Personal Narrative: My Next Big Rap

I am still in my room because I have butterflies in my tummy. I knew I had to go down so I did and we ended up having so much fun. We ate cake, played games and I opened presents. Just like a normal birthday party, but the time came. I had to go into the woods. I just hoped and prayed that everyone would forget about it but then, out of the blue, Tony

The party ended up not being the complete disaster, I was expecting. I managed to divert most of the inconvenient questions, giving my nice fake smile and saying everything was fine. The girls noticed my hair and went all night, telling me how beautiful I am as a redhead, and that I should have painted that color a long time ago, as I always said I wanted. I didn’t tell them it's been a year or so that I am not a brunette anymore.

Sean "Puffy" Combs has established himself as one of the biggest names in hip-hop (Heal). Combs a Harlem native whose father was killed when he was only 3 years old, rose from the mean streets to the top of the music business (AP wire, March 18). "It is true that he started from scratch, and I don't think that because he was arrested, people will stop buying his albums (AP wire, March 18). Before pursuing his career as a vocalist, Combs was a business-minded Howard University student and an intern at Andre Harrell's Uptown Records. Combs soon became the A&R representative for Uptown. He then began producing for soon to be mega-stars Mary J. Blige, Heavy D., and Jodeci to name a few. After being let go

How was the holiday party? I heard it was a good time, sucks I had to miss out.

In my dream Wiz khalifa spoke words of wisdom to me. He advised me to constantly work on my lyrics and style. He told me to believe in myself. Through confidence and hard work I could be one of the greatest. Once I awake I began to write my first rap song called “yea baby”. I recorded the track at my friend’s house and played it for my family and friends.

I also went and saw my Aunt Ronna i was so happy to see her I also saw my cousin Sheila and my aunt’s cats Oscar and Hailey, the dog Penny and her fish i call her Wish. When i was there with my mom my sister and Aunt Selina who we were taking to be there a week before my cousin’s wedding, with my Aunt Ronna we did crosswords, watched George Lopez, King of Bel-Air, Major Crimes, and Criminal Minds, we also stayed up but that wasn’t with my Aunt Ronna I was up till 2:30 AM.That day Sheila made dinner we had chicken and

At a very young age, I began making my own decisions and putting myself first. After my parents got divorced, my mom decided to move. The move wasn't small. In fact, it was a very large one. We were moving halfway across the world. I did not understand why we had to move but I knew my mom would always make the best decisions for our family. First, it seemed cool when I was telling everybody. But then it hit me hard, knowing that I wasn't going to see my friends and family for a very long time. At the age of eight, I did not understand what was going on. I felt like I was out of the loop. I was going to have to make new friends and meet new people even though I did not know the language. Even when it came to finding something to eat, we did not know how to order food. It was a great struggle that was hard to overcome.

We had a lot of laughs and talked a lot. It was awesome since my big sister, Catherine, who lives in New Orleans since she’s in her third year of dental school, came down with us for a little, and so I got to talk to her again and do stuff with her.

Shortly afterwards we went off to the big event that I had been obsessed for since the day I saw the advertisement; but first we had to get Ness’s friend whose name I think I forgot to ask as I do not remember her name. Then we drove in the car and we got to listen to Foo Fighters as mum wasn’t in the car. After a while we looked for a car park but we couldn’t find one so we parked at Rogers’s work place. Next

Matt said hello and asked them what major and year they were. I felt bad because I remember that I did not teach them that information. However surprisingly I witnessed Ashley signing that she was a junior and a chemistry major. I could not believe that she went on her own and learned some signs on her own. Once we entered into the beanery I saw very familiar faces and felt very comfortable to walk around and chat with everyone. The first people I saw and spoke to was Spencer and Breanna they were very happy to see me because we haven’t been able to hang out in a while. We talked about memories from the past summer and Breanna told me that she was going to Gallaudet next semester. I told her I was so proud of her and would miss her so much.

One aspect of my identity that has shaped my life experience and the way I see the world is my race. I am an African- American who has Nigerian descent from both parents. Growing up African American is hard for many of us, but we always come together to help each other out. We get judged for our skin color, religion, sexuality, and economic status. When I was younger, I always thought about what other people would say about me and how I looked. Even though it was hard seeing how other races portrayed my race, I have learned to embrace my skin color and not let anybody judge me. The society believes that African Americans are lazy, uneducated, and violent. Things people say about me and my race only make me want to prove myself to them that I am proud of my race and would never change myself for anybody.

"Ya'll know what this is," was the perfect way of putting the stamp on So So Def's music. So So Def was one of the few companies that had a very-well respected R&B and Hip-Hop record label. Jermaine Dupri was not only the CEO and founder of So So Def, but he was also one of the top producers in the music business. During its reign, the label sold millions of records and So So Def became synonymous with the city of Atlanta. Dupri is one of the reasons why artists started flocking to Atlanta, and it is still a city where artists can become superstars- as opposed to having to move to New York or Los Angeles.

I hope that you are fine and enjoying your day. Btw, this is Diego from C-SURP. The reason I’m contacting you is because the other day Joe told me you were planning and wanted to get all, or the ones who can, C-SURP students together to do like table games, play pool etc. I like your idea, I was planning and thinking the same thing, to get all the students together so we can all share, get to know each other’s and have a good time. Let me know if you have any other idea, I have some ideas already, because I want that at least we all share more than one time in the week.
