23 Night Videos

Last year as a sixth grader, I wasn’t as irresponsible as I thought I was looking back on it now. I got most of my homework in on time, I had good grades and I was organised. I had good friends to help me through the hard parts and I like to think that I helped others as well.

He started rapping not because other people was rapping and getting their names known, but because he wanted to do it for his mother who died from breast cancer, but that’s not what he always wanted to do. The two things he was known most for though were being fun and good on the court. He played basketball up to his junior year where he couldn’t play anymore because he was to busy in the streets.

Growing up, I thought I was always being punished. If I wanted to attend a birthday party I would not be allowed. If I wanted to go to my friends’ house after school I could not. If I wanted to attend a school dance I was told not to. Growing up, I was isolated from my peers and what they were able to experience. My peers were able to grow a close bond with other kids their age while I was not. Instead, I was able to create long-lasting friendships with my sisters.

The Apollo Theatre featured some of New York's native rappers Friday Night in a concert paying tribute to Classic Hip-Hop. The rappers performed to a sold out crowd that aged from teens to adults well into there 60s. I know I saw a few grandpas rocking their 90s jerseys!

It was 8th grade, and I was almost a highschooler. Almost a highschooler! And I couldn’t believe I was being treated like a toddler still learning to walk.

Really high and loud all night long… including my self and my friends, the audience seemed really appreciating his hit medley at the end. It made us to believe that he plays over the top with excellent showmanship. Our waitress was little busy most of that night but the cocktail was good so it was okay and the lighting was perfect. Oh, one

There was approximately 15,000 people who showed up to his concert, and 100,000 people who watched on live tv. The authorities had to block the downtown streets for the concert. The crowd was so large it reached as far

I just finished checking out his music, he is very raw. I believe he just another rapper representing Compton. He has a unique style that relates to the younger generation. I think he does an exceptional job at telling the story that has been told over and over again about: police brutality, black identity, property, broken dreams, hustling, making money, drug use, slanging (selling), and exploiting black women. I believe that his lyrics speak on what the streets consider to be the truth, he is just saying/living what everyone else in the street is saying/living, but the difference is he has the talent and the platform to broadcast the struggle and the ugliness in the streets. I think he is very good at rapping about the current struggles in the streets and at the same time he is offering his fans a escape through music and someone who can relate to their daily struggle. I believe if I take to the time to really study his lyrics there would probably be a deeper message in some of his songs. I also keep in mind that it's a business, so he uses the brokenness in the ghetto to make a profit. I think his album "How to

Soon enough, 7:00 pm came. We were all scurrying to get all of our stuff in order before we went on stage. First we had to introduce ourselves. I had to walk on stage and say, “Riley Hall, Wayland!” in the most enthusiastic way I possibly could. Then, we had to get ready for swimsuit/active wear. We had about 2 minutes to be changed and ready. I had owned that stage. I bounced around in my hot pink Vans and you would’ve thought that I was actually at the

went from all passing grades to almost failing because of the way the school day and year was.

This summer I was in Beauty and the Beast. This was their last show of the summer. During this show, we sang so many fun songs and we had the chance to dance to them, too. My favorite song that everyone seemed to be in was

Everyone that's been to a performance has loved him, such as family, friends, and fans. Kid Blue and BSK get gigs where they go out and perform their songs that they haved worked super hard on. Kid Blue works his butt off to get all of the lyrics, all of the beats, melodies, and rehearsing the songs he writes. The most recent performance Kid Blue had, was in a contest. There were probably about 100 people, and 1 of those people just happens to be Eminem's DJ. Eminems DJ was there to help everyone that performed he gave them stuff they could work on to be a better performer. For him performing is awesome, he took a whole new level.

Around sixth grade, however, I gave up trying to please them; I gave up trying to make them proud. That fall when school started I decided to get away from the constant negativity that devoured my home. At the age of twelve my only escape was school, and I took every opportunity I got. With no regrets I even participated in activities

As a high school student the first years didn’t really care and I was not responsible,

Subsequently, my mother saw my pain and decided to relocate back to Atlanta. I became acquainted with some children from the wrong side of the tracks and my life began to spiral out of control. I would stay out late on school nights and often missed school because I thought hanging out with my new found family was more important. Soon my grades began to plummet. I saw no way to bring up my grades and decided to drop out of high school in the twelfth grade.
