I started writing around the summer. I was depressed as fuck one day last year cause of a bad break up, friend told me to download Airplanes. The Eminem verse left me jaw open, I started listening to it over and over. Then I downloaded Recovery and was blown away, that saved my life as well, I was going through some hard shit, no just a bad break up. I wanted to kill myself cause I was facing 25 to Life for a Facebook prank. That album got me over the hump and was able to get forgiveness from the person I hurt. Then I decided to make it a mission to learn about hip hop cause I used to only listen to the beats. I started by getting all the Eminem albums, then I wanted the discography and that's how I ended here. I have learned so much about the genre from this site, been a real eye opener and learning experience. My views on music have changed as well, used to be into pop shit because I never listened to music before Recovery, can't live without music now. I thought Recovery was the best thing ever, now I know better that it is no where near the best and I love SSLP, MMLP, & TES the most, i like N9na, Hopsin, etc. Well, anyways. Recovery will be my favorite album cause of what it did for me. I only been listening since I was 13 now I'm 14. And, wow I just told you my life story haha. I just had so many flashbacks that I had to share sorry
Anyway, been only writing for 1 month. And here we are, I've done a complete turn around with my life and happier than ever
This has been an excuse to vent cause I never shared this story before.
EDIT: Not 25 to Life, was thinking of the song. It was more like 18-20 years jail time for impersonation of my principal.
