Undercover Artist(s)

          My favorite genre of music ranges from hip-hop to alternative and I really pick a better of the two, so I'm going to do two music reviews. The first is my favorite rapper, J. Cole. Everyone might think that they know who he is because of the few singles that he has recently released, but J. Cole was dropped 3 great mixtapes (The Warm-up, The Come-up, and Friday Night Lights), all of which show the personality of a non-commercial rapper, which I think is the one thing that the hip-hop industry lacks. I think that J. Cole says what he has to say, not only about cars, and clothes, but about the stuff that really matters in life and to him. And I think this trait makes him one of the greatest rappers alive today. My second artist is The Whitest Boy Alive. He is an alternative artist, that a lot of people do not know about. I think that his songs are very unique and creative and bring a new style to the table of alternative music.

Jay & Nick

                   Gatsby, a man with nearly everything, but doesn't feel complete unless he has what he truly desires, a woman. Gatsby, however, is a very wealthy man, so his money would potentially draw the eye of any woman. What Gatsby really needs is authenticity. He needs a woman that is true to him and to herself. Gatsby has to have a woman who is sophisticated but still able to have fun. Gatsby needs Daisy.

           Conversely, Nick is a well suited man. He doesn't have a lot of many, but has an education, and the socially networking to become a man like Gatsby. Even so, it's necessary for Nick to gain knowledge and experience from a man of a high stature (Gatsby), in order to become more successful

          Consequently, we see that there are two people, after two different things, who can get these things from one another. This brings speculation to their friendship. A friendship that isn't entirely authentic. Even though it started as two neighbors, becoming acquaintances, the true reason they became friends was to use one another to get want they want.
