Looking at Gatsby from another side: The George Wilson story.

"Beat me, Beat me!" she continued to cry out. "Throw me down and beat me you little coward!" She waled and flopped her hands in a flashy attitude as she walked out, and before I could do anything--everything, was done.
A blur, a flash, within the speed of light, a sudden moment changed my whole life. One car,one driver, one accelerator, one brake... one brake, that wasn't used.

As the frenetic crowd drew toward my garage in a somewhat state of disarray, I began to get worried, and mad, and sad, so many mixed emotions. I hadn't even noticed my self pacing and swinging my hands, and sweating, and worrying, is the room spinning? Oh my  god I just can't stand by myself. Then suddenly i felt a tight grip around my arms and a figure screaming at me, some jibber jabber, nothing important I'm guessing. Then I lost myself, and suddenly came to the realization of what was happening. Tom was shaking me "Listen! I just got here a minute ago from New York. I was bringing you the coupe we've been talking about. That yellow car i was driving this afternoon wasn't mine do you hear? I haven't seen it all afternoon."

Thee American Dream.

     Well I guess you can say the American dream is the pursuit of happiness, and living well-off/comfortably. So I decided to do some research on "The American Dream". I thought that I would find some crap about "having money, and being rich, and blah blah blah, owning a corvette..." but instead I found this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPWH5TlbloU&lc=dfxWTkOlqnmczWE__npRF34Ls6jQWCyA-ANzbD_oAKk&context=C39a5287ADOEgsToPDskKA6_hG8Nxy6Tae0N00w78r. A short animated film about "The American Dream" and exactly WHY we can't have the American dream. It explains what's preventing "The American Dream", the crooked banks. See, it explains how these crooked banks will loan money, something called "debt loans". They'll loan it to people who don't really need it and the more that they loan, the more debt is put on the individual, so that the banks can make money. Then goes on to tell that the Feds, give these banks the money to loan, by simply printing more (which is unconstitutional). Even though it is a "Federal reserve" it's not owned by the government, but instead it's a private business, owned by private investors. The treasury is supposed to print the money, but the Fed prints the money, then loan it to the government, while charging them interest, which is paid for with the TAXES that WE pay.
     Well I don't wanna give up the whole video, go check it out, also famous recording artist Lupe Fiasco made a song "Words I've never said" saying something similar to this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22l1sf5JZD0&ob=av2e
   

Music review: Kiid Will

     Kiid Will, is an up and coming artist, a Chicago teen (one of my childhood friends) who has just put out a Mixtape a week or 2 ago. The Mixtape's name is all or nothing and is pretty decent for a young artist's first Mixtape. It features tracks like Mac Miller's party on 5th ave, and also Lupe Fiasco's I gotcha. It is well put together and he remixes mostly the old hip-hop type beats. His flow is definitely deserving a listen and his lyrics are smooooth. He doesn't react to the world, but he tells a story, of a Chicago teen, trying to make it in the industry.
    Even though he hasn't made it or gotten any recognition, he has so much charisma. His videos, for example, he has a "Let's sit back and chilllllll" swagger in him.

The track list goes:
1. Procession(Intro)
2. Party on 5th Ave.
3. CM Freeverse
4.Nobody Stoppin' me
5. All Day Long
6. Takeover
7. All or Nothing
8. The Chill- PHRESHKIDS
9. Move on
10. Microphone Diaries
11. Truth Is
12. Dedication To God

The Mixtape is downloadable from http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/kiid_will-all-or-nothing-mixtape.40667.html
