The Lakers are on the verge of taking the 8th and final playoff spot for their own. Kobe’s reference to Coach Vino is something he began to bring light of earlier this season as he emerged on the twitter scene. “Vino” stands for “wine” in Spanish. Bryant referred to himself as vino because wine improves and tastes better over time. At age 34, many people were doubting Kobe’s abilities, but he has shown that he still is an elite player. By being knocked out for the remainder of the season, the only thing Kobe can do to help the team is to coach. Kobe feels as if he can at least help his teammates out by dictating from the sideline seeing as he is out for season, hence the name Coach Vino.

After all the greatness he’s put out on the court and every breath taking move he’s done, one move that he does on a daily basis (a quick drive to the left) takes him out for the season.

That’s what ignites the frustration in this open letter.

Kobe was questioning himself as if this was going to be his last time on the court. He assures himself (and us) that he has not played his final game; he will return one day.

Possibly a reference to Aragorn’s always inspiring speech:

Today’s generation(mainly 14-25 year old African Americans) base what level of ‘'respect, or your credibility off of how you dress(name brand wise). And yes it even reaches and trickles down to the relationship level. You have to have some ’‘swag’‘ to even be approachable

Clearly every allegation with Drake being with a woman is a lie. He clearly has it out for whoever his ex is, and the prime driving force behind the ‘'Take Care’‘ mellow approach . He’s telling her that its only for the cameras, behind the scenes he’s still the Drake she knows

This is D.R.C’s first studio single off the EP ‘'SkyScraper’‘ released on iTunes

The song is wrapped around nightmares about the women he’s been with, the hate endured , and the lifestyle he lives, how can nightmares be beautiful ? He’s speaking in terms as everything viewed as nightmarish to some i.e ‘'Talking to someone’s wife’‘, ’‘being UN-orienated’‘ with friends and family, not knowing who likes you or who you appeal to, having sex with lots of women, staying in the clouds(high) , drinking excessively….The artist embraces this lifestyle it is beautiful to him as what would be a nightmare to some…at the end of the song you find out that he is merely awake but realizing that he dreams of these things, but also lives them..hence the line ’‘I walk my nightmares even, when I’m not sleeping’'
