"Cast A Light" Plot

For the chorus, I’m going to use a person on a stage singing and playing on an acoustic guitar. Next to the person singing is a table with a candle on it. This will match the song very well, because the song is called cast a light. In the next scene Plan B's part starts and "Plan B" is holding a baby and is rapping to it. This will be seen from the point of view of the Baby. Then it t goes back to the chorus, where the person on the stage is seen again. In the second scene, there will be "Plan B" standing in front of a closed door and rap towards it. After this scene, the chorus comes back and again the person on the stage is scene again. In the last scene "Plan B" is lying in a hospital bed. At the end of the verse, there will be a point of view shot from the point of view of "Plan B", showing the light. Then it fades out of the light and shows the candle light on the table. Then the song ends with the chorus.

Album Covers that I like


Tales From The Crypt by Devlin. Devlin is one of the few white UK rapper.


LAX is the third studio album by rapper The Game, released on August 22, 2008. While recording the album, he frequently stated that he will retire after releasing the album.



Tha Carter III

Tha Carter III is the sixth studio album by American rapper Lil Wayne, released June 10, 2008 on Cash Money Records. It follows his period of mixtape releases and guest appearances on other hip hop and R&B artists, which helped increase mainstream notice of him.[1] The album's cover art features a baby picture of Wayne and is similar to covers of hip hop albums such as Illmatic (1994) and Ready to Die (1994).[2] Amid release delays and leaks,[1] Tha Carter III became one of the most anticipated releases of 2008.[3][4][5]

The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 1,005,545 copies in its first week. It reached sales of 2.88 million copies by the end of 2008 and produced four singles that achieved chart success, including the international hit "Lollipop" and Billboard hits "A Milli", "Got Money", and "Mrs. Officer". Upon its release, Tha Carter III received general acclaim from most music critics and earned Lil Wayne several accolades, including a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album at the 51st Grammy Awards. It has been certified triple platinum by the RIAA and has sold over 3.5 million copies in the United States.



The Eminem Show is the fourth studio album by American rapper Eminem, released in 2002.

The Eminem Show was the best-selling album of 2002. At the Grammy Awards of 2003 it was nominated for Album of the Year and became Eminem's third LP in four years to win the award for Best Rap Album. It has been certified 8x Platinum by the RIAA, and has sold over 9.8 million copies in the U.S.[1] and over 19 million albums worldwide.[2] In 2003, the album was ranked number 317 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. It was ranked 84 on Rolling stone magazines best albums of the 2000s list. The album received critical praise by most music critics and is often debated as Eminem's most personal and best work. The Eminem Show was Eminem's first album to be mainly self-produced, and was the first Eminem album to be released under Shady Records.



Abbey Road is the eleventh studio album by English rock band The Beatles. Though Let It Be was the last album released before The Beatles' dissolution in 1970, work on Abbey Road began in April 1969, making it the final album recorded by the band. Abbey Road was released on 26 September 1969 in the United Kingdom, and 1 October 1969 in the United States. It was produced and orchestrated by George Martin for Apple Records. Geoff Emerick was engineer, Alan Parsons was assistant engineer, and Tony Banks was tape operator.

Abbey Road is regarded as one of The Beatles' most tightly constructed albums, although the band was barely operating as a functioning unit at the time. Rolling Stone magazine named it the 14th greatest album of all time.


ROLLING STONES The Promotional Album '69 (This is by far the most famous and legendary Rolling Stones official promotional album available to date! Compiled by London Records in 1969, housed in a stunning, unique picture sleeve, and distributed exclusively to influential rock radio programmers prior to the release of Let It Bleed, it's a funky sample of tracks from the band's back catalogue. Not concentrating on just the hits, it features more obscure album tracks, and includes an 'arguably alternate' take of Love In Vain)

London Calling by The Clash

Nevermind by Nirvana



American Gangster by Jay-Z


The Black Album by Jay-Z

About Plan B's Cast a light feat. Jose Gonzales (including Cast A Light summary)

Plan B used Jose Gonzales 's song, "Crosses" as a sample for his song "Cast A Light". "Cast A Light" is from Plan B's mixtape "Paint it Blacker"(See the post above).

Summary of Cast A Light:
The song is about relationship between Plan B and his son. The song contain three verses. In the first verse the son is just born. Plan B is swearing him that he is going to take care of him and his mother. He is also saying he is going to stay with his mother.
In the second verse it's the sons 14th birthday. The son locked him in his room. Plan B is standing in front of it and tells him how he is sorry for spoiling his boy, by saying something very inappropriate. Then he tells him how he should have stayed together with the sons mother. The second verse shows that he couldn't keep any promises he made in the first verse. In the end of the first and second song he is saying how he is going for a cigarette.
In the third verse, Pan B is dying, due to lung cancer. He is telling his son that he sorry for being on tour most of the time, instead of taking care of him. Then he sees a light and tells the son that he'll be watching him from heaven.

chorus
Don't you know that I'll be around to guide you
Through your weakest moments to leave them behind you
Returning nightmares only shadows
