Greatness arise from the unexpected...

First off I want to say that Edreys' lecture on Monday was very inspirational. He is very talented and I really hope that he gets more recognition in the near future. He is the prime example of greatness arising from the unexpected. Nowadays, people think that the only things Buffalo have to offer is just buffalo wings and the Sabers. But who would ever thought that Buffalo can also offer a myriad of musical talents that is comparable to many mainstream artists?...Not a lot. From today's lecture we learned that hip-hop originated from the Bronx. Talented people are everywhere but they can't be found that easily. Sometimes you have to go to the least expected places to find great talents. One thing that I really like about Edreys' music is how he chooses not to use any profanity within his music. Hip-hop often carry the stereotypes of the use of profanity and the subject often revolves around sex, drug and money. Edreys definitely showed us that that is not that case. Hip-hop can be profanity free and can be about inspirations and goals instead of sex, drugs and money. I really respect what he does and I'm glad that we have people like him to show what true hip-hop is.
