher's video for the song U Don't Have To Call came out I decided I would only wear white boxers. 3. Regrettable CD purchases Before all of the streaming options we have today you have to take leaps of faith when buying CDs. I was probably quicker to purchase CDs then I should have. My two most regrettable album purchases are Tha Joke

Gucci Mane Wedding Song Intro

Image
This post is focused on a viral video from about a year ago where a couple used Gucci Mane's song "Bricks" as their wedding intro. I know very little about weddings but I'm pretty sure the second most important song after the first dance is the intro song where the couple joins the after party. I have seen various videos weddings using fun songs like Yeah by Chris Brown and the 90s Bulls intro. Those are fun songs and are pretty family friendly. This guy came into the wedding hot with a song based on Gucci Mane talking about the copious amount of drugs he possesses. A little background about the rapper Gucci Mane for those who aren't familiar. Gucci Mane is from Atlanta and really broke onto the scene with his song "So Icy" in 2005. The rapper has had numerous other hits and has introduced to multiple artists from Atlanta. Gucci Mane also has a face tattoo of an ice cream cone. He recently was released from jail and also came out with a new album c

A Look Back at a CD I Made in High School

Earlier today I found a CD that wasn't labeled so I decided to see what music I put on this CD. I had no idea what I was about to hear... The juxtaposition from this collection of songs on the CD gave me a plethora of memories. My guess is I made this CD was made around 10 years ago probably in 2009-2007. Back in high school I made mix CDs once a week or so. This was before streaming options were available and my iPod could only hold 100 songs. (I was feeling cool in AP statistics class. Yes, that's a Public Enemy poster in the classroom.) When this CD was made I was: -16-17 -Played a ton of FIFA -Drove a green 1996 Jetta -My favorite rapper was Lil Wayne or Jay Z -Crunk Juice was my favorite album at the time -Lived by the motto any pizza can be a personal pizza if you're hungry enough Track 1- Why You Wanna- TI I totally forgot about this song until it came on. This was a single from TI and is a great song to play in the summertime. Track 2- When

My Summer Sixteen Tour Experience/Review

I'M OUT HERE LOOKING FOR REVENGE ALL SUMMER SIXTEEN The scene from my seat at the Xcel Energy Center when Drake played Hotline Bling On Sunday July 24th I had the pleasure of going to the Summer Sixteen Tour at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. The listed concert lineup featured Roy Woods, dvsn, Future and Drake. Unfortunately Roy Woods didn't preform but that was the only negative with show. Drake aka Aubrey aka October's Very Own is as popular as ever. Not only is has he been one of the hottest rappers for the past couple years but he has transcended rap and is a pop culture icon. You can hear phrases from his biggest songs on your local news. What a Time to Be Alive The name of Drake's mixtape with Future- The phrase is used anytime something unusual or when something is a sign of the current times. YOLO - An acronym that stands for You Only Live Once the phrase is featured in Drake's song The Motto. Can be used to justify ones actions w
