I'm sure you guys have but dont you think its weird when people just expect you to have an opinion that conforms with the norm? I think it was middle school where I was ask who my hero outside of my parents was. Everyone else was giving the typical answers, you can think of names to fit in here, when it was my turn I said JAY-Z. I thought nothing of it cause the guy was my hero, still is, but yet when I said it I got the staredown from my classmates and my teacher just had a look of contempt on her face.
A couple of years ago my parents asked the question in casual conversation, once again I said JAY-Z, and they got pissed. Its crazy how only certain people are allowed to be "heroes". It really isnt supposed to be a knock on any of the other people that have done great things, I just identified with the guy since I was really little and just never stopped listening. I got my first JAY-Z album when I was 7, and the music has just always been there with me, and has a reason. The first time I got cheated on by a girl I might have played song cry 500 times and that was the summer when Dear Summer came out and I might have played that 300 times. When the Big Pimpin video first came out I would flip to MTV Jams on the hour every hour. I could tell dozens of storys of how the guys music impacted my life. But yeah...
Speaking of I really think I'm going to cry when he dies, regardless of how old I am. inb4 I'm soft
Did you cry when Nas dropped Ether? Serious.
