Basketball Essay

My favorite thing to do is play basketball, I am pretty good at it. Basketball is my favorite sport.
Why is basketball my favorite sport, because I'm good at it I have been playing basketball since I was 9 I started on rec. My friend Alex tought me how to play. I think I'm good because Alex is an eight grader now so I would pley with him and his friends so if i took a regular shot it would end up blocked so I had to find a way around them and I translated that onto the court. My best range is medium and close range shots my only disadvantage is my height i'm only 5 foot so it is easier to block my shots. I also love playing defense I'm good at stealing the ball from the guy I'm guarding.
My favorite NBA team is the Milwaukee Bucks and the Atlanta Hawks the bucks had a down season this year while the hawks made the playoffs but got eliminated in the first round. The bucks and hawks are both in the eastern confrense. The bucks star player is Brandon Jennings and the hawks star player is Joe Johnson. Jennings is a Point Guard and Johnson is a Power Forward.

Basketball is my favorite sport no other sport contests with it. The sport is exciting and full of action and suspense.

Once upon a time in the land of amazing vile there was a man, a man named Joe Fletcher. He was a secret services agent. Joe had done many things in his life, he was the first man on Mars, he had broken many records for physical events like most weight lifted and fastest mile time. But this was his most rewarding career he has saved many life's before like the president of the United States and many more government officials. But while his last mission he had enough with being pushed around by his superiors so he got in touch with the Taliban. His mission was to extract the secrets in the pentagon about the States defenses he had it planed out but people need to be more careful with secrets because his partner Rickie Harris had over heard the conversation and knew what was going to happen.
Joe was ready he had the flash drive and a pistol but he didn't know Rickey had been following him, Joe took the stairs to the lower level of the pentagon Rickey followed he was trying to keep Joe with in eyes sight but he was beginning to loose him.

Music

Music is great I love music. The songs have great beats and lyrics, I especially love rap music with that type of music a lot of its explicit but if you get passed the swearing the songs mean something. That is why I mostly love Eminem he is my favorite rapper. Even though in some songs if you get the clean version you only hear 20 words and the rest silence. Well I don't get the clean version but in his songs they mean something his most deep song is probably "Like Toy Soldiers" in his album Encore it is actually 3ecore the e is backward that I think is Eminem's signature the backwards e it is on all of his albums that have an e in it the 1 e is backwards. Even in his stage name the last e is backwards E-M-I-N-3-M. I have no idea what is symbolizes. But I bet in means something.

Eminem- Like Toy Soldiers
I'm supposed to be the soldier who never blows his composure. Even though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders. (I’m the one to keep a state of mind when there is chaos around me.)
I ain't never supposed to show it, my crew ain't supposed to know it. (I need to stay strong and not show or tell anyone the misery inside me)
Even if it means goin' toe to toe with a Benzino it don't matter I'd never drag them in battles that I can handle unless I absolutely have to I'm supposed to set an example. (No matter the odds I will stand my ground)
And even though the battle was won, I feel like we lost it I spent too much energy on it, honestly I'm exhausted and I'm so caught in it I almost feel I'm the one who caused it. (Even thought we won we lost at the same time, we weren’t suppose to be here but we are.)

Like Toy Soldiers is a very deep song wrote by Eminem his intentions of the song was to stop rap violence after his best friend Cooper was shot and killed in a Detroit night club.

The lyrics are very deep, in the song Eminem compares rappers that have been killed to toy soldiers that are controlled by someone else which in many cases is a record company that sells albums and profits from the controversy. My interpretation of the song, this song was indefinitely suppose to be sad, when Eminem says I’m supposed to be the soldier who never blows his composure he means he needs to keep calm because his crew depends on him to be the leader and guide them. He also mentions his and 50 cents feud between Ja rule. In the rap world it is crazy with violence and feuds and that was Eminem’s ammo when he was writing this song he also uses a multitude of rappers that have been killed through all of the chaos including Tupac Shakur, Notorious B.I.G, Big L, and former D12 member Bugz.
In Like Toy Soldiers part of the song is about the 50 cent, Ja rule Beef in the song Eminem and Dr.Dre told 50 not to get involved in the Beef until Ja Rule started up, so Eminem said whatever and let 50 go at it.”Lyrics” We actually tried to stop the 50 and Ja beef from happenin'
Me and Dre had sat with him, kicked it and had a chat with him
And asked him not to start it he wasn't gonna go after him Until Ja started yappin' in magazines how we stabbed him. Whatever 50 smash 'em, mash 'em and let him have it.
In the end the song was a hit everyone loved the song if you don’t believe me about the song check out the music video.

Curtis “50 cent” Jackson is one of the best rappers ever you would think he has the good life. He is rich, and he is famous. But his life is isn’t all good before he was a rapper he was a gangster he robbed banks, he shot people, he has been in jail, but his direction had changed when he became a rapper his gang had it out for him now but something terrible happened on May, 5, 2000 he was leaving his grandma’s house and he got into his friends car who was picking him up when a car came up next to the car that 50 was in. A spray of gunfire came from the other car and hit 50 nine times while the gunfire was going on 50 pulled out his gun and fired but nothing happened the gun wasn’t cocked when the other car left his friend threw 50’s gun down the sewer so there would be no suspicions and drove 50 to the hospital. A bullet had gone through 50’s left pinkie finger and came out his right thumb; another bullet went through 50’s cheek and is still in his tongue today.”That’s why he has a slight lisp today”. He was also hit in the chest and legs he survived but was in the hospital for a while. When he got out he released his album “Get Rich or Die Tryin’”. G-Unit”50’s group” made up of 50 cent, Lloyd banks, Tony Yayo, and Young Buck. Went after the shooters, he now is very heavily guarded he has a bullet proof vest, hat, pants, and Benz. G-Unit is always around him too 50 has his gun, Lloyd has his gun, Yayo has his gun and Buck has his gun with them all time so now it’s hard to get to 50 cent. When 50 was locked up in jail he wrote 3 of his song on the wall including “Candy Shop”, “I get Money” and I don’t know the last one.
