For my creative act I have compiled my top 5 favorite hip hop albums of all time that have inspired over the years. I decided to make this a creative act because this songs that are on the albums are what inspire me to do my best work. When I created my other acts, I was usually listening to one of these 5 albums, looking for inspiration. I draw the inspiration from both the beat, and the messages delivered in the lyrics.

Creative Act - Car Audio System

For my creative act, I, with the help of my father installed a car audio system in to my car. My dad installed the last one into my old truck. He taught me how to do it step by step, so this time around he figured that I could do it myself, along with a little big of help. After observing him install the system into my truck, the process seemed pretty basic this time around. Essentially I disconnected the back speaker that originally acted as the subwoofer, and put the after market one in its place. I mounted the amp to the side of sub, because thats where it fit best. The amp has a 2 way output, making it easy to hook up to the CD deck. This is a great thing to know how to do because it allows you to save lots of money.

Creative Act - Cereal Television

For my creative act I designed and built a television replica out of old cereal boxes. I got the idea from seeing a puppet show on tv, which reminded me of building them as a kid in grade 3 art class. I thought it would be fun to re-create one of these televisions now that I am older. The boxes are stuck together with tape, and plastic rap covers the front to represent the screen. A tin foil rod is then stuck on top to resemble the antenna.

Hype Machine

For my creative act this week I have chosen to share my hype machine (Hype M) with you. Hype M is essentially a giant music library, where people can create accounts, and follow the music that they love. The website is easy to use, and its free to sign up for. The majority of the time I listen to my account is while I'm doing homework because it helps me focus. You can follow songs or artists by licking the heart shaped icon beside the file in which your listening to. This adds it to your own personal account, which other users of Hype M can follow.
