Greencorp Project
The Greencorp Project was hard at some points but, overall it was worth it. For our group just meeting was hard at times especially in the beginning. Our first member was hard to get a hold of and eventually he had to drop out and we got Jarred. Jarred was able to help us give a theme, name, and lyrics for our song “Go Green”. He also already had some beats for us to choose from which, made things easier because at that point in time we were behind on the project. When it came time to record the song unfortunately Jarred was not able to meet us due to some unfortunate turn of events. This left Francis and I with a problem in that none of us could rap to our own song or knew how to record it. Luckily, we were finally able to find some people on campus that could help us produce something adequate for our trip to the Greencorp base. Overall I feel that this project has helped me personally learn about the problems in New Orleans that our Greencorp members have to go through daily. Jarred’s situation for example was very unfortunate, however, we are meeting him Monday so we can record a song with him in it, which was our original plan and this will surely end our project on a better note.

Did y'all meet?
ReplyDeleteWhat I thought was really great in your group is that even though you all had problems meeting you did work on the lyrics and the beats. You already had some material which actually didn't make you really behind. Considering all the problems encoutered you all did a great job and there was some team work for sure. The beats were very nice to listen to. I hope we will be able to listen to the final recording. this was for sure, and I think for everyone, a great experience!
ReplyDeleteMisfortunes only make us stronger! I'm glad this project opened your eyes to some of the problems facing New Orleans youth. Hopefully, you and Francis provided a positive outlook for Jarred to help him with what he's going through.
