G-Eazy: More Than 'Almost Famous'
Seventeen

Gerald Earl Gillum, the Oakland, California rapper with three albums, one LP and countless mixtapes, is somehow still almost famous. After graduating from college, G-Eazy continued as an independent rapper and opened for artists like Drake and Lil Wayne. From his expert lyricism to his dashing '50's good looks, G-Eazy slays the hip hop genre. So, it's important to explain why this rapper really is the next big thing.


1. His lyrics are phenomenal.

Whether the song is about his difficult past like 'Everything Will Be OK' on When It's Dark Out, or he's in the mood to rage like in 'Order More', G-Eazy spits fire.


2. He loves to party.

Especially with Jack Daniels.


3. He's that bad boy.

Similar to the Greasers in the 1950's, Gillum's style gives you the impression that if you hang out, you'll probably end up stealing an expensive car by the end of the night.


4. He has the determination.

As he raps in his song 'One of Them',

"I seen them Rollies, I need one of them

I see them Grammys, I need one of them

I seen them millions, I need some of them

See normal people, I'm not one of them."


5. He means it.


He really does.


6. He has the best-featured artists.

Jay Ant, Big Sean, Chris Brown, Kehlani, A$AP Ferg, Hoodie Allen, DJ Carnage. The list goes on.


7. He's sexy.

Really sexy.


8. AND cute.


He does have feelings. 'Complete', 'Marilyn' and 'Think About You' will melt your heart.


9. His videos are dope.

G-Eazy mocks the classic rap video in 'Loaded', debates his sentiments about being famous in 'Me, Myself, & I' and parties in 'Let's Get Lost'.


10. And he loves his mom.

His biggest supporter, Suzanne Olmsted is featured in the outro of G-Eazy's song 'Opportunity Cost'.


11. He's hilarious.


12. He's incredible live.

Any one of his live performances on Spotify or YouTube makes impossible not to grab a ticket for his When It's Dark Out Tour. (I already have along with Meet & Greet passes.)


13. Yet, he's still 'Almost Famous'.

But, with the album he put out in early December, G-Eazy is on the fast track to stardom thanks to his talent and his fans. And he's earned it.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
