My journey through Chicago means a lot to me. I decided to go to a local rap expo for fun and it turned into a life changing experience. When I went there all these people were looking at me really funny because they thought I wasn't good or something (stereotyping). But when I opened my mouth and the guy said give me your best sixteen, so I did . Once I got finish rapping everyone in the music store was like damn where you from . I laughed but it made my day. I gave it my all and I did my best.
The reason I'm writing about this is because rap is my love. Anything that has to do with rap I'm with it. I just thought is was funny because in class we were just talking about all the different styles and then I go and meet so many rappers with so many different styles even if they were not good I respect what they stand for. Chicago is a hard place to get known so being in this expo in Hyde Park has made me think about where I could be next year with my career. I received a chance to meet local artist some good and some bad but the idea of me seeing all different types of styles helps me seal my own style off and know that I'm different. This expo is major for artists on the come up like me even though a lot of people may hate and a lot may show love its my dream so I'm going to live it and not do it half ass neither. Honestly if I wasn't forced to go tour Chicago I would have never known about this expo so I'm thanking Amanda for forcing me to get out and search and tour the city .
Being from Chicago I thought I knew everything but once this came along I was like I don't know what to write about so I went on a last minute search and found something that's pretty interesting not only to me but to people who loves music.
This expo helps get your confidence up. Even if you mess up you could tell the crowd isn't feeling you but they wont boo or anything but when you good they let you know you are good. Like I said in my last paper I have a split personality so went I hit the stage I went into a whole different person and killed the stage . I damn near didn't want to get off I was having so much fun doing what I love. I'm encouraging all the people who are lyrically stable rather its writing poems ,rapping .singing or a comedian go to open mics and see what the people feel if they don't feel you fix the problem so they can. I'm looking forward to touring Chicago a lot more to help me find myself.

I love music too. I'm really open to all types of music, and I don't know what I'd do without it. I can see where your coming from and I think you should rap for the class so we can see how good you are.
