    but have many similarities. People say that they are too different to compare, but the way I see it, rap and country have created a new genre. Here are some similarities between rap music and country music. The first similarity is that they both can be poetic. There are quite a few rap songs out there that are poetic. There are also quite a few country songs that are poetic. These songs have meanings are very descriptive. There were two rap stars in the 1990s that were poets. There names are Tupac Shakur and Christopher Wallace also known as Biggie Smalls. These two rappers changed the way rap sounded. They kind of changed rap to poetry with a beat. There are also some poetic country singers. One singer in particular that I know is Willie Nelson. Another similarity is that they create a certain vibe that is very effective.

    When people hear the word redneck, what do they think of? Most would say people who drive pickup trucks, love barbeque, and enjoy the taste of cheap beer.

That is just one of the many stereotypes that are…

    One must accept responsibility to live a proper and meaningful life; however, one cannot accept responsibility without inhibiting his or her life if he or she is not prepared for it.

Jack Burden overthought the act of taking on…
