Malcolm McCormick, formally known as Mac Miller, was a rapper from Pittsburgh out of the Squirrel Hill area. Growing up in a close knit jewish community, Mac always seemed a bit off as he cared more about rapping in school lunches or over the loudspeakers at middle school basketball games. His mixtape K.I.D.S. which stands for “Kickin’ Incredibly Dope Shit” was the project that put Mac on the map as another serious rapper out of Pittsburgh. Perhaps his biggest leap into fame was when he released the number one independent album, “Blue Slide Park”. Macs style was very off the wall, and could shift from very up beat party tracks to deep, dark, and disturbing tracks. Unfortunately, Mac Miller was found dead on September 7th of 2018 in his studio apartment. However, his legacy continues on especially in the Pittsburgh community. Blue Slide Park is now formally named “Mac Millers Blue Slide Park.” Some of his hit songs are “Donald Trump”, “Loud”, “Koolaid and Frozen Pizza”, “Thumbalina”, and “Brand Name”. RIP Mac Miller

Christopher George Latore Wallace was a rapper from the early 90s out of Brooklyn New York. In the hip hop/ rap world he was known as The Notorious B.I.G. Biggie, Biggie Smalls, or baby biggie. His style was unique because he often rapped about very dark times, such as in his one song “Suicidal Thoughts”. When Biggie started rapping, it was at a time when the west coast dominated the rap game. With his album “Ready to Die” he put the east coast back on the map. While in Los Angeles one week, Biggie was shot and killed in a drive by shooting. Six days after his death, his album “Life After Death” was released. This hit number 1 on the US billboards and is one of the few hiphop albums to ever reach diamond status. Some of his most famous songs are “Juicy”, “Hypnotize”, and “Old Thing Back”.

Pictured above is the single greatest MC of all time. Yes, this is my opinion, but statistically it is factual that he is the best. From Detroits 8 mile, almost everyone knows the story of Marshal Mathers. He first saw crazy fame when he won a grammy from his first LP, “The Slim Shady” which was released in 1999. Eminem holds the record for most Diamond albums by any artist in the hip-hop/rap game with 2 albums that made it to Diamond status.

The Ramones were an American punk band that I feel greatly exemplifies what punk music meant at the time. The band had a sort of, “I dont care”, “Whats the worst that could happen?” type of attitude. Most famous for their single “Blitzkrieg Bop”, the band has performed more than 2,263 concerts. This meant that they were on tour for virtual 22 years. The fact that they toured for so long only adds to the fact that they are one of the most original American Punk bands.

David Bowie was an English songwriter, performer, and eventually an actor. David Bowie was chosen because his style of performing was something new. Hearing his music wasn't enough; in order to experience his true talent and genius you had to see him live. His shows consisted of him dressing himself up, wearing lipstick. This can be described essentially as the “Glam Rock Era”. Some famous songs by David Bowie are “Ziggy Stardust”, and “Modern Love”.

Pictured above is debatably the greatest performer of all time. This is Michael Jackson. Michael stated performing as a young kid with his family, in a group called The Jackson Five. Soon enough he was on his own and taking over the world in his own respects. Not only did he make songs that people everywhere loved, his choreography and dance moves were something unseen. My favorite song of his, “Billie Jean”, was when he debuted one of his signature dance moves, the moon walk. Countless other forms of dancing seemed to create illusions as he moved across stage. Some of his other famous songs are “Dont Stop Til You Get Enough”, “Bad”, and “Thriller”.

One cannot speak about Motown without mentioning William Robinson Jr, better known as Smokey Robinson. He is credited as being the first Motown artist in America, and more than likely started a trend that many others would follow in their own quest for fame. It is also said that even if he didn't himself play a song, he wrote a great deal of the Motown music that is still famous today. Some of his most popular songs are “Cruising” and “Being With You”.
