I started The Labyrinth a year ago, today. 365 days later, music is still the backbone of this blog, and the title of each post is still borrowed from some of my favorite song lyrics.
Since time continues to pass by faster and faster, I decided to take a moment and reflect on what I've written here so far. But once I started looking at past posts, I realized that I wanted to reveal what songs I took my titles from (in case you didn't know the source), and revisit why my favorites make me proud. My topics might be all over the place, but I'm pretty sure that's why I like blogging.
AND MY FAVORITES ARE...
From: Jay-Z "Feelin' It"
The post that first birthed The Labyrinth was provoked by the passing of close friend's mother.
Form The Alliance
From: Big Pun "New York Giants"
Sometimes being eclectic makes me feel marginalized, so when I see people promoting diverse interests, I point it out.

You Gotta Read The Label

While transitioning jobs, I started to get sentimental - but happily chucked a deuce at the same time.

Seeing creativity blend into society is always refreshing. Other cool random stuff, too.
Tryin' To Take My Life Away and Who You Callin' a Witch?From: 50 Cent "Many Men" and Queen Latifah "U.N.I.T.Y."
Race and gender issues in the Democratic primary: Eddie Murphy's jokes from the 80s revisited when 50 Cent discusses the potential assassination of a would-be black president. In the second post, Hillary battles possible gender-bias and misogyny.
Something really creepy happened to me one night, and as a result, I was forced to examine the power of fear.
Two More Blocks...
From: Jim Jones "Two More Blocks"
Conspiracy theories or facts? A study relating incarceration to prisoners' geographical origin that I found at MoMa was both beautiful and interesting.

A Little Bit In Love With You
From: Lykke Li "Little Bit"
I can't JUST quote hip hop artists. In this post, I first shared Lykke Li's music, and also paid homage to MGMT and Santogold using the film The Holy Mountain as inspiration for their videos.
