Music is and always has been a big part of my life. A classically-trained pianist as a child and self-taught guitarist as a teen, I've not only enjoyed listening to music – I've enjoyed playing it, too.

My father was as blue pill as it got. He didn't teach me the first fucking thing about being a man. Mom wore the pants in their relationship and dad was mad at the world, a world he seemed to have no control over.

But my dad loved music. The only time I ever remember seeing a smile on his face as a kid was when he had a record playing and a 40 oz. in his hand on the weekend. He started collecting records in the Air Force and had a collection of over 1,000 by the time I was born. Most of them were classic rock, but there was some funk, blues, jazz, folk, and country mixed in there, too.

An introvert like my father, I used to spend a lot of time alone as a kid. I'd often hang out in the basement where the albums and record player were. I fell in love with dozens of bands: Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest, Jethro Tull, and so many more. Having access to all that music shaped my childhood and, of course, the man I am today. My father's love of music was the greatest gift he ever gave me.

What we listen to affects how we feel and what we think. You ever listen to a few Hatebreed songs and suddenly you have the urge to punch somebody in the face? Or you hear that song that reminds you of that special person you used to know years ago and, every time you hear it, you feel the same emotion?

Listening to music with Blue Pill themes, talking about love and happily ever after and all that, reinforces Blue Pill thinking. Listening to RP music, on the other hand, can help you form and maintain a more permanent RP mindset.

There have been a few other RP music threads. I think I either started or contributed to one of them using a different Reddit name maybe a year or two ago. But let's do another one. Let's list some really good Red-Pill-themed songs.

Oh, and I noticed that the songs in most of the other Reddit RP music threads were all about banging chicks. While that is absolutely a major focus of The Red Pill, there is also music that highlights other aspects of TRP. Music that talks about success, being the best version of yourself, etc.

Let's list some awesome fucking Red-Pill-themed songs! I'll start:

DJ Khaled – All I Do Is Win (feat. Ludacris, Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross, & T-Pain)

Tech N9ne – So Dope (They Wanna)

E-40 – Captain Save A Hoe

Project Pat – Don't Save Her

Ty Dolla Sign – Saved (feat. E-40)

Johnny J – Better Off

A$AP ROCKY – Fuckin' Problems (feat. Drake, 2 Chainz, & Kendrick Lamar)

Too $hort – Shake That Monkey (feat. Lil' Jon & The EastSide Boyz) [Rick and Morty fans may recognize this one!]

Too Short – I'm A Player

Too Short – Player For Life

Paul Engelmann – Push It To The Limit (Scarface)

Joe Esposito – You're The Best

And that's just off the top of my head! I've been listening to a lot of west coast hip hop lately, if you can't tell. But there is awesome RP music in every genre. What are your 5 or 10 favorite Red-Pill-themed songs?
