A High school located in Douglas County. This school has some of the richest students in the district. It is not uncommon to see a student driving a Lexus or Mercedes to school. The sports teams are average or slightly above average, as a popular saying in regards to sports is, "Rock Canyon... no promises". The students here score well above national and district averages on a constant basis on almost every standerised test. Currently Rock Canyon has no rival school, but that doesn't stop them from trying to start one with Douglas County or Castle View.

Get the Rock the Casbah mug.Related Words
A rapper from Harlem, NY who is just okay. By that, I mean that he isn't super-fantastic, but he isn't super-horrible either. He has room for improvement, but at the same time, he is lyrically better than most rappers in the mainstream.
What makes ASAP Rocky different from other rappers is his beats and lyrics. Rather than following the status-quo of rapping over club/trap beats, ASAP Rocky is attracted to a more experimental sound in production. His first mixtape strongly proves this, considering that the production ranged from southern-style chopped and screwed beats to abstract psychedelic sounds that would portray the effect of some kind of drug. Also, his beats actually SOUND GOOD, which is rare in today's hip hop. His lyrics are also more complex than that of the average rapper. He's not on Nas's or Jay-Z's level, but he still shows lyrical proficiency through different flows, multi-syllabic rhyming, and internal rhyming.
However, he still has one negative side that holds him back a lot: His subject matter. If you took away all his abstract beats and lyricism, what you'll get is very generic subject matter. Like most mainstream rappers, he REPETITIVELY raps about the following: drug abuse, sex, guns, money, clothes, hoes, and violence. If Rocky wanted to be real, then he would have to abandon this unoriginal jargon that plagues today's hip hop. He most likely doesn't own as much money as he claims, and he definitely doesn't sleep with different women every single day.

"Let's take it to the basis, you in the midst of greatness
My Martin was a Maison, rocked Margielas with no laces
Cristal go by the cases, wait hold up that was racist
I would prefer the Aces, ain't no different when you taste it
A 40 ounce to chase it, that's just a understatement
I'm early to the party, but my 'Rari is the latest
Somehow it seems girls in they late teens
Remind me your favorite jeans cause they naked cause you famous
Life's a mothafucka, ain't it? These other rappers anus
So tell me what your name is, I'mma tell it to my stainless
You aim it 'fore you bang it let that banger leave you brainless
It's just me, myself, and I and mothafuckas that I came with
Miscellaneous niggas wanna hate on me
Until I tell 'em to they face they ain't no G
Low key, niggas mad cause I'm smooth puffin' Zig Zags
Tell 'em quit the riff raff bitchin' with your bitch ass"
-Verse 1 of "Goldie"
Here, ASAP Rocky demonstrates his lyrical talent through his flow and rhymes, on top of an east-coast flavored beat by Hit-Boy. However, he raps about riches and fashion, which is nothing original in today's rap game.

Get the rock the bells mug.Music, stemming from college students getting together to form a band, in hopes of becoming rockstars, but doing so by straying away from any mainstream styles and doing so by being jammy and being "unique."
This ultimately results in becoming a typical college band -- having piss-poor production qualities (always done in a weekend's time at a crappy local studio), slightly out of tune vocalists and/or guitars, acoustic guitars, and lots of jamming. 99% of college bands belong to this group, which is why 99% of successful bands do not come from college formed bands.

Get the college rock mug.For practical reasons, he is considered to be the first hip-hop emcee. Originally a member of the Zulu Nation in the mid-70's, CLR used to rock on stage with the big dj's in the Bronx at the time. In 1976, Kool Herc asked him to act as his own master of ceremonies when his gig of spinning records became to intense, limiting Herc's opportunity to directly talk to the crowd. They were then joined by Timmy Tim and Clark Kent, becoming the Herculoids. Kool Herc and the Herculoids used to rock club spots like PAL, Celeb Club, Stardust Ballroom, Hoe Ave Boys Club, Harlem World, and Black Door. Although Coke La Rock, along with the other members of the Herculoids, never had routines as polished as rival crews such as the Furious 5, the Cold Crush Bros., or the Notorios 2, many hip-hop purists give him recognition as the first rapper ever.

Get the Coke La Rock mug.Rock music with deliberately offensive lyrics expressing anger and social alienation; in part a reaction against progressive rock. Punk rock is an anti-establishment music movement that began about 1976, exemplified by The Ramones, the Sex Pistols and The Clash. The term is also used to describe subsequent music scenes that share key characteristics with those first-generation "punks". The term is sometimes also applied to the fashions or the irreverent "DIY" ("do it yourself") attitude associated with this musical movement. Punks and punk rock were once denigrated by the overwhelming majority of the population, including young people. To be a punk rocker and play punk rock music was to ostracize yourself from your peers and be the subject of scorn. Today it is relatively socially acceptable to be punk and play punk rock music. Thus, some maintain that the punk scene has lost the very heart of its former nature as one of explosive creativity, rebellion, anger, hate, and individualism and that it has become a mere caricature of what once was.
