Anyone who knows me knows that I'm constantly blasting his music in my earphones, whether I'm working or doing homework; heck, I'm even listening to him right now as I write this article. I've been through a lot in the last year, and 2016 wasn't my best time, but listening to his words really let me know that someone had experienced what I was going through, and that in the end I would turn out fine. A lot of people view him as just another rapper who talks about sex, drugs, and reckless fun, but if you listen to his words there is a lot of meaning behind them. They speak of heartbreak and hardships, anxiety and depression, and just problems we face as a young generation in general. I met G-Eazy back in the summertime on his Endless Summer Tour, but I was too nervous to say anything that I actually meant to say to him other than hello and how are you. But I really wanted to thank him for understanding us as a young generation, and not just being another typical rapper, but for instead being a real genuine person who speaks the truth about life. Here are some songs that have really helped me through my anxieties and problems, and if you give them an open ear they may help you too.

1. Just Believe (These Things Happen)

Lately I've been losing sleep

Stressed, sorry if my mood is steep
No one to talk to, I use the beat
A couple bad habits that I choose to keep
My intake of booze is steep
Pop a couple of pills that I use to sleep
I think I took a few this week
I'm trying to adjust to the hugest leap
I'm living off this music, here
But I'm afraid of failing, that's the truth, sincere
My anxiety is getting too severe
But I ain't giving up, there's no excuses here
Dying young might be my truest fear

2. Everything Will be OK (When its Dark Out)

I had to wander, I had to go tread my own pathIf you don't step through no mud well then it won't last
The years pass it's crazy how they go fast
Ask myself questions that you have but you won't ask

3. Still

If we'd ever really find our dreams, I'm still chasin' 'em
I still do these drugs, I'm still takin' 'em
I drink bottles in clubs, we still pay for them
I got plenty excuses, I'm still makin' em
I got flaws, I'm human, have faith in 'em
One day I'll find a girl who will wait for 'em
Yeah, guess I'm a constant work in progress
Especially with certain topics
I navigate the road less travelled
Thread the needle, hope that I don't come unraveled

4. Downtown Love (These Things Happen)

Couldn't face the truth but everyone's got something to hide
It's ironic how conscious she is of how she appear
Two hours getting dressed but still can't look herself in the mirror
Making poor choices, even at her wealthiest year
Was a fast lifestyle that no one helped her to steer, yeah

5. Me, Myself, and I (When its Dark Out)

Yeah, lonely nights I laid awake
Pray to lord, my soul to take
My heart's become too cold to break
Know I'm great but I'm broke as hell
Having dreams that I'm folding cake
All my life I've been told to wait
But I'mma get it now it's no debate

Thanks G for making your contribution to the music industry, and for truly being "the coldest white rapper in the game, since the one with the bleached hair".
