                                                                It was said that two provisions passed by Republicans Controlled State Legislature were blocked. One was supposed to end same day voter registration during the early periods, the other was to prevent that votes outside of voter's precent from being counted. The state has said that the decision will be appealed in the U.S Supreme Court. This was pointed out by the NAACP last year that these laws that they were trying to put into play, were intended to restrict the voting among people of color, students and the elders.  When this was being argued one asked "why does the state of North Carolina does not want people to vote". There are still ways being implemented to prevent a lot of voters from voting. They have cut the number of early voting days to just 10 also they are letting the poll offices decide if they should stay open late to accommodate citizens that get off of work late.   Besid

                                                                               Music has and will always be an influential part of our lives. People always use music as a form of escape, drown out, release, meditation etc,. Music is life as we may know it. The mere beat to certain songs gets us moving and  grooving. Bodies react to beats naturally; where it is a sway, bop or nod of the head, tapping of the fingers so, on and so fourth. People know beats when they hear them and as it continues to play it can at times take over your body and mind. The fact that music will always be around should be embraced. Many frown upon certain music due to the content that is within the music. Which can bring you to a limited variety, kind of closed minded don't you think? Every genre has its explicit content and then the non explicit which has a milder touch. The underground rap music has been here and typically it is not going anywhere. We all have our thoughts and opinions on any
