Boosie Badazz and I have a few big things in common. We both do what we love to do for a living. Maybe he’s making slightly more than me. By slightly, I mean there’s a good half-a-million to a mill gap. Despite that, he’s a struggling human just like I am. Boosie has never been afraid to let his emotions run wild through his music. It’s that street gospel which attracts a wide audience. “Wipe It Down” was fun, but it’s not going to keep a generation’s attention like what he’s done after that.
It’s been almost two years since Boosie has been free. A long battle with the legal system following a possible murder charge ended in him walking away a free man, back to his family, friends and fans. Even on the outside, he’s still fighting. Most recently, for his life. Late November ’15, he announced to the world that he has kidney cancer. A few weeks later, he lost half a kidney during surgery but it was a successful operation. This weighed

It’s intimate, a look into the mind of Boosie after finding out: “I cried for hours/ jumped in the shower stressed/ and cried to my mama and my nana.” His words are almost chilling. It’s not clear when he wrote it, before or after surgery, but you’re hearing him as if this is the night following his diagnosis.
Last year, I questioned Boosie Badazz’s career. “Lil Boosie is Free, But Has His Career Survived Jail Time?” was the title of my article. I caught some negativity from a few people who felt I didn’t understand how big he is. To this day, I still believe it was a valid question to ask, but maybe it needed to be asked in a broader scale. Boosie will always have his career and a legion of fans. It seemed like the ‘Free Boosie’ campaign was a lot bigger than the reception for his music following prison. That’s where my my mind was at. Was everyone who screamed for his freedom still paying attention
His next hit was 2004’s “Azz Mixtape Vol. 1”. Another hit “Trill Azz Mixes II” was released in the same year too. Again in paired with rapper Webbie and released their second album together named “Gangsta Musik”. Both Bossie and Webbie now became part of the Warner Bros.-associated Asylum. Boosie released his next album in 2006 named “Bad Azz”. Some guests who appeared on the album are Webbie, pimp C, Yung Joc. The DVD was followed by an interview of Boosie where he told about his father’s drug addiction and his suffering from diabetes. In that year a mixtape also released with the cooperation of DJ Drama named “Streetz is Mine”. His big hit came in 2009 named “Superbad: The Return of Boosie Bad Azz”. He changed his name to Boosie Badazz after his return from the prison in 2014. He issued a mixtape for free digital download named “Life After
Dewey Bozella’s life changed in a matter of minutes putting his innocence at jeopardy. Getting put behind bars for a crime that he never committed. Spending three decades in prison fighting all but the first couple years to get another trailer to try and get the charges dropped, as you continue to try finally you have another case and the court system tells you that if you confess than they would drop your charger. How could anyone want to confess to something that they never did that they weren’t even a part of, than you find out that the court system was burning the evidence to the case. That they had conflicted someone else for the murder of the case, but you were still sitting in prison for the crime. Had that of been me in his situation

In 1993, Ishmael Beah along with his brother Junior and their friend Talloi experienced a new kind of music called "Rap". These young kids loved the expression of rap and hip hop and the culture behind it. Since it wasn't very popular in Sudan.They had organized a rap group when he was just eight and had been rapping together ever since. They had first seen that kind of music on television and met every other weekend to study it. They didn’t even know for a long time what it was called, but were impressed with the fact that black fellows knew how to speak English really fast and to the beat. Later on, Junior had gone to secondary school where other boys had taught him more about foreign music and dance. This is how they came to know about hip-hop.

Although it sounds like an odd question, it is appropriate. Until this assignment I never realized that society holds a lower standard for our celebrities, even dismissing when our super stars put the general public in danger. This is why I believe celebrities should have harsher punishments. For example, how many of you listen to the singer Chris Brown, do you know he got away with assault charges? For those of you who knew he was guilty of assault, but not punished, did it affect your respect and influence your support of Chris Brown?
The BTK Killer is a psychotic male named Dennis Rader. His murder spree started in 1974 with the Otero family. Dennis then went through 10 victims without getting convicted till 1991. Throughout Dennis's crime spree he would send messages and puzzles to KAKE and the police taunting them by basically admitting to it. The reason why they couldn't convict him was that they didn't know who it was at all. The police then send Dennis messages and Dennis sent a message back. Dennis asks the police if it was possible to trace anything on a floppy disk. They responded with no.

Chase, Gilbert. America's Music, from the Pilgrims to the Present. Rev. 2d ed. New York:
Throughout the novel, Beah pays a lot of attention to the natural world because at a young age, his grandmother and father taught him its various meaning. Furthermore, the natural world is a part of the African culture. The natural world is vital to Beah as when he incorporate them in his writing they represent what he is feeling at that tie and to illustrate the mood of the natural world. The moon was very significant to Beah and was mentioned throughout the novel. One example is when an old man in Kabati repeated: "We must strive to be like the moon." (Beah 16) Beah recounted how his grandmother provided him the meaning of that phrase. For Beah, the moon represents hope, therefore, throughout his horrible journey, Beah found comfort in the
Many of the characters think of him as a man who is crazy and would be unsafe if he were to ever come out of his house. “Boo was about six and a half feet tall ... he dined on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch …his hands were bloodstained …there was a long jagged scar that ran across his face; what teeth he had were yellow and rotten ...and he drooled,” ( 8) But the people in the community are wrong about Boo. Who knew that he would turn out to be a hero?
