King James

In the NBA, Lebron James has become a dominant force and seems to be a man amongst boys. I have alwasy looked up to Lebron, not only as a player , but also as a person. During my basketball days when I was a nationally ranked player, I met Lebron on numerous occasions. He was always a pleseant person to talk with. I have been watching Lebron since his high school days at St.Vincent St. Marys. I always admired his game which often spoke for itself, but the thing I loved most was his dedication to the game of basketball and how hard he has worked over the years to get where he is now as he still continues to push through adversity, Lebron has always stayed humble, through his downs when he left his hoemtown to play for Miami in which he won to championships, and his ups as he returned home to leave his legacy and bring fortune and happiness back to his hometown. With Lebron being such a big name, he is often criticized whether good or bad and he never lets it get to him. Lebron once said " people can say what they want because at the end of the day they have to go home too their jobs and I continue to play the game I love so they can say whatever they want." That quote shows Lebron being a man of HIGH character and that is what i admire about Lebron.
Today im going to talk about Hip-Hop spaces. With me being from New Yorrk, hip-hop has always been a part of my life . As I got onlder I had the ability of going to the studio and watching the process of music being created in which I sometimes participated myself. When I found out that one of my teammates made music within the comfort of his own home, I wanted to watch him. I plan on going to his house and collaborate with him on some ideas of a song that we could do together, find a beat, write lyrics and spend time creating the song. The entruinging part of music making is the process and the end result because in the end everything has to blend together or else it will not sound right. When it comes to making what is to be considered good music, it takes time.Many artist are in the studio anywhere from 4 hours to a full 24 hours depending on how serious the music or or the time constraint that they have to fit. The studio for me is a place that allows me to relax and let my creative juices flow, but mainly it gives me a feelign of accomplishment. While I do not do music as a full time hobby or job, when i happen to do it, it becomes and peaceful time within my own sanctum.

Evaluative Essay

 An evaluative essay is the evaluation of a precise topic in which you talk about all categories such as if you were talking about play station vs. xbox  and evaluating which was better. In the essay the body of the essay is the most important, in the body you use the information to determine which would be better or why on thing is better then others. In the case of the play station vs the xbox, play station gets free internet but xbox has games only made for that system. IN the body paragraph, you will evaluate precise aspects of your topic and determine why on has the edge on the other.

Music is an outlet due to the fact it allows artist do express themselves through the lyrics and beats of a song. The music that artist put could be music that someone else can relate to. The music also allows people to talk about topics that can't be talked about on a everyday basis so artist can speak freely about the topic that people want to talk about but cannot and it appeals to the emotions of the people.
