  • Lil Durk - Bang Bros 
  • Why did you chose that as your main choice? I chose this song because he is a chicago native & barely 19 doing big things and the way he raps is different from others in the rap game.
  • What things attracted you to that choice? The fact that he is one of the youngest dudes in the rap game and he is part of the otf movement from chicago 
  • Why was it the best of 2013? I think it is the best song of 2013 because it is a very good song and anyone can listen to it 
I feel like this is one of the best photos of 2013 because these are the women of the united states marine crops who serve our country and protect us from all the violence in the world is had a special place. In my heart because both my brother and my sister in law are both in the services my brother is in the navy and his wife is in the army.






This is also one of the great photos from the year 2013 this in my opinion is one of my favorites because it shows one of my favorite places to go to which is chicago illinois. I try to go up there as much as i can it is a very nice city downtown is so nice a night.




This is an amazing photo because it shows the people trying to either pet or care for the elephant it looks like it is hurt or sick. This is also very amazing because the elephant represents hope i think i can be mistaken
