They comparing me to Cole, wale, and traits of Kdot/ would I be wrong If I hit them with T.I.?... You feel me? Love the comparing honored to be compared to the top dawgs in the league/ yet I want to be me; real listen to real/ now tell me would listen to me? Got a ton of lyrics stored in me/ write every day of the week/ practicing daily hopefully I can make my mom proud like I won the s.a.t./ medals on my neck/ records getting plaques/ want to be honored for spitting straight facts/ started with spoken word/ The people wanted more/ even when I spit these bars I sound like im in church preaching the real; the stuff that kill/ stub ya toe; type deal/ back of mind I just want to feel/ what it’s like to count up to 100 million/ someone saying you change they life that’s real/ for my people popping pills/ for the pain that only one can feel/ sickle cell is the definition of hell/ pain daily man don’t know how to deal/ hurting every time I put my right foot down/ cause pain from my hip to my kneecap/ pain similar to needles/ sharper than Al Sharpton/ naacp please report in/ there’s been another shooting no it wasn’t a white man need to recognize black on black is important/ we killing our own kind/ that’s what the system wanted/ do they put that CNN? Hell nah/ cause the system tell them it’s all part of the game/ while mothers cry over the remains fathers going insane/ its hard on black males when the system programmed to be trigger happy/ happy hour 24/7 looking for anyone who hairs nappy/ they hate to see us riding in crown vics/ with shoes on they feet add in the candy pain/ it could be a brother inside with a degree not slanging trees/ yet the cop would pull them over and let a white man with a little girl in the trunk roam free/ week later she’ll be found dead in the same car/ license plate and all/ white man gone/ another victim left behind another precious life taken/ so mister officer please stop the discrimination painting red white and blue… colors of our nation/ with more black blood spill and the whites shown creating it/ they comparing me to Cole, wale, and traits of Kdot/ now would I be wrong If I hit them with that T.I.?/

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
