“You can hate a man for many reasons, Colour is not one of them.” These were famous words said by a close teammate and friend of Jackie Robinson to a crowd of discriminating bystanders at a Dodgers Baseball match.

Drake's new album called “Views” extremely caught my attention. This album had numerous exceptional songs that I could easily relate to. I connected to this album better than some of his other albums that were produced such as “So Far Gone” and “Room For Improvement” because this album had more diversity. For instance, in this album, he put a lot of his thoughts into it but he also put logic. “Views” was the fourth studio album by Drake and was also supported by five billboard singles: "Hotline Bling", "One Dance", "Pop Style", "Controlla" and "Too Good", which are some of my favorite tracks from this album. I absolutely love this album because it shows the struggles that Drake has faced emotionally and it gives us the ability to connect to

As a child, Prince was often bullied in school and became a recluse.

In my opinion, Kendrick Lamar, an award-winning rapper and songwriter, has one of the best abilities to describe his distressed and abused lifestyle in Compton, California. He is not your original cliché artist who does not speak about anything meaningful. Kendrick, also known as K. Dot, is one of the most well known and most respected rappers in this era. Not only does he speak about his gloomy past, but he also speaks about his fortunate future. His ability to give detailed representations of his struggles and his story telling allows me to, metaphorically, enter the mind of Kendrick Lamar.

At age 12 his cousin introduced him to freestyling and he followed that inspiration and became one of the best hip hop rappers of this generation. At his young age he fell in love with storytelling rappers such as Nas, Eminem, and Canibus. By the age of 17 he would post his raps online
