Help with music project?

Lt.Kill · 11-29-2013, 07:14 PM

So I have to create a "mixtape" essay where I write about songs that have to do with the los angeles (such as if an artist recorded a song in LA that made a profound impact on the music scene) and it's history of racial relations but I don't know where to start. I want to create a theme with my mixtape essay of rock songs but I don't know what to pick. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

Dude, you must remember that the music must have the feel of the lyrics, and the lyrics must be either light and soft, or heavy and persuasive
