Films of our Fathers.
Father's Day is the day when we honor all the paternal figures in our lives. With Father's Day having just passed I thought it would be a good idea for all the movie buffs out there to write this article looking back at several great films that show why fatherhood is worth while and should always be appreciated. The love of a father and lessons of fatherhood can be expressed in a number of ways and those ways can be expressed through tones of laughter, persistence and dedication, so without further a do, lets take a look at a few films that exemplify these qualities the best.

People Who Inspired Me To Be A Writer: Tupac Shakur (rapper/actor).
The core of what makes entertainment so enjoyable is all rooted in how it makes us feel. The way everything we see and hear impacts our emotions determines how respond to the artist making the form of entertainment of which we enjoy. When it comes to Hip Hop music, no rapper ever captured the essence of emotion the way that Tupac Shakur did and this is why he is not only one of my top biggest influences as a Hip Hop artist, but also why he is one of my biggest influences as a writer.

People Who Inspired Me To Be A Writer: Ice Cube (rapper/filmmaker)
As a writer I draw inspiration from almost every avenue of art and life. My biggest influences for writing mainly come from film, literature, and music. When it comes to music I'm a nerd so I can pretty much enjoy almost anything and I'm respectful of every form of music that exist. The genre of Hip Hop is one of my favorite forms of music and when it comes to rappers, my top favorite rapper of all time is west coast Hip Hop pioneer, Oshea "Ice Cube" Jackson. Ice Cube as he is known to most is not just my biggest influence in Hip Hop, but also one of my biggest influences as a writer and storyteller.

Runaway
As fireworks begin to light up the dark Mississippi sky with cheers coming from beneath them, a young Black slave named Runaway sprints from the field of the plantation he is on into the darkness of the woods behind the field. After nearly 30 minutes of running the young man stops to lean up against a tree while he breathes heavy as his legs ache. As his heavy breathing gradually settles he begins to reflect on his life as a slave and starts to talk to himself as he continues his expedition in a slight jog.
