Brad Paisley and LL Cool J Receive Backlash

There is controversy in the music industry regarding country music star Brad Paisley and LL Cool J. This controversy is surrounding the song, "Accidental Racist", what Paisley calls one of his proudest moments as a songwriter. The song is a single off of Paisley's new album, Wheelhouse, and doesn't seem to be hitting the mark with critics.

It seems that the lyrics in the song are what's causing the most problems. These lyrics are intended to promote racial harmony between black and white Americans.

The song begins with a guy apologizing for wearing a Confederate flag shirt, and then singing, "when I put on that T-shirt, the only thing I meant to say, is that I'm a Skynyrd fan."

LL Cool J, who is now 45 years old, and makes his living as an actor, contributes to the song with the following lyrics:

Quick Recap of Rap and Hip-Hop History

Definition of Hip-Hop:

A relatively new form of popular music, hip-hop is comprised mainly of four elements: deejaying and emceeing, breakdancing and graffiti. With the growing interest in hip-hop, big business started taking over, and the four elements (emceeing, deejaying, graffiti, and breakdancing) are constantly being merged with other trends, such as clothing, slang, and general popular mindset.


Hip-hop vs. Rap:

Stemming from hip-hop culture, rap, as a form of music, started in the early 1990s. Just like rock 'n roll, hip-hop is a lifestyle with its own dress code, lingo, and moral perspective. To quote KRS-One, "Hip-Hop is something you live, rap is something you do."


The Bronx is where it all started:

Rap is deeply rooted within ancient African culture and oral traditions, which is a product of cross cultured integration. A Jamaican deejay named Kool Herc is supposedly the individual responsible for originating hip-hop. Herc's style of deejaying involved reciting various rhymes over instrumental tracks. He would perform at house parties using a microphone, and a myriad of in-house references. Soon, there were duplicates of Herc's house parties drifting all throughout Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens. The message of hip-hop was soon spread around town and spawned tons of followers by way of Herc and other party DJs.

Humble Beginnings:

Some of the earliest rap songs ever recorded include, "King Tim III (Personality Jock)" by Fatback Band and "Rappers Delight" by the Sugarhill Game. Rappers Delight reached the #36 spot on the Billboard charts, a very large feat in hip-hop by late 1970s standards. This successful turn of events demonstrated just how much hip-hop's ability to draw commercial appeal could grow.


Hip-hop Helps Create the Melting Pot:

Hip-hop is still evolving as a musical melting pot. Borrowing from jazz and soul and adding instrumentation with the likes of De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, and the newest producer to hold hip-hop's baton, Kanye West, who is championing the genre of 'soulful rap'.

This is just a brief description of the history of rap and hip-hop. Remember, always, that hip-hop is a way of life, and rap is something people do. Rap, and hip-hop, are still growing from their infancy. It has not gone through the changes that jazz, rock 'n roll, R&B, and even country music have. We still have yet to see how fast, and expansive, this new generation of hip-hop will become.

Relax After Work with Installment Loans

Stress Builds Up

A few years back, I needed to pay off a traffic ticket in the amount of $175 (plus court fees) and installment loans sure helped relieve some of the stress. Actually, those are two things that seem to go hand in hand: stress and life. But there are most certainly ways to overcome the stress, started from even your punch-out from work.

Leave the Residue at Work

It’s a good thing to take a couple minutes and relax before going home. Plenty of people would say, “Thierry, after work I’m ready to go home and not stay a moment longer.” I understand this logic, of course, but it’s a good thing to stay an extra five minutes in order to clear your mind rather than spending hours and hours at home with the same negative stress and worry you left work with.

While you sit down (at work) and take a few deep breaths, you’ll start to relax; If you’re not sure how to take a deep breath, check out my article Meditation & Payday Loans Change Things, you’ll receive greater benefits from this article.

Home Travel Affirmations

There are a few things that can aid you in shedding the stress, worry, and tension while even driving home from work. As you ride, turn down your radio, try to hang on to the serene feeling you received from the meditation you performed before leaving work, and recite one of these 4 affirmations that stand out to you the most:

· My mind is cleared and I feel fresh and rejuvenated.

· I have energy and passion for life. I feel free and comfortable to live my
life.

· I am floating higher and higher, filled with joy. I am happy.

· I have left work at my job; it is not with me now.

These are but a tiny few affirmations you can state as you drive home, or you can make up your own, which isn’t a bad idea. Self made affirmations are personal and in turn just as effective to your daily success as emergency installment loans.

Clean It Up

When we get home, instinctively we like to relax and not worry about anything. I hate to break the news to you, but in order to have an even more relaxed evening from work you must do a little cleaning.

With the exception of parents with toddlers, it’s nice to do a little cleaning before you completely unwind. A night spend in a comfortable and clean environment will be more relaxing than a night surrounded by stale air, crumbs on the carpet, and fingerprints or streaks on the television screen. This doesn’t mean that you have to move furniture and bend over backwards to get things “clean.” Just tidy up your environment enough that you feel safe, secure, and fresh.

Eat It Up

Surprisingly, I’m not talking about food in the paragraph header. I’m talking about your day. Taking some time to reflect on everything that happened in the day is great. Now that you are relaxed and comfortable, you can better judge the progress of your day in an optimistic manner, as opposed to a pessimistic attitude.

Did your boss say something to you that made you angry? Where you a little jealous because a co-worker of yours received the promotion you’d been working hard for weeks to get? These are all work related situations to ponder and think about while you’re at home, even before hoping into the bath or shower and getting something to eat. Don’t spend too much time on this area.

Did you know…?

Scientists state that the best time to remember information is directly before sleep. The brain sifts through daily information, thoughts, sights, sounds, and smells, keeping what it deems important and throwing out what’s thought of as frivolous. College students are actually encouraged to have “cram sessions” directly before going to bed, this way they retain the information longer after REM (rapid eye movement) sleep.

Road to Peaceful Slumber

Now that you are relaxed, take a nice hot shower or bath, eat a little something (nothing too heavy), and spend the rest of the night enjoying yourself. Put your favorite movie in the DVD player, pop your favorite meal in the oven or microwave and surround yourself in as much pleasure as you can. Invite your beau over and enjoy the company, this will help you sleep better and longer with uninterrupted peace, kind of like how installment loans make you feel after stressing out over any debt.

Personal Loans & Relief with Goat’s Milk

Goat’s and Sheep’s Milk; Yum, Yum!

Personal loans can get me up and running and so can 2% milk. I read an article a few days ago by Leon Moss, another writer on Personal Money Store’s blog. His article, It’s sheep’s milk cheese that gets my blood flowing inspired me to consider my milk intake very carefully. It seems like I run to any available bathroom just a few hours after drinking milk, and it could be just a small amount from my breakfast cereal.

I often tell myself that I’ll slack off drinking as much milk, but before I know it, I’m drinking a glass of warm milk, pouring too much milk in my mashed potatoes, or dribbling just a tad of 2% milk into my soups. Alas, this doesn’t seem as grueling to my stomach when I first drink it. However, a few hours later and my stomach is moaning and groaning something awful.

A Trip to the Library

It was on a nice and sunny day that I decided to go to the library with a couple of friends, CJ, Patrick, and DF (Doll Face). CJ and DF had reports they needed to write up for school and Patrick and I joined along for moral distractions… or, ahem, support.

We’re not considered the quietest bunch when we’re all together. From one of my friends making farting noises with his armpit to the other singing the Star Spangled Banner like they’re filthy drunk, we keep the excitement and entertainment flowing around us. Librarians see us coming and place signs on the available computers and check-out desks saying, “Shut Up!” or “Remain quiet as a mouse… or we’ll squash you like one!” I believe the signs are a tad aggressive, and when I asked the librarians about it, they told me the signs were advertisements for a new movie coming to theaters. I thought to myself, the movie industry is getting a little lax with the movie titles now-a-days.

Bubbling

With all of the noise my friends make, I was sure that I could eat a bowl of cereal before meeting them at the library. If I did have gas and needed to let one rip, they wouldn’t hear it. And sure enough, not too long after drinking the last drop of milk in my bowl (2 hours earlier) my stomach began to tumble and rumble. There was only one dilemma with today’s scenario: my friends were quiet as church mice.

Something had shifted in the atmosphere. The librarians were actually smiling at us when we walked past their desks to use the restrooms. The security officers waved at us, instead of the usual flicking us off that they do. Oh, and my stomach felt as if it would pop or explode. I had to let a couple sounds out of me, and I wasn’t sure that my friends, or the friendly employees of the public library, wanted to hear it.

“Thierry,” CJ said to me, “You look like you’re in pain. Is everything okay,” she asked.

“Oh, yeah,” I responded, lips puckered as if I were sucking on a sour candy. I was dancing around ever so softly, knees joined together and my stomach muscles were clenched tightly.

The Need for Personal Loans

I was sure that the library would need to get personal loans to fumigate the area after the damage I’d cause. I didn’t know whether I should have worn a diaper or just left for home. I kept thinking of how embarrassed I’d be if I passed gas out in the open of the library, or worse, if I had an accident.

“They might need a few personal loans,” I told my friends. They asked me what I was talking about, never noticing the pained expression on my face or the way my body was doubled over in pain. “They might be able to use them (personal loans) to invest in an outrageous air-freshening campaign.” At that moment I let my secret escape my body, embarrassment now a thing of the past. Conversely, I couldn’t help remembering Leon Moss’ article on goat’s milk, and making a promise to myself: I’ll never drink 2% milk again!

Have YOU Considered Debt Consolidation?

I don’t mind…

I don’t mind discussing debt consolidation with random strangers. They often look at me, fear in their eyes as they clutch their purse or exchange their wallet from one pocket to a more secure one. There’s no shame in my game as I wait in line at my bank, rocking ever-so slightly on my heels, my hands clutched behind my back.

“Say,” I remember asking a woman in front of me one day. “Are you swimming in bills to your forehead?”

This is about the time that the bank’s security officer politely walked up to me and asked me to shut up. Though I am a friendly person by nature, I decided to stop harassing the customers and get what I needed before I ended up escorted out by the police.

A Trip to Recognition

After leaving the bank, money in hand and a song in my heart, I decided to do a little grocery shopping. The people in the store give me polite smiles, yet most of the store’s staff avoids eye contact with me. I’m accustomed to it. They’re aware of my debt consolidation speech and avoid any contact with me whatsoever.

Low and behold, my eyes always spot a newcomer, a fresh face in the handful of store employees who aren’t ditching and dodging me. Playing it really cool, I walked up to the diaper section, where he’s stocking packs of diapers. I cleared my throat, fondle a few packs of pampers, and turned to the innocent, defenseless man.

Have you considered…?

“Is the IRS making you cry like a baby? Well maybe you should consider debt consolidation-” I started to give the fresh employee my spiel, but a wise and quick veteran employee just snatched the prey from grasp.

“Never speak to him. He’ll talk you into a stroke!” the veteran said, hauling my catch away. But it’s okay, because I see a pregnant woman casually snipping grapes from a bag and tasting them.
They Usually Slip Away

“Hello, congratulations on the newborn,” I said, eager to make a new friend, plus a commission sell. She turned to me, a warm smile on her face as she nodded her head. I found it rather strange that her cart only had a box of saltine crackers, avian water, and a bag of marshmallows in it.

“Are these diapers frightening you?” I lifted a pack of pampers, smiling like a cheesy commercial actor. She frowned, stepped away from me a little.

WOMAN: What?

THIERRY: The cost of pampers. This pack costs $5.84. If your finances aren’t in order, you might want to consider debt consolidation.

WOMAN: Oh, god!

THIERRY: What? I’m sorry…

WOMAN: I heard about you… Kids run!

Her three other children practically popped out of thin air and started racing down the isle. She scurried off behind them, a polite apology on her face. I felt a little out of place. Had my approach become dangerously obnoxious? I just felt as though the best way to network a helping hand was to speak about it.

Checkout Time

I walked to the checkout line, smiled at the cashier, and she smiled back at me. She looked friendly, open, around my age, and attractive. I stepped up to the cash register and placed my items on the belt.

CASHIER: Hi.

THIERRY: How has your day been?

CASHIER: Okay. You?

She continuously swipes items, and that beeping sound drones on without haste.

THIERRY: Are they hiring here?

The beeping stops and she looks at me, the smile fading into stern contempt.

CASHIER: My credit is great, I own a home, a car, I’m married, and I’ve already invested in debt consolidation. Your total is $45.00 even.”
