X Is Known

Well my name is Xavier and everyone calls me X. So I figures that I would make this blog about me. I would like to believe I am known by a lot of people. I have a lot of friends and family, so I think am known. However if you do not know me I am 18 years old. I was born and raised on the south side of Chicago and I feel like it is the best city in the world. I have three sisters, no brothers and I live with my mom and dog. I like to play sports like basketball, listen to and play music in my spare time. I like to think that I am a good student and I am going to Howard University next year. I think I said enough, so I now anybody reading this should know a lot more about me. So now X is definitely known.

X Marks the Spot

I like the statement X Marks the Spot. I agree with it all the way. If you put a X over anything, you know that you are supposed to go or look in that spot. The example everyone knows is pirates looking for treasures and they find it with the X. This can also be used as a comparison to life. If you are looking for the right direction in your life and need to find the way just look for something marked with a X. If you find that X then you will be able to accomplish what you want so it is very important. So that is why I love the statement X marks the spot and remember just look for the X.

Words I Never Said

One of my favorite artists is Lupe Fiasco and that is why I chose this song. It is his newest song and his second single on his next album Lasers. The first time I heard this song it instantly became of of my favorite Lupe songs. The lyrics are somewhat controversial, but powerful at the same time. For example he says:

I really think the war on terror is a bunch of bulls**t
Just a poor excuse for you to use up all your bullets
How much money does it take to really make a full clip
9/11 building 7 did they really pull it
Uhh, And a bunch of cover ups
Your child's future was the first to go with budget cuts
If you think that hurts then, wait here comes the uppercut
The school was garbage in the first place, thats on the up and up

Even though I may not agree with everything that Lupe said I still respect the fact the he wasn't afraid to say what he felt. That is the thing I love about music, that you can express how you feel. You can just hear his passion in this song and that is also refreshing. Most music that we hear nowadays like on the radio lacks that passion and I feel like people just do it for money instead of art. I will definitely go buy his album because if all of his songs are on the level of this one then it will be one of his best. In my opinion he is one of the few artists keeping hip-hop or music in general alive.
