During the mid-way point of junior year is when I heard the mix-tape that would change my life. I was in ceramics when a notification hit my phone about a newly released mix-tape. I recognized the name of the artist because I previously listened to one of his successful songs on Sound Cloud. When I opened up Spinrilla, I saw that the name of the mix-tape was "Lil Boat". After viewing the album cover, I decided to give a listen to the up and coming "Lil Yachty".
The music I experienced could only be described as "positivity music". The beat of the music left a smile on my face and made my feel good about myself. The messages in the song might appeal to the youth but overall it has very positive vibes. If rainbows and butterflies flew in every time that mix-tape played, I wouldnt be surprised.
This mixtape did not change me, it was used a coping mechanism since the stress of junior year was catching up to me. It made my junior manageable since it boosted my self esteem. The mixtape also made me turn up when the occasion was right.
I believe this work of art spoke to me is because Lil Yachty is such a carefree person and his message of just having fun makes life seem much less stressful. I respect this work of art because the effort put in is very apparent and he made this mix tape free in order to spread his "positivity music".

ReplyDeleteVery nice music, I've never listened to that kind of music because we do not listen to that in my country but i really enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteYou say it didn't change you but then write it made your junior year manageable. How often does a work of art have such a long term impact on a person? Sounds like it saved you in a way--allowed you to stay you, in spite of the additional stress.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting how a song can cause this feeling in you. It is actually a very good song and it is also interesting hear that it helped you make it through your junior year.
