Death to SoundCloud Rappers

It’s time to take a step back and really ask yourself, “is this crappy stuff that I put on the internet and call music really what the public wants to hear?”

Let me start off by saying that, my former rap friends from Economical Plague (Unonimus and Lotus) are phenomenal rappers. I would also like to give props to all the rappers and producers in Elefant Tusk. I also want to give major props to one of my favorite SoundCloud rappers of all time, Honee Jones. (All their links will be at the end of the article check them out for good music.) These are the only SoundCloud rappers that I can say that I enjoy listening to. As for the rest of you, “artists” it’s time to take a step back and really ask yourself, “is this crappy stuff that I put on the internet and call music really what the public wants to hear?” I will answer on the public’s behalf, no we do not want to hear your music because it sucks. Stop telling me to check out your links and stop acting like you or any other “rappers” are going to “make it big” or “win Grammys,” the reality is you are not, and what you’re doing takes away from the people who actually have a shot at being well-known rappers.

First, every SoundCloud rapper sounds the same. It’s almost as if none of these rappers have their own style. Or maybe these rappers listen to what’s popular and try to recreate that. Or it might be the fact that these rappers simply want to have the label of being a rapper so they just do the bare minimum and hope that they’ll be considered good rappers. Just stop, if you don’t have your own unique style or at least something that’s different then don’t show me your link. With all the amazing music in the world, the last thing I want to listen to is some Lil Blah Blah wannabe.

I’m tired of SoundCloud rappers that take themselves too seriously. Just because you have access to a microphone, doesn’t automatically make you a force to be reckoned with in the rap game. I have a microphone, a midi controller, two pairs of beats, and a record player. That does not mean that if I decide to start rapping (again) that I am this gift that everyone needs playing in their headphones. Get over yourself, if half of these so called “rappers” would take the time to really perfect their skills instead of acting like they already have the skills, they’d probably be better.

Why does everyone want to be a rapper? There is no demand for rappers anymore, there are so many and it’s getting repetitive. I am sick of seeing a SoundCloud link in a bio every time I get on Twitter or Instagram. Go to college, travel the world, get a part time job, do something, anything, but stop trying to be rappers. Because every one of you sucks and I guarantee in 10 years a lot of you will look back and think, “wow I really wasted my time with that endeavor.”

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
