Role Models

I have many role models in my life. Most of them are family but some are outside sources, people I have never met.
My number one role model is my father. He has gone through so much stuff and still continues to grab life by the horns. He overcomes all the obsticals in his life and still goes strong. He was in the National Guard, while he wasn't blowing up terrorists or anything really badass, he was stationed in Guatemala and helped build schools over there. (how cool would it be if he was Josue's dad). Not only that but he sacrifices so much to allow me to live comfortable.
My other roll model is both of my grandfathers. They have taught me a lot, like how to hunt/fish. If it wasn't for them as well, I would be a sissy like everyone else. They were the ones that took me hunting when my father was with my little brother. They are the ones that took me fishing on their boats and catching a fish and pretending they didnt, just to have me hold their pole and think that i caught it myself.
My last role model is Bam Margera, he is a total badass and when I was a kid I watched every episode of him on TV. He made me want to become the rebel without a cause that I am today. I truly believe that if it wasn't for Bam, I would be a little softy like the rest of the people.

  • These brothers deliver some BANGERS. Khalif Brown and Aaquil Brown were born in Whittier, California, but moved to Tupelo, Mississippi at an early age. At one point in their life, they were actually homeless. Before they became Rae Sremmurd they were called Dem Outta St8 Boyz. They would just write raps and record videos and upload them to youtube. Never really receiving much attention up until P-Nasty's cousin told him about them. After that, P-Nasty called them up and told them to drop everything and meet him and Atlanta. After getting the Atlanta, they recorded two songs (both receiving little attention) but still ended up signing a record deal with ear drummers ent. On May 15th 2014 they released a single "No Flex Zone" which gained a lot of popularity because Nicki Minaj and Pusha T remixed it. The song climbed to #36 of the billboard top 100. On September 17th 2014, they released "No Type" which was ranked #16 on billboard top 100. These brothers know what they doing now, and they are going to continue to take over the rap game. They live by the was of Sremmlife, which is like having no care in the world, while playing it safe. This way of life is implemented in their lyrics. 
  • "Bottles on bottles, free shots for everybody
    Got enough for everybody, we crankin’ up the volume
    Turn the music up louder, get loose and move your body
    Get loose and move your body, we crankin’ up the volume

    Safe sex and pay checks is what it's all about
    Don't forget about
    Safe sex and pay checks"
  • These lyrics are a great influence for teenagers. Instead of getting a girl pregnant and being poor the rest of your life, you can have safe sex, and keep your paychecks.

F Iggy Azalea, this chick means business. You can think that Iggy is all hot and stuff but this chick would beat her ass, literally and physically. She is a trap lord and "knows killas that will drop you quick." She never thought she would be a rapper until she met with Block On Da Trakk who is her cousin and he asked her to record a song with him. After they finished the song they recorded a video for it and recorded it to youtube. Katie was in jail on gun related charges when the music video dropped, when she got out, she was amazed at the popularity of the music video and decided to keep going in the rap scene. After quitting her job at McDonalds she signed with lawless records. A lot of her fans were scared that she was going to be a one hit wonder. She replied that she is going to be in the game for a long time, reassuring her fans. She also made a point saying that she isn't going to be like the rest of the female rappers, selling sex for popularity. She is going to keep it real and keep delivering the bangers that got her the fans in the first place.
