Introduction

• When I was a kid I only listened to rock music and pop music. When I turned thirteen I started listening to artists like Eminem and that’s when I fell in love with rap. And that’s when I started listening to other artists like Tupac, The Game, D12 and Hopsin.

Favourite Artist (Eminem)

• My all time favourite rapper is Eminem, the style of music he makes is Rap, Hip Hop and Horrorcore. I like his music because it is catchy and it puts me in a good mood. Some of my favourite eminem songs are “Amityville” “Renegade” and “Mockingbird”

Music Players

The iPod is apples music player and many peoplechoose them as their music player becauseof the quality of the product and because it’s a ipod they are fairly expensive ($150-$300)

A mp3 player is simple to use and plays music almost as good as an ipod but for a much cheaper cost ($20-$150)
