I don't know what got me hooked on to rap music, but since I was young I've been a huge fan of the genre. Especially since moving from Virginia to Turkey, I've really felt all alone when it comes to sharing my love of the genre.
When I think harder, I see my love of rap most probably coming from the NBA. The first video games I played were NBA Live games and the soundtracks of each game were mainly rap music. In addition, I spent most of my nights watching the beloved Fresh Prince and singing the theme song. Back then, though, I was not that deep into rap music as I am today. I only knew a couple of major names, but now I'm beginning to learn more and more about this intricate style of poetry. I'd rather call it poetry because when a rap song is truly amazing (Such as Kendrick Lamar's songs), they become a work of poetry.
I believe that I am equipped enough to start a blog about my favorite genre and will focus on all aspects of rap and I will hopefully post a few of my own poems that I struggle to write. Enjoy!
