    I found it particularly interesting that he didn’t want to record it. Which musician would write a song, perform it and not want to record his music? He had refused to record the song and sang it only live at his concerts with military personnel. I think he already knew that his song was meant for a particular audience and not for everyone. He knew his lyrics were very patriotic with militaristic sentiments.…

    Released on July 1, 1991, the single Mind Playing Tricks On Me by the Geto Boys delved into the mental stress of gangsta and drug addict lifestyles, and addressed how one reaffirmed their existence. During this period, the group consisted of Willie D, Scarface, and Bushwick Bill. They acknowledged their issues, such as coping, vulnerability, and reasons for living. Through this song, one is able to deduce that the lyrics and beat complement one another, and the first few verses set the tone of the entire track. Although there was a tendency for intoxication and profanity during the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Geto Boys hit Mind Playing Tricks On Me is a classic hip hop song that inspired generations of rappers in suit, is not one solely about drugs, and vocally illustrated hardships that were not commonly spoken of during that time.…

He extends the overall question of “where were you?” to both celebrities and the common American, in asking them to contemplate their reaction. He mentions a few, such as shock, relief, anger and hope.…

    Music Composer for To Kill a Mockingbird • “Ultralight Beam” by Kanye West is the first song on this soundtrack. The second verse by Kelly Price talks about how “You persecute the weak / Because it makes you feel so strong,” similar to when Atticus talks about how Mayella is putting this man on trial so she doesn’t have to deal with the fact she kissed a black man. They both possess the mood of being somber. The song makes you feel as if there are problems that have been corrected and you finally feel free.
