SIR reminds me of Raphael Saadiq completely by the tone. I love the expression of his vocal range and musical influences. The album crosses over to Hip-Hop & R&B.

The album cover makes him mysterious and it makes you focus on his songs solely.
Some of the instrumentals remind me of Ice Cube Good Day. Very smooth, relaxing and nostalgic.
His beats even leave you with this eerie feel but it makes you curious about what's next. Even a Pharcyde, Fish in the sea feeling.

Top track is Tricky. Tricky has some blues riffs in there which brings you back to the heart of R&B. With the blues in mind it's focused a great amount on the guitar and then everything else but it blends nicely. I love the ending of it because he pulls trumpets together like a jazzy feel like the bands performing and it's the end and they just go all out. Amazing.

All in my head reminds me of Nate Dogg and Ice Cube Good day this song again proved the importance of guitar on this album. The beginning of the song he layers it so every instrument isn't thrown at you. First the guitar then a sprinkle of piano then hrs you with the percussion. And sometimes when you collide hip-hop & R&b we overwhelm the beat with percussion but this song made sure to have it subtle and not the main attraction. He doesn't particularly show range with this one but he shows passion. Cute love song but take away the cute and put sexy.

Cadillac dreams gave me a laid back Snoop dog & Dr.Dre feel. Imagine if Gin & Juice was a lot smoother. The feature kept us attentive. It's smooth laid back and one of those songs you pop in the car when you're with your significant car at night with the lights bright in the city and the song just comes on. It's about having that person near your side as you're driving basically. Or you can even interpret it as the Cadillac dreams as in y'all just rolling with whatever comes but in style. He's relating it to his relationship with the girl whether they're official or just kicking it. Like the music videos but in real life.

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.

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.
