Allow Me To Re-introduce Myself

Welcome back.  I started this blog in January of 2014 as a requirement for a social media class I was taking.  My intent was to continue the blog after the class was completed, but life and laziness made me slack off and the last blog post I had was probably in April or May of 2014.  I've decided to bring it back and I could say it's only because I want to share my thoughts and feelings about hip-hop with the world, but that's not entirely true. Part of my reasons for bringing the blog back are for selfish reasons.  I enjoy hip-hop and I enjoy talking about it.  The blog provides a release for me.  I know that everyone won't agree with me and that's cool.  This blog is just my thoughts and feelings.  If you can relate, that's cool.  If you can't relate, that's cool too.  I welcome any feedback whether positive or negative.  Also, while my focus will be on hip-hop, I have other interests too and I've decided to, incorporate them into this blog.  I have opinions on a bunch of things, so every now and then, my blog may be something that isn't really hip-hop, such as my hatred for Duke University.  I don't plan to stray too far from hip-hop though because that is the basis for this blog.  I also want a light-hearted blog, so I won't really discuss too many serious issues.  While I do have my opinions on serious subjects, social media allows for those subjects to be discussed in depth.  I want to enjoy what I'm doing with this blog and discussing every serious issue that comes up takes away from my enjoyment.  With that said, I hope that my blog will provide some sort of entertainment to you and please feel free to contact me with any comments, criticisms, suggestions, etc.  One last thing, for those that don’t know, the title of the blog was inspired by Common’s song from 1994 titled I Used To Love H.E.R.  With H.E.R. standing for “Hip-hop in its Essence is Real”.  Peep the video.
