My name is Cole Mooney, and I am a first year student at the Telfer School of Management. I'm 18, I love hanging with friends, movies and music. I am currently thinking of studying Marketing in my future years at Telfer, and I am currently LOVING the university experience.

=__**MUSIC**__ =

Ever since elemantary school, I've always loved music. I used to bring a walkman and a CD holder to school and listen to rock and punk music mostly, thinking I was awesome. Since then, my music taste has evolved to almost exclusively rap. That being said, I also enjoy metal and electronic music from time to time, as well as my favourite rock from when I was younger. This site is going to be based on my five favourite rappers at this time, ones who when I'm not relating to their lyrics, I'm blasting in my car.

=__COLLABORATION__ = media type="youtube" key="BoEKWtgJQAU" width="425" height="350" align="left" This is a collaboration of two of the best rappers right now. Their album and tour entitled //Watch the Throne// sold millions of albums and filled stadiums across North America. This can be known as one of the biggest rap collaborations of all time, as Jay-Z and Kanye West can be seen as the top of the top in the Hip Hop community. Collaboration has always been a huge part of rap music, as it allows different artists to work together, and often times make better music than they could have themsleves. When artists like these too collaborate, it's almost certain that the result will be a hit! // **Watch the Throne** // is a collaborative [|studio album] by American rappers [|Jay-Z] and [|Kanye West], released on August 8, 2011, by [|Roc-A-Fella Records] , [|Roc Nation] , and [|Def Jam Recordings]. Recording sessions for the album took place at various recording locations and began in November 2010. It was produced by West, [|88 Keys], [|RZA] , [|Swizz Beatz] , [|Jeff Bhasker] , and [|Mike Dean] , among others. Expanding on the dense production style of West's 2010 album // [|My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy] //, // Watch the Throne // incorporates orchestral and [|progressive rock] influences, unconventional [|samples] , and dramatic melodies in its sound. Jay-Z and West's [|braggadocio] lyrics on the album exhibit themes of opulence, fame, materialism, power, and the burdens of success, as well as political and [|socioeconomic] context. The album debuted at number one on the US [|//Billboard// 200] chart, selling 436,000 copies its first week. It produced five singles, including the international hit " [|Otis] " and // [|Billboard] // hits " [|H•A•M] " and " [|Niggas in Paris] ". Upon its release, // Watch the Throne // received generally positive reviews from music critics, who commended its production and the rappers' performances, although some criticized the subject matter and the album's cohesiveness. It was one of the top-ranked albums in year-end lists by critics and publications. Jay-Z and West promoted the album with a [|concert tour] that spanned October to December 2011. The album has been certified [|platinum] by the [|Recording Industry Association of America] and, as of January 2012, has sold 1,273,000 copies in the United States. **// Source: //****http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watch_the_Throne**
