Songs picked in class

The songs I played in class on Friday were Heart of the City by Jay Z, and Under the Bridge by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I picked the first song because I have started listening to older Jay Z music, this song being from 2001. I don't necessarily like the rap so much as the beat, and the sample from Bobby Bland. I really like the way that Jay Z integrated those samples in. I picked the second song because I have started to listen more to the Red Hot Chili Peppers since they were talked about in regards to the Super Bowl.
