The spring time

I ejoy the spring. Its kind of a love/hate relationship because the winter is where i get to snowboard non stop and hang out majority with my snowboard buddies which is a nice change from edina. I think that the snowboard crowd is more of lovers than haters. I usually tend to see people hating more than less at Edina on other people and gossiping which is something i really could care less for. My snowboard buddies are the ones who see it the same wasy i do and you just talk about funny stuff and the conversations are just more exciting and i like to hang out with these kids more. This is why i dont like the spring to begin, the hate part. But then the love part comes in when the weather is nice, the sun is shining and warming, you can go swimming with your buddies. The best part is that i get to put my rims on my car which have havent see day for the winter. I like riding around with the windows down, the AC on, and just cruising with friends. You can go to the beach and be outside with your buddies, even though im usually outside all year long because of snowboarding. I really enjoy frisbee golf and is something i do a ton. Its going to be nice when you can walk around and enjoy the weather. I really enjoy that you can be outside in shorts and walk place to place. I dont mind walking from place to place when its nice out especially because you can save some money on gas. Its also a sign that the school year is coming to an end, and that this spring, highschool is coming to an end in a short few months. Im really looking forward to it and dont mind that the winter is over. I can snowboard in the summer at Mt.hood if i want to, is a mountain in oregon that has snow year round which i usually go to. They have camps up there and its usually just a super fun time to be with friends and enjoy yourself while snowboarding. I believe spring is one of the best seasons of the year because you have so much to look forward too.

2. I chose this song by andre nickatina, the jungle, because he can rap like theres no tomorrow. He seems to make anything rhyme somehow whether its the most complicated word, but he still can somehow pull it off by rhyming it with another. His flow is just smooth and the rhymes make the song just go clean and smooth.



3). The jungle works very well for this song because hes talking about how his life is in the fastlane and pretty hectic, sort of like a jungle. Anything can happen in a jungle and he raps completely free when hes talking about his life and how so much stuff happens to him. Its all very unexpected, which is similiar to his rap because he raps about a lot of unrelated topics but makes it sound smooth to the ear.

4). He uses the metaphor, Im like a harley davidson which is used towards the start of the rap. It kind of just lets you know how his life goes down and how its very fast paced and that hes ready for anything. hes used to riding life in the fastlane like a harlye, which is fat and dangerous which works swell with the title, the jungle. Anything can happen. Another is very similiar, "im in the fast lane, the cash lane, some think its a bad thing." It relates to the other line i used and how the harley davidson represents that hes kind of out of control and a free spirit riding in the fast lane. hes very into money which is evident by saying hes in the "cash lane" which some see that can lead you to wrong things. But andre isnt afraid it seems and is ready for these things to happen or not. These lines make you think that nickatina is a man who doesnt stop for no one and is ready for anything at any given time. Hes a free spirit and ready to back himself up through fast and creative rhymes.

5).The tone of the song is very fast paced representing his life by the fast lane. He seems to endow a life that many cant keep up based upon the lyrics. I cant decipher many of the lyrics because he seems to rhyme any word with any word that works with the others. His tone is very fast paced and makes you think of a jungle because things are cluttered and unexpected in a jungle. Its kind of a survival of the fittest situation because the more your on your toes, the less likely youll be taken down by a bigger force. He raps very fast and can can rhyme mulitple times in one line which is showing the intensity of this song and that hes pretty serious about his life and the morals he lives by, which seem to be few.
