the future of rap
some people believe that the future of rap and hip hop is doomed. some people think that its moving in a great direction, and others are torn between the two. today's rappers are not as lyrical as some of the classic or old school rappers. i feel that rap changes over time and that its changes for better and worse. none of the lyrics make since now-a-days, but they are getting their message across and making people get up and dance. i believe that that is the objective of music dont you.

the future of graphic design
the future is something thats always on peoples mind. for graphic designers we are always obsessed with the next biggest thing that has to do with art. Well the future of graphic design is heavy influenced by technology. even now we have wireless tablets that allow use to draw on our tablets with our fingers and it goes straight to the computer. Some people believe that in the near future we won't need the tablet and we will be able to create art with are mind and nothing else. just stepping into a room and being able to create an amazing 3D artwork sounds well amazing. I know that i am definitely excited for the future.

artists and social media
Using social media is a great way for an artist to get their name out there. The main social media sites are Instagram, twitter, and pintrest. according to vogue magazine an instagram artist named Marc Quinn just put up a piece of her art work one day and a few days later she sold the exact same artwork for 3.52 million dollars. Thats incredible that someone thats just makeing art for fun can just out of know where become a millionaire. I encourage all artist to use social media as an outlet. you never know who will find your artwork.

J Cole
I believe that J Cole is another icon in the rap/ hip hop industry. when J Cole first started out he wanted to be like the rappers he grew up listening to, but then he figured out the industry isn't what he thought it was. today J Cole does his best to get stories about him, police brutality, and black lives matter. I like rappers like J Cole because he doesn"t like to hide the truth. he brings serious situations to the light through his raps and we need more leaders like him.

Chance The Rapper
Chance has to be the most accomplished and the most influential rapper of my generation. Most of Chance's music is free. his last mixtape "Coloring Book" earned the number 8 spot on the billboard chart with no record label managing him. On his birthday he raised 100,000 dollars for charity, and recently chance donated 1 million dollars to Chicago public schools. he also met with Barack Obama, and now he is getting support to become the knew mayor of Chicago. He could be the next step to becoming a positive role model in today's very "unique" world.

Destiny 2
I'm going to be honest I'm not excited about this game and my friends won't stop talking about me not liking it, so I'll talk about it here.  Destiny is a game created by bungie the same game studio that help create halo. Destiny is about survival or something of that nature. your basically protecting your people from an alien threat that destroys planets. To most people they will probably say the game was good but with me I'll tell you the game was dookie berries. the game is just rinse and repeat protect a little navigation buddy while he extracts information, and when the mission is over you get random loot which in my words is "meh". I really feel that destiny 2 is just going to be the same game, and more people will be disappointed.

Greatest hip-hop/rap album of 2017
Lets get straight to the point Kendrick Lamar's new album is fantastic. Its best next to good kid mad city. It has everything i'm looking for in a rap album and more. Kendrick tell his story in a different way that makes listeners get up and dance, but still makes them stop and listen. I think if you choose to listen to one Kendrick Lamar album you should listen to damn. He talks about love, violents, partying, the rap game, and more. he even makes references to other Mcs and the movie rush hour. I recommend the album to everyone.

Now in 2017 cash returns with his 3 original games remastered by today's technology. this remastered made fans of the character, video game, and PlayStation fans all over praise the bandicoot once again. i know i cant speak for everyone but this is one of the most anticipated video games for me in 2017.

Injustice 2

I believe that Injustice 2 fighting game of the year. its the biggest fighting game that will come out in 2017 and is one of the most anticipated games of 2017 by far. it is filled with fan favorite dc characters such as superman, batman, and wonder woman. it also has brand new characters such as robin, scarecrow and Brainiac that bring a new experience to the game, and also so awesome dlc characters as well. I am confident in saying that injustice 2 is fighting game of the year and also is a contender for game of the year as of right now.
