Assalamualaikum and a very good morning to my fellow friends and teachers .Today, on this fine morning, I would like to present about a well-known kpop idol,who is it?well,before that,i would like to tell a bit about him.He was born in August 18, 1988 in seoul,south korea.He is a South Korean rapper, singer, songwriter, dancer, lyricist, producer, model, endorser and fashion icon.He’s real name is Kwon Ji Yong or better known by his stage name G-Dragon.That’s right,the GD. Most of us know he’s one of big bang member and also the group leader.He’s a real succesful icon in the kpop industry,but apart from that,we didn’t know how was his life before the success he gained today,so ladies and gentlemans,that was my topic for today.How was GD’s life around 1988 until 2009.

Born and raised in Seoul, South Korea, Kwon Jiyong began his career at the age of 5 as part of the group Little Lula. After releasing a Christmas album, the group's contract was terminated by their record company, to which Kwon described as a “shock”.Although he vowed to his mother that he "wouldn't do it [becoming a singer] again," Kwon Jiyong was scouted by SM Entertainment while on a ski trip with his family. He was a trainee under the record label for five years (8–13 years old), specializing in dance before he left as he was unclear about what he wanted to do. In third grade, Jiyong was introduced to the American rap group Wu-Tang Clan by a friend. Inspired by their music, he developed an interest in rapping and began taking classes. Under People Crew's tutelage, he participated in the release of the Korean hip-hop Flex album in 2001, becoming the youngest Korean rapper at just 13 years old. Although he wrote his own lyrics for the song, he admitted that his English was weak and the story behind the lyrics actually meant "I'm young, but I'm the best." Kwon Jiyong caught the interest of Sean of the hip-hop duo Jinusean from YG Entertainment, who later recommended him to CEO

    A game-changing artist and an impervious celebrity, Lil Wayne began as his career as a near-novelty — a preteen delivering hardcore hip-hop — but through years of maturation and reinventing the mixtape game, he developed into a million-selling rapper with a massive body of work, one so inventive and cunning that it makes his famous claim of being the “best rapper alive” worth considering. Born Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. and raised in the infamous New Orleans neighborhood of Hollygrove, he was a straight-A student but never felt his true intelligence was expressed through any kind of report card. He found music was the best way to express himself, and after taking the name Gangsta D he began writing rhymes. Combining a strong work ethic with aggressive…

    The Murder case of Hae Min Lee is a flawed one, it lacks not only physical evidence, but a good reasoning on why they thought Adnan Syed killed his ex-girlfriend. This case gained only local interest until in 2014 Sarah Koenig who created a podcast called, “Serial” , where she did years of research to try, and find the truth but she came to a lot of dead ends. The information only led to more questions about the case. I believe Adnan Syed is innocent, and there was never a good of enough reason for him to be charged with the murder. I will go over why I stand by his innocence, and the fault in the evidence that was brought up during the trial that led to his ultimate conviction.…

He spent nine months in jail for drug charges, writing and preparing for his time in the lime light.

It is suggested that forgeries can never understand the true meaning or understudying of hip-hop history. They believe the genre is strongly connected to the African-American culture and history and know what it means to be classified as “black” or African American but they don’t understand the struggles and hardship of what it means to be African American.…
