Favorite Songs

I am a huge music lover and you can usually find me with headphones on or with music blasting out my car. To pick only 2 songs as my "favorite" is like picking your favorite child. But if I had to chose my favorite song from 2013-2014 I'd choose "Rap God" by Eminem. The amazing speed at which he raps is truly brilliant. He goes completely off on such an unique beat. In 6 minutes, he demonstrates that he can still embarrass any other rapper. Along with that, I've taken it as a challenge to try to memorize every lyric and try to rap it along. I remember that I first heard that the track had been dropped on Twitter and the link provided took me to YouTube.

                                                         






When it comes to "oldies", my choice is "Hey Jude" by The Beatles. I love how it can be such a relaxing and somehow kind of sad song and towards the end, thanks to Paul McCartney's screams and the chorus singing in the back, turns into such a happy song. Truly beautiful song that you can listen to whenever you're feeling a bit sad. The first time I heard that song was off my mom's Beatles "1" CD when I was just 9 years old. And ever since then, I've fallen in love with all of The Beatles songs

    I like your song choices. Although i don't listen to Eminem anymore I do ALWAYS try to rap along with his songs when I hear them. I also love love The Beatles. I actually own the record with Hey Jude and its in great condition.

  2. I agree Eminem is very clever. I love the movie "Eight Mile." "Hey Jude" is such a classic.

  3. Dude, Rap God is such a sick song and I have a lot of respect for Eminem as well.
    I grew up listening to The Beatles because that's all my parents ever played. You chose two completely different songs, yet I understand and completely get it.
