What Music Means to Me

Music helps me because I can relate to what some artist went through as a child and it helps me realize that they went through so I can do it too. Some artist even went through worst stuff so it makes me realize like why am i complaining about my problems when someone has had it worst and has made it through that adversity. Music helps to clear my mind as well. Also, sometimes when I sing to a song (usually rap) and it's just showing anger, it helps me relieve some of the stress I have bottled up inside of me. Some of the artist that I listen to are Drake, Kanye West, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, and J. Cole. J. Cole, Eminem, and Kendrick Lamar are more of a story-telling artist. They tell stories of their past and how hard they've had it which is why they are some of my favorites. They also put a lot of emotion into the music when they rap and I can definitely catch those emotions and it helps me really get into the song and relieve stress. Kanye West usually raps about how he knows he's the best and he doesn't really care for what anybody thinks, that he does what he wants. I love that about Kanye because sometime I feel I care too much about other so when I listen to songs like Stronger, it really just helps me get in touch with reality and helps me stop caring for other peoples opinion. Basically, music is like a guide in life for me, it teaches life lessons that I don't think I can learn any other way.
