Cardi B Returns to Middle School with a Bag, but How Much is Enough?. Top Story - September 2022.
While it is beautiful for an artist like Cardi B to go back to her middle school with $100,000 in tow, what is the limit?

Remembrance for PnB Rock
When will East Coast rappers, especially from New York City, and Philly know that the streets have no love, streets gotta eat, and that things are not sweet out in those LA streets? PnB Rock has been laid down after being robbed and shot to death. Did he literally show his plate to a brute who was hungry? It is a shame that these young warriors on the microphone don’t realize that to keep themselves alive another day requires environmental awareness.

It's still falling down...
Thank you for the track All Falls Down. A long time ago, when life was simpler, this was simply a song with a funky beat and great lyrics that had a great vibe to it. Those were my adolescent days with my juvenile problems that felt like true cataclysmic catastrophes. Those would pale in comparison to the things that stress me today. This song speaks volumes about the trials and tribulations one will encounter on the road to glory. I’m sure we all know how the song goes, but take into consideration the separate phases the song goes through in just a matter of minutes. Now I’m writing solely based on my own experiences and interpretations of the song. I’ve second-guessed both of my degrees from the moment I got them because it’s so hard to find passion in a field with little to no grey area. “That major that she majored in don’t make no money.” Story of my life. Because the money to be made entails becoming a person I’m not equipped to be. Selling yourself for a dollar is the theme. I thought I could find security in a field that wouldn’t deviate so far from the rules and that hasn’t been the case. The song itself reminds me that things will continue to go wrong as long as you keep focusing on all the wrongs around you. It takes a strong mind to be able to see the positives around you whenever everything seems darkest. The song will transcend time and generations because the problems depicted in the song have continued to plague our society. Many will criticize a person that decides to overlook their shortcomings for the pursuit of happiness. But those same people will also advise you to do what makes you happy. The contradiction lies in the fact that advice can only seem sound when that person is happy with their situation. The struggles we encounter will always be in abundance. It helps define us because the person that rises from being knocked down is never the same person that went down. You rise a little tougher, a little wiser, a lot more determined.

We Think We Alone-Deem Spencer Album Review pt.1 of 2
*Curse words and mention of losing a loved one* I've listened to this album sooo many times. I got into Deem Spencer's work when I saw the video and heard the song "Today, We Sat." I don't recall hearing anything before that song, so I believe I was just browsing through suggestions on Youtube and found that video, then went to his instagram...or I saw his Instagram page on the day he was talking about the video and checked it out. Regardless, it was the day it was released and I've been listening to his songs (and making vids about them) ever since. Here's me talking about the songs in order on the playlist and then giving them a 1-10 (10 being 'amazing') and where they fall for me (the best song, worse song etc.)
