This is the cover image, an homage to The Notorious B.I.G's 'Ready to Die' album cover.
Here is the tracklist and my reasons for each song's inclusion:
1. Despicable - Eminem. The most played song on my iPod. Learned all the words, very sad.
2. Big City Life - Mattafix. I hope I never hear this song again, it drove me and George mad when we used it for our music video coursework.
3. Juicy - Notorious B.I.G. An anthem of my favourite genre (hip-hop) and a song me and a number of friends have mastered on Defjam Rapstar.
4. Patiently Waiting - 50 Cent featuring Eminem. Another song mastered by me and a close friend, always the first song on when it comes to a car journey.
5. Low - Flo-Rida. An awful song but a big one in Years 8-10, always on at parties/proms.
6. Family Business - Kanye West. Beautiful song, I'm sure anyone who listens to it will relate to at least some part of it, myself definitely included.
7. Summer of '69 - Bryan Adams. It's always a memorable one, isn't it? Brings memories of summer camp-outs, some of the 'best days of my life.'
8. White Trash Party - Eminem. Always on at parties of 2010 at which we wanted to seem slightly more rebellious than we were, catchy tune to grind to though!
9. Madrigal - Ruddigore. One for Mr. Smith! My first experience of a large group absolutely nailing a song in a musical, very proud moments after finishing this song on a show night.
10. Any Tom, Dick or Harry - Kiss Me Kate. My first experience of a solo in a song, scary stuff. Did myself proud considering I'm pants at singing and I hope I never have to dance on stage again.
11. Viva La Vida - Coldplay. Another Year 9 prom classic! I remember all joining in a big circle and belting the 'WOAAAAH' bit, a good moment.
12. I Get Knocked Down - Chumbawamba. The first CD I ever had.
