Style Comparison
In my music lessons i started to make a new composition piece inspired by kanye west's lost in the world.
I chose this because this song starts of slow and mellow and then gets faster as the song goes on. The rhythm of my composition is just like this.
The duration of my song is just 3 minutes and 11 seconds at the moment however i have been told that it needs to be trimmed to 3 minutes. It will be around the average of a song.
The structure is a bit like the composition because they are both very soothing.
songs that are very inspiring and classical are:
-Juicy by Notorious B.I.G
-Gangsters paradise by coolio
-Lose yourself by Eminem
-Dear mama by Tupac Shakur
