"Night of the Living Baseheads" by Public Enemy

 I chose a rap song I didn't know. I listen to some classic rap but none of public enemy. I saw the music video in class and it was pretty cool. The song has a nice beat and some great bars. This song comes with the trend of commenting on issues in society. At the time cocaine was ravaging the black poor communities. The music video is satire and makes fun of those who think drugs and rap cause violence. The visuals are funny and unique. It's a pretty good song and I added it to my classic rap playlist.

"Jump" by Van Halen

      This is an iconic and classic song that embodies the spirt of the 80's. Since I love rock I love Van Halen but this is one of their more overplayed songs. But it still is a good listen every once and awhile. The keyboard is really cool. Nothing more iconic than the keyboard playing its part.The vocals are amazing and they are accompanied with the occasional guitar rift. Then it has  some really good guitar solos. The song makes you happy and want to jump up and dance.

"I Shot the Sheriff" by Eric Clapton

     I listen to this song a lot. It is a really enjoyable a tune. I had no idea that Bob Marley originally did it till a couple a years ago. Eric Clapton is a genius guitarist and he has some of the best songs ever. This song is in specific is nothing crazy but has a really jazzy guitar. A bunch of really nice riffs and steady beat make this a great song. The story that is told is really fun and simple. Basically it tells the story of a young trouble maker who has a sherif that has it out for him. Then one day the sherif came to shoot him down but the trouble maker shoots him down first. Gives some really cool old western vibes. 10/10 song recommend you add it to a playlist.
