Introduction

My name is Jonah Galan, I like to listen to rap music but various types of music such as old school rap and some of todays rap. I like to listen to rap because I feel when someone raps they speak from an experience they have seen or visualized in their life but send a message that isn't necessarily shown but you have to feel and understand it threw the beat and tempo.

From the start of the beat to the message of the voice has changed the way I see and understand things in my life.  As a young kid to today, I was always curios on how things happened and why they happened. So as I listened to music it helped understand life and why certain things happen for a reason. In 1996, Nas came out  with an album that was called, "It Was Written" and every time I listen to his album I receive a different message every time because I understand certain songs that I didn't before and I learn the reasoning of each song.
