8 Times Rappers Dropped The Mic Of Life

It’s an obvious no-brainer that rappers are known for possessing an incredible lyrical game and ability to rhyme on the spot. Though it seems like the rap world is made up of strictly big booties, gang-banging, cash money and driving expensive Lamborghini vehicles, there’s much more depth within the art of rap than society perceives. Luckily, every now and then, rappers are anointed with a little bit of knowledge, a little real-life advice that they decide to share with us. Chance, Kanye, Nicki…they’ve all done it. Thanks to these rappers, I've become a little wiser and a bit more humble. With that said, here are eight times my favorite rappers dropped the mic of life and spewed a line or two of wisdom. Check it out.

1. Kanye West

Stay hungry, but stay humble. Someone will always be better than you, and someone will always be better than them and so on. Keep your humility, but celebrate your dope-ness.

2. Chance the Rapper


You're your biggest critic, but it's OK to admit you're working on yourself. Allow yourself to be a piece of work in progress.

3. Frank Ocean

If that's not a philosophical thought, then I don't know what is.

4. Childish Gambino (a.k.a. Donald Glover)

"Keeper" means nothing if you choose to let her (or him) go or drive her away. Realize what you have and appreciate it before it's gone.

5. J. Cole

This would make life a lot easier.

6. A$AP Rocky

Practice trust, but don't always trust the devil; wolves in sheep's clothing are present in more places than you think.

7. Frank Ocean (part two)

Also a great contribution to the world of philosophy. I guarantee someone else is thinking this too.

8. The Weeknd

You got to get a grip on yourself before you let someone else in.

These are truly words to live by.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
