“Did you not understand what I said? I said I hate you!” but that’s not what I wanted to say. I wanted to tell him I loved him but we all know when you tell someone you love them they never feel the same back. After saying that, guess what happened. Yup he blocked me on Facebook, and then never spoke to me again. Let me tell you what happened from the beginning, before freshman year started. It was August 23, 2011; I was on Facebook because I couldn’t go to sleep. Everyone I normally talk to was already asleep, because it was almost 11pm. David and I were the only ones on so
I said “Hey can’t go to sleep either?”
“No, haven’t talked to you since July. What school are you going to for high school?” David wrote. I haven’t told anyone but I’ve had a crush on him in fifth grade, I haven’t seen him since sixth grade. I guess I never got over him because when he wrote back I had this weird sensation in my stomach. I wrote back,
“Rhodes. And you?”
“Uhhhh, Rhodes.”
“What’s so bad about me going to school with you?”
“Nothing! It’s just everyone we know from Bryant is going. Ever since I’ve been rapping, everyone has been harassing me.”
“Oh well that shows how much you know me.”
“What’s that suppose to mean?”
“It means that I wouldn’t bother you just because you rap. And it wouldn’t matter because I have all tenth grade classes.”
“Yes!”
“Hey that’s not nice Lol.”
“No not like that. I mean yes by not every one will have classes with me.”
We stayed up all night until his girlfriend said “get off” around 4am. The next day at school I seen him in the hall, every were I go I see him, except at lunch because we have different lunch periods. Now back to the present. A few weeks ago I yelled at him on Facebook so he blocked me. All he does is stares at me with those eyes filled with sorrow. So I try to go the opposite way he’s going. I don’t want to see that in his eyes. We don’t ever talk

    I walk into the dull atmosphere classroom, pictures of present and past high school baseball players stare back at me. The marker board covered in scribbles of math and assignments that will soon be issued to us by the teacher. One look at the teacher and you can tell he wasn’t in the best of health. Starting with his overweight physic to his white, pasty skin, almost a bit discolored in some areas. It was soon discovered early in the year that he suffered from a heart deficiency. Yet, having constant road blocks enter his path, he continues to teach and peruse his passion. I rather much enjoyed that class, and there was one month left till until school was out. Students start to file into class; among them is a familiar but unacquainted face, Dan. Dan and I knew each other but neither of us had taken the time to traditionally acquaint ourselves and really talk. Dan had short golden blonde hair, pale white skin, which was making his acne more visible. He was tall and lanky with a friendly smile and attitude. That day he finally introduces himself and we begin to talk. My first impressions were that he was sweet yet a bit odd, referring to many people and myself as ‘love’. As well came off as ambitious and carefree, after having snuck out of class multiple times and just leaving for the day. As summer dawned closer and sophomore year was coming to an end, me and Dans friendship grew and we exchanged numbers. Summer began, weeks pass and we talk from time to time. Till one day while texting I ask if he had any big plans for the rest of summer. The reply I got was not what I expected. He told me that he was due to have brain surgery in a month or so. And as well, that that wasn’t the worst part, not only is his condition fatal if he doesn’t receive proper treatment, but that if the operation is successful that a side effect is that he will lose all memory of the last 4years of his life. At this point in the conversation my mind was racing trying…

    After a good while, I hear one of his friends say “your turn, Biggie,” he shoves me forward as they await me to begin freestyling. I have a bunch of raps in my head, ready to spit as I open my mouth, nothing coming out. I choke, stepping back as they all break into laughter. “That’s what I thought!” The main one says. I soon realize who he was. I had him in Algebra last year, his name was John. he shoves me back, walking away as his friends follow. During lunch, I sat alone in the back, writing rhythms and poetry in my journal. I hear people laugh as I look up, noticing John and his posse pick out different people to diss on. He glances at me as I quickly pretend to right in my journal, hoping he didn’t start to pick on me. He chuckles as his friends watch him, standing on a table as he points at me. He begins to start taking shots at me as his friends do the same. I wanted them to stop, trying to get my head straight on focus on my journal, yet the constant sounds of their laughter distracted me. I open my mouth, wanting to shoot back with rhythms already playing in my head. I held back, not wanting to start a…

    Elements Of Country Music

    Often in rap music the artist is describing points of their life or childhood that were notable to them. One prominent rap song “Juicy”, by Notorious B.I.G. is “Biggie’s ode to growing up in the ghetto. Alternating between his impoverished childhood and life at the top of the charts, Big creates a rags-to-riches narrative exemplifying the American Dream lived through Hip Hop.” Another example is Tinie Tempah’s “Written in the stars”, which also references his life as an impoverished young boy living in the ghetto. The is is evident in lines such as “Look I'm just a writer from the ghetto like Malory Blackman. Where the hells all the sanity at, damn I used to be the kid that no one cared about. That's why you have to keep screaming 'til they hear you out”. There are an abundance of rap songs that delve deep into the origins of the writer, often of the hardships they faced due to poverty and bad influence in their youth. These include being exposed to gangs, and gang related violence as well as drugs and alcohol at a young age. These very real references to their youth are central illustrations of how music mirrors…

    We finally moved to North Carolina and I was devastated. I felt like I had to leave behind all of the friends I had just started formulating deeper bonds with. I felt like I had to start over from scratch with making friends and I missed Khalif; and finding out that he contacted me the night before we moved and I missed his call, didn't make things any easier. I never told him I was moving when I found out. I figured since we wasn’t together anymore, why bother. He found out my last day of school because my best friend and I were crying, and another student went back and told him. He approached me before the day was over, and wanted to know why I didn’t tell him I was moving. After we talked, he gave me a hug. I didn’t expect him to try to contact me that night. I didn’t find out he had called until my family and I were well in NC and I checked the caller ID box.…
