Disclaimer, hope you are sitting down for this shocking piece of information, but I'm a 50 year old whitey and I don't know my rap music history/musicians/themes. And yet, still the best movie.
Here are some life skills that were phenomenally shown in SOC:
- Just because someone seems like they know what's good for you and how you should live your life, that doesn't mean they are right, even if they love you.
- Friends are important. If they screw up and hurt you, be willing to get past it and keep them close.
- People in power that don't do the work are so tricky in finding ways to make money off of your hard work.
- If you have a passion and talent, pursue it in some form, not just to make money, but to live your life fully.
- Movies are teaching tools and don't have to be preachy to teach(y). (like I said, I knew nothing going in, but I can discuss Dr. Dre and NWA and such with you now without a deer in the headlights look.)
- Be willing to stick to your guns about what's right and wrong.
- Even potty mouths (long live potty mouths) have something important to say.
- The path you are on now is not necessarily your path for the rest of your life.
- There are many ways of changing the world.

ReplyDeleteGuess what? This is exactly what big companies are paying me for. They need to know what their customer base needs and wants. So large companies pay millions of dollars per month to the average person. In return, the average person, myself included, answers some questions and gives them their opinion.
