Music and me

 Hey, my name is DreQuan Guyton. I was born and raised in Gaffney SC but I lived majority of my teenaged years in Spartanburg and graduated from Broome high school. Ummm... I would consider myself the middle child I have two older sisters and one younger brother. I've always been a competitive person and played football from 3rd grade through my sophomore year of high school, wrestled and ran track from my freshman through senior year of high school. When I started running, I began to build an unbreakable relationship with my coach, so I joined the cross-country team my 11th grade year which was a big culture shock for me. The times that I was running seemed to be good enough for me to run in college so here I am now! Now my goal is to graduate Converse and get a degree in Business Management.

1. Most recent music

I have a active passion in learning Spanish and become fluent so my favorite category is romance/ R&B. Listening to this music majority of the time will get me use to the pronunciation of words in the music and the familiarity of the word.



This song is about a guy describing the most beautiful girl he's ever seen in a black dress which he says her skin is as smooth as silk and looking into her eyes are almost like pearls. The eventually go on a date and he barley knows her and feels something he can't necessarily describe but think she could potentially be the one. The he wakes up and realizes that it was all a dream and now he doesn't want t to wake up so he can rekindle the flame.

2. Music that connects to me personally

There is several songs that connects to me personally one is when I was just beginning to learn Spanish and somehow the song, I first learned fit the description so it's kind of a sad romantic song, but it also gave me some hope throughout hard times. Another song the connects with me personally is a song I found out about my freshman year of college when I was grateful for where I was but I felt like I didn't belong but this song gave me a sense of inspiration so I could continue to fight on and find victory within. So, when I feel discouraged at time this song gives me a sense of power and control.


In this song a guy realizes that he's in a bad situation with because his ex-girlfriend is not treating him right in the relationship, so he decides to leave her now she wants him back because she understands what has lost now it is too late. This helped me understand that relationships with anyone is just an experience weather it is good or bad because the is a detour on a road does not mean you still can't get to your designated location.


This song is basically based on a kid who had a bad deal of cards and made the best opportunity out of what he had but understand the hardship he went through and is grateful for the people that did and didn't help him. The people that helped him continue to his journey kept him in a positive mindset and the people that are negative challenged him to see how bad he wanted it.

3. Music that is not my taste  


This genre is not my favorite time of music because their accents just seems weird to me and the beats are just not what im use to i grew up on rap and hip hop and this is the complete opposite

Music and Rituals

 I have been to many gatherings and important events such as  "fun"erals, graduations, sporting events, church,  and birthday's; while taking your class help me understand that every song has its own occasion/purpose. In my family we usually play sad songs in the church after viewing the body it feels sad obviously but gives us a sense of comfort as well it almost feels like a imaginary hug. So the music is correlating with the event but contradicting as well which I found is intriguing this moment is almost bitter-sweet. Usually after the funeral and everything is said and done we all meet up at a family's residents and play only happy music there and reminisce. As far as I know majority of high schools/University's have their own alma mater song which is very therapeutic and give a sense of calmness and achievement as the trail and tribulations someone has overcome and conquered. Sporting events songs/chants depends on the team so it is very diverse and multiple...

 M y first big blog the genre of music that I chose will be talking about is the Hip Hop/Rap industry. Hip Hop was created back in the 1970s born in New York by Bronx. It was organically influenced by African American dancing and was becoming very popular all over the United States. Hip hop definition from the US is that its "a style of popular music of US black and Hispanic origin, featuring rap with an electronic backing". Nowadays hip-hop has another name called rap and now hip hop has a lot more aggressive words being said like violence, sex, drugs, and profanity. But this is the point of hip hop, it is supposed to make you feel cool and confident with the energy and adrenaline rush of pure aggression or resilience. The style rap is used in is very unique I think it's just a young adult's type of music, I'm sure everyone likes hip hop because it's just naturally in our blood from our ancestors growing and being so engaged in the music since I can remember....
