Yeah, me too! You want to give more of you, show more of yourself, and open up a little more. But, you're afraid! You're afraid that something so sweet could become so bitter. So you caution yourself... See, the beauty in Robot Love is it doesn't have to end! So, take your time and be mindful of your emotions. But, keep in mind that, it's OK for one Robot to love, and miss another. Have you ever received a call from someone and felt the need to go into IMMEDIATE Prayer? You think, "Lord, should I answer this call?" Sometimes, you have to push the call-end button. Quite frankly, I find myself doing it more often. It's not because I don't want to be of service, but it's hard to help someone who becomes rebellious against assistance. So, help if you can. But, know that it's OK to let him/her go so you can grow. Remember when you were a kid and had imaginary talks with yourself about growing up? Yeah me too! I can still hear my mother saying, "You better stay a child as long as you can." Momma told me there would be days when I wish I were still a kid. And you know what? "She ain't ever lied!" Despite my age, I still need her help. I never anticipated facing so many challenges as an adult. From me to you...Just be careful with what you wish. The Love Below is an empowering, self-help guide for overcoming life-changing situations. This book will also provide practical tools to help reflect on the past by offering essential steps to move toward a healthy future.

Download or read book Chronicling Stankonia written by Regina Bradley and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2021-01-29 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This vibrant book pulses with the beats of a new American South, probing the ways music, literature, and film have remixed southern identities for a post–civil rights generation. For scholar and critic Regina N. Bradley, Outkast's work is the touchstone, a blend of funk, gospel, and hip-hop developed in conjunction with the work of other culture creators—including T.I., Kiese Laymon, and Jesmyn Ward. This work, Bradley argues, helps define new cultural possibilities for black southerners who came of age in the 1980s and 1990s and have used hip-hop culture to buffer themselves from the historical narratives and expectations of the civil rights era. Andre 3000, Big Boi, and a wider community of creators emerge as founding theoreticians of the hip-hop South, framing a larger question of how the region fits into not only hip-hop culture but also contemporary American society as a whole. Chronicling Stankonia reflects the ways that culture, race, and southernness intersect in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Although part of southern hip-hop culture remains attached to the past, Bradley demonstrates how younger southerners use the music to embrace the possibility of multiple Souths, multiple narratives, and multiple points of entry to contemporary southern black identity.

Download or read book Third Coast written by Roni Sarig and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2007-05 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La 4e de couverture indique : "Typically, more than half the top rap songs in the country are the work of Southern artists. In a world still stuck in the East/West coast paradigm of the '90s, the simple fact is that Southern hip-hop has dominated the genre - and defined the culture - for years. Roni Sarig explains how and why." "From the crime-ridden wards of New Orleans to the upscale suburbs of Atlanta, from the secluded outpost of Virginia Beach to the international hub of Miami - plus all the small Southern towns in between - Third Coast chronicles the artists, labels, and communities that rewrote the script on how hip-hop could sound, signify, and get sold."
Download or read book Dirty South written by Ben Westhoff and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2011-05-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rap music from New York and Los Angeles once ruled the charts, but nowadays the southern sound thoroughly dominates the radio, Billboard, and MTV. Coastal artists like Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, and Ice-T call southern rap &“garbage,&” but they're probably just jealous, as artists like Lil Wayne and T.I. still move millions of copies, and OutKast has the bestselling rap album of all time. In Dirty South, author Ben Westhoff investigates the southern rap phenomenon, watching rappers &“make it rain&” in a Houston strip club and partying with the 2 Live Crew's Luke Campbell. Westhoff visits the gritty neighborhoods where T.I. and Lil Wayne grew up, kicks it with Big Boi in Atlanta, and speaks with artists like DJ Smurf and Ms. Peachez, dance-craze originators accused of setting back the black race fifty years. Acting both as investigative journalist and irreverent critic, Westhoff probes the celebrated-but-dark history of Houston label Rap-A-Lot Records, details the lethal rivalry between Atlanta MCs Gucci Mane and Young Jeezy, and gets venerable rapper Scarface to open up about his time in a mental institution. Dirty South features exclusive interviews with the genre's most colorful players. Westhoff has written a journalistic tour de force, the definitive account of the most vital musical culture of our time.

Book excerpt: Many times in my adult life, I have had what I would call an "awake out-of-body experience." During these times, I was peeking in at my life in a dream state; thinking this cannot be my life. I found myself asking the questions of what happened to the child who outsmarted the world and what happened to the teen who had all the answers and confidence to boot, and the young adult who never settled for can't. Well, somewhere along the way, the only thing left of who I was once was, were just shreds of an almost non-existent life. Now, don't get me wrong, there were some good times along the way, but it certainly was not always smooth sailing. But what came later in life was no comparison to the early years. Not that long ago, my life was filled with disappointment, brokenness, worry, anxiety, and fear. I survived breakups and breakdowns, sadness and pain, grief and loss beyond description, all of which led to a one-way ticket to Depression Central. Getting off the road to depression was very difficult for me, but there is no job too hard for God. If you can relate to the paralyzing despair that I went through, then please know that I fellowship with you and understand the grip depression and anxiety can have on your life. However, I want you to know that your destination does not have to be a one-way ticket to the land of despair, instead, your journey can bring you to a place of joy and peace if you simply trust and believe in God.

Download or read book Quicklet on The Best Outkast Songs Lyrics and Analysis written by Kareem Ruth and published by Hyperink Inc. This book was released on 2012-07-26 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As of early 2012, the OutKast duo has sold over 26 million records domestically, has been awarded 6 Grammy awards, and are regarded as one of the best rap groups of all time, and certainly one of the most important. Their initial single, “Player’s Ball”, brought a southern, soulful swing to the world of hip-hop. The unique sound and style fused the lyricism of progressive underground hip-hop with an organic production style that was very different from the more polished, sample-based sound from the northeastern corridor of the United States. Outkast’s sound resonated with the countless music fans outside of the New York metropolitan area, and was integral to the development of the sound of southern hip-hop. The popularity of Outkast’s music was critical in showing the commercial viability of “non-traditional” hip-hop, and ultimately led to the opening of the genre to a wider sonic and thematic palette.
