Art Imitates Life

Here is a link to "Color My World Mine" from Eyedea and Abilities.  This is the track we listened to in class that plays with the idea of the blurring lines between art as fiction and as reality.

Another song from a Twin Cities hip hop artist is the song "Room with a View", which is told from the perspective of a narrator looking out the window of his home.  This track is from Brother Ali, who is the most famous albino rapper in the world.

These two songs both have something different to contribute to the discussion about the influence of art on life and vice versa.
