I have a confession to make, I love rap. I am not talking about socially-accepted, respectable hip hop like Mos Def or Nas. I'm talking about gritty, derogatory, southern rap music like 2Chainz, Rich Homie Quan, or Young Jeezy. Up until recently, however, I never really thought about why I loved this kind of music. I couldn't exactly relate to the subject matter; drug dealing, jail, weapons, gangs, and materialism, so then why on Earth was I so drawn to this particular genre?
Like most Americans, I don't just drink coffee, I drink copious amounts of coffee because I am usually running on very few hours of sleep. From time to time, I find myself suffering from writer's block, procrastination, and yes, even sleep deprivation. Never mind the correlation between my sleep patterns and my coffee consumption--that's not the point of this blog post. Instead of beating yourself up about getting only three hours of sleep, I challenge you to free write your way to problem solve, brainstorm, and meditate.
