The surprise drop of Drakes new mixtape If You're Reading This Its Too Late has left quite and earthquake of controversy in the music industry. According to Pitchfork rumors have been circling that this mixtape marks Drakes separation from the Cash Money Records label. But what does this have to do with this blog? Rewind to the first post, mentioning rapper and motocross racer Justin Bogle. He was the topic for a review of Drakes new album at last weeks Arlington Texas Supercross race. I didn't discover the album until I browsed my favorite motocross websites and I just so happened to find an article on Pitchfork also reviewing the mixtape.

"Disconnected" Blog Post Response
In the film Disconnected made in 2007 I was very impressed
with how long the students went without using a computer. I honestly would have cheated on the third
day. Not because I don't have discipline
but because being a student now requires daily computer use. I know for a fact
I would never be able to use a type writer, and I don't even know where to find
one anymore. I was shocked to see flip
phones and such pixelated games. We are
all so used to high resolution and such aesthetic digital styling it is amazing
how far we have come in such a short period of time.

JOURNAL #2:What is Communication Worth?
Five crisp Benjamin’s are laid on a table in front of your
face; they practically smell of the press they were minted from. What stands
between you and an easy $500? Give up your smart phone/ cellular device for a
whole month.

JOURNAL 1: MY PLAYLIST
| Highly Overdue by Pak X Emh 2014 |
vurb moto & community reaction
The album Highly Over due by the
group Pak X Emh is an important album to me because the members of the group
are very closely involved with the motocross industry. One member with the
alias Justin Lucas actually has a Monster Energy Supercross title to his
resume. His name is Justin Bogle and is someone that I look up to. He has a
positive attitude and a hardworking personality. He has impressed many critics
in our sport with on the bike talent as well as off the bike talent. He has
great lyrics and musical talent. This album the week it debuted was as high as
no.2 on the iTunes best sellers list. That list included top artists like Rick
Ross and Lil Wayne. No matter what genre of music you prefer, anyone can agree
it is very impressive that a private record made in spare time by a
professional athlete is impressive. What stands out the most to me are his
lyrics and beats which always motivate me to achieve the most I can and do the
best to my ability 100% of the time.
