Rap and hip hop may be been seen by many as just street music, but amidst the number of rap songs about love, sex, guns, and money, there are some that have very powerful verses. 

In a genre that has been demonized by its association with gang violence, it’s easy to overlook the actual meaning in rap music. Like any form of art, rap is simply a representation of the artist’s emotions and personal experiences.

Rap is more than just rapid-fire rhyming; it’s a recollection from artists who grew up in rough environments. It is an expression of the grit that a tough life demanded from them. 

In order to fully appreciate rap music, let’s look at its history and the genre’s most prominent names. 

How Rap Began

Hip hop music is generally considered to have originated in the South Bronx district of New York back in 1973. A Jamaican-born disc jockey called DJ Kool Herc hosted a Halloween party for his younger sister. He used a unique turntable to stretch out a song’s drum break, which lead to the creation of breakdancing and the subsequent culture of hip hop. 

Hip hop then began as a staple in parties. While DJs spun and produced the music, rappers handled the lyrics. The first rap songs typically sang praise about the DJ’s music skills and were oriented towards livening up a dance party. Eventually, rap lyrics grew more political. 

The music genre became a symbol of resistance against oppressive systems that targeted African-Americans. Rappers began to sing songs that put racism and injustice on the spotlight. Rappers wrote songs, like Tupac Shakur’s “Keep Ya Head Up”, that spoke against inequality and violence against women. Other rappers, like Scarface, with his “I Seen A Man Die”, wrote songs that accurately depict the harshness of reality. 

Rap music has evolved since its conception in the ‘70s and its popularity spike in the ‘90s, but it has continued to be used both as entertaining party music and as a medium for social commentary.

While there are certainly some questionable characters in the rap music industry, there are those who shine above the rest. Kendrick Lamar became the first rapper to ever win a Pulitzer award for music, thanks to his album, “Damn”, which shone a completely different light on the genre.

Rap industry veterans like Jay-Z, Eminem, and Kanye West are still pumping out new songs, but the newer generation of rappers like J. Cole, Drake, and Chance the Rapper have been proving themselves to be just as worthy as those who came before them, bringing songs that have more than just fast rhymes.

Rap is an undeniably important part of social culture in America and around the world. Here are some of the most powerful rap verses that speak volumes about the genre’s impact:

They were journalism, not instructions.” – Lamar Giles, Spin

Why a Husband Laughed In Wife's Face After Post-Chemo Makeover

Just when we think we've got it all under control, life has a way of ripping the rug right out from under us. It may be as simple as our car breaking down at the worst possible time (it's always when we have somewhere we really need to be).

It could be a little more frustrating like getting slapped with surprise bills that'll make us dip into our savings. But there's one kind of disaster that's the hardest to come back from.

It's the news we're all afraid of hearing one day. It's the worst-case-scenario. It's when a medical disaster hits and the odds aren't in our favor. Which is exactly what happened to this one couple when they were told after 63 years together, they would have to band together for the fight of their life.

How this one husband chose to "support" his wife, took the internet by storm.

After 63 Years Together Cancer Threatened To Take Everything From Them

When long-term couple "Nana" and "Papa" learned Nana had cancer, they didn't hesitate to start treatment.

Chemotherapy is no joke, but no amount of reassurance can prepare someone for the uphill battle they are about to climb. One of the first daunting obstacles a woman under going chemotherapy must face? Losing their hair. While there is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, it can be difficult for women to "find their inner warrior" after be forced to shaved their head. Losing your hair during cancer treatment can cause unpleasant emotions like fear, anger, embarrassment, etc. Some people find that being proactive by shaving their heads gives them a sense of control and helps them get comfortable with their new look. After shaving their head, it's not uncommon for women to wear fashionables head coverings like scarves or wigs.

In uncertain times like these, it's when chemo patients need their loved ones more than ever. But "Papa" was the husband who had a shocking way of showing his support when he saw Nana's "post-chemo" makeover. And his devoted daughter, Jenn ( @jennjensc ) caught it all on camera.

When His Wife Walked Through The Door He Laughed In Her Face

As any loving daughter would, Jenn stood alongside her mother to help her with her new transition. Nana wasn't sure how Papa would receive her "new look." In order to make it fun, the two women plotted a "wig reveal" and the results couldn't be more surprising.

"My parents have been married for 65 years. She was recently diagnosed with lung cancer. He tried to be encouraging." - Jenn, @jennjensc

Jenn's TikTok video opens on her father, Papa. She whispers that her mom is trying on wigs and she is ready to show him what she has. Papa seems hopeful. "She's trying on wigs? Oh that's good," he says. But when the camera pans to Nana and Papa sees her for the first time, it's safe to say the results were not what he was expecting. And his reaction can't hide his shock.

Watch Jenn's Video:

@jennjensc My parents have been married 63 years. My mom was recently diagnosed with lung cancer. Shes doing chemo and radiation and smiling all she can ! #laughter   #laughing   #wig   #chemo   #chemotherapy   #temufinds   #marriage #myparents   #willienelson   #nohunny   ♬ Always On My Mind - Willie Nelson

He Called Her "Willie Nelson" — Here's How She Got Him Back

In the hilarious and heartwarming video, Nana's wig is undeniably silly. The long black hair is down to her waist and styled in two braids. While Papa tries to be supportive, like any good husband would, he just can't help himself. Nana is the first one to crack a smile at how ridiculous she looks. Then Papa comes back with the most hilarious observation. "You look like Willie Nelson," he remarks. And it's funny because it's true!

The comment section blew up with all kinds of supportive comments. "I was prepared to cry but didn’t expect it to be from laughing 😂 this is gold," one user wrote. Jenn replied to the comment agreeing wholeheartedly, "We haven't stopped laughing," she wrote back.

Jenn's video of her parents went viral overnight. The video racked up over 5.3M views and more than 35,000 comments! Nana and Papa were such hit that their newfound fans were requesting follow up videos. And they didn't disappoint!

Here's the hilarious and heartwarming way this couple "celebrated" Nana reaching the halfway mark of her chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

@jennjensc Today nan finshed the halfway mark of chemo and radiation. She is feeling great. She so enjoys akl tge comments prayers and good vibes ! #nana   #papa   #willie   #journey   #chemo   #radation   #lungcancer   #faith   #laughter #love   ♬ On the Road Again - Willie Nelson

Nana's Resilience Reminds Us To Take Life In Stride, One Day At A Time

In life, there are no guarantees, but Nana's journey is a powerful reminder of the importance of resilience, humor, and the support of loved ones.

Despite facing the daunting reality of chemotherapy and the changes it brings, she found a way to turn an overwhelming moment into something lighthearted, sharing joy and laughter with her family and the world. Her story teaches us that even in the face of adversity, we can choose to embrace life with grace and a sense of humor.

Nana's ability to laugh, even during one of the most challenging times of her life, encourages us all to take things one day at a time and to find reasons to smile, no matter what we face. It's a valuable lesson on resilience and the strength of human spirit.

What does it say about the world’s most popular rapper when the biggest through-line for his new “playlist” album is a sample of his own voice, warning haters in an awkward Jamaican patois to keep his name out their mouth — from an acceptance speech at the American Music Awards , of all things? A lot of things, probably, but mostly that he doesn’t really have a ton to talk about right now.

Drake enters More Life at what could be called the least compelling moment of his career; his superstar status unquestioned and virtually unprecedented but increasingly uninteresting, his most intriguing new personal and professional partnerships fizzling before amounting to much, his involvement in the only really important beef happening right now coming merely as a supporting player . Call Views an L based on the ensuing Internet snark if you want, but understand that topping both the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 charts for 10-plus weeks and getting nominated for the album of the year Grammy doesn’t exactly let you play the underdog again.

To his credit, the 6 God understands this as well as anyone: “Winnin’ is problematic / People like you more when you workin’ towards somethin’, not when you have it,” he laments on “Lose You,” one of many views-from-the- Views -tower claims on More Life that serve as the opposite of a humble brag. Drake is at a rarefied place for any popular musician — he bemoans success not for the effect it’s had on his world, his art or his soul, but rather for how it’s robbed his career of engaging storylines. “I’ll probably self-destruct if I ever lose, but I never do,” he glumly boasts on the closer “Do Not Disturb”; clearly, his narrative could use the help.

Drake's 'More Life' Takes Over Top 10 of Billboard + Twitter Trending 140 Chart

But of course this is Drake we’re talking about, and nobody prefaces their records’ talking points better than Young Aubrey. In this case, he offered fans and critics an opening volley by labeling More Life a “playlist,” leading to speculation that it might be more of a label showcase — a sort of Cruel October , perhaps. Nope: The OVO boss is unquestionably the lead artist here, and despite some greater wealth-spreading than usual, in 10 years, we’ll be calling More Life a Drake album, just like we’ll be calling If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late a Drake album, just like we’ll be calling What a Time to Be Alive a (half-) Drake album. There’s little actual formatting innovation going on here — the only thought-provoking thing about the nomenclature surrounding More Life so far is that despite being 81 minutes long, nobody seems to be calling the set a double album, proof that the concept of physical media is now officially as dated as Papa Graham’s mustache .

Still, there are some mildly telling aspects to the “playlist” designation — especially from a radio standpoint, since at its best, More Life plays like a really good episode of Drake’s OVO Sound show on Beats 1. The transitions are fluid, the sounds are diverse, Lil Wayne shows up at one point to spark a blunt and deliver what amounts to a station ID. Drake plays your DJ and host, but he wisely keeps his talking breaks relatively short; some songs feature an opening verse from Drizzy and then ride on without him, while a couple interludes don’t feature his voice at all. It’s pretty refreshing — as frenemy Kanye West would no doubt agree , the sound of dude’s voice has become a smidge overbearing in its airwave omnipresence the last few years, so maybe it shouldn’t be too surprising that the key to More Life is Less Drake.

Speaking of Kanye, his structural influence is obvious here: The way guests are assembled as a cast of characters, carrying their own individual styles and baggage to the songs they grace, rather than just signing up an array of 16-bar features and hook men, is essentially Pablo vian. Many of the most recognizable voices in popular music right now make crucial appearances on More Life : Young Thug , Quavo, 2 Chainz , Sampha , and yes, even Yeezy himself, all given the kind of necessary airspace ‘Ye was generous enough to afford stars like Chance the Rapper and Rihanna on his last effort. It gives the work a timeliness and urgency, and takes pressure off Drake to provide all the album’s essential content on his own.

From Black Coffee to Young Thug, Here Are All of Drake's Collaborators on 'More Life'

And when Drake really lets go on More Life , the results can be absolutely sublime. The album’s defining stretch starts with third track “Passionfruit” — does Aubrey have a Dole endorsement deal we don’t know about ? — and lasts for five tracks of breezy, blissfully temperate vibes, borrowing the freshest sounds from Europe, Africa and Central America and spinning it into Drake’s borderline-Imperialist mono-pop. The ethics of Drake’s musical appropriation are as questionable as his increasingly unapologetic (and endlessly meme-inspiring ) adoption of slang and terminology belonging to cultures that are not his own, as well as his tendency to lift flows from up-and-coming artists, as he was already slapped on the wrist for allegedly doing with the pre-release leak of the XXXTentacion-echoing “KMT.” (Quavo’s “Never let these ni—s ride your wave” refrain on “Portland” feels especially ironic in this context, if not downright subtweet-y.)

Musically, however, the results are undeniable. As expertly stewarded by go-to Drake collaborators like Nineteen85, Noah “40” Shebib and Frank Dukes, this five-song sequence is downright transportive. Euphoric grooves and impossibly airy hooks still thud with resounding low end, led by vocals that stretch rap to its most-melodic, least-disruptive extreme, making even “One Dance” and “Too Good” sound like street singles by comparison. The parlance of our times likely demands that we refer to this as Trop Rap, but what it really is — with apologies to Lil Boat — is Yacht Rap; hip-hop of extreme affluence and almost disconcerting affability, cruising in decidedly international waters, with concerns of critical credibility as distant as dry land. It’s absurdly easy to envision Drake in all white and a goofy captain’s hat, doing a clumsy two-step as he sets sail from London to Lagos, and “Blem” even begins with an intro reminiscent of Phil Collins ‘ “In the Air Tonight,” as if to honor the legacy.

Does the Michael McDonald -worthiness of Drake’s chunes justify his pilfering? Arguable, though Drake himself would likely say that his music is simply in conversation with these styles and artists, rather than attempting to steal their voice altogether. And if he wanted to, he could point to XXXTentacion creeping up the Billboard Hot 100 — or cite Google search statistics for Skepta and Giggs over the last 48 hours, or turn on any one of a thousand radio stations still playing D.R.A.M. ‘s “Broccoli” 18 months after “Hotline Bling” was ripped for biting his “Cha Cha” single — and say that for as much as he gets accused of musical vampirism, these artists are more vital now than before he sunk his fangs in. A rising tide lifts all boats. 

Drake's 'More Life': Snoh Aalegra Talks Being Sampled on 'Do Not Disturb'

The high tide doesn’t last the whole album, though. Drake gives you reasons to hang around — swapping vocals with Kanye on the nearly transcendent “Glow,” having Thugger hoot his way through the self-fulfilling prophecy “Ice Melts,” even offering a late appearance by top 10 hit “Fake Love” in case you haven’t had your fill of that one just yet. But by the time you get to them, the album’s prior buoyancy is bogged down by a little too much If You’re Reading This -styled vamping and the obligatory endless PARTYNEXTDOOR song. The problem isn’t so much that the album is too long, it’s that it lets its identity slip away a little — like a million other playlists you can find on Spotify or Apple Music, it seems to put a lot of care into the pacing and flow of the first half, and by the time you get to the end, it just seems to be piling up whatever songs are left.

At least until the final track. Drake closers have always served as State of the Union addresses, and “Do Not Disturb” is maybe his most revealing yet — one in which he admits that he’s been too busy for girls (“Gotta start sleepin’ at the studio / I don’t have time to be no Romeo”) or partying (“Not even showin’ up to a club unless a n—a doin’ biz”) while scrapping to maintain his No. 1 spot. Workaholism is nothing new for Drake, but he’s never sounded quite this weary or exhausted, and when you add up the four (!) albums and all the accompanying drama of his last 25 months, him finally being a little drained of his energy (and subject matter) certainly checks out. But now it’s up to the rapper to enjoy a little Drake Time, doctor’s orders: “Takin’ summer off, ’cause they tell me I need recovery / Maybe gettin’ back to my regular life will humble me / I’ll be back in 2018 to give you the summary.” In other words, More Life to live until next time.

Yacht Quotes

Standart top banner.

Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a yacht big enough to pull up right alongside it.

Land was created to provide a place for boats to visit.

It isn't that life ashore is distasteful to me. But life at sea is better.

The ocean has always been a salve to my soul.

As soon as you set foot on a yacht you belong to some man, not to yourself, and you die of boredom.

Having a yacht is a reason for being more cheerful than most.

The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.

There never was a great man yet who spent all his life inland.

And the winds and the waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.

At sea, I learned how little a person needs, not how much.

Anyone who has to ask about the annual upkeep of a yacht can't afford one.

The cabin of a small yacht is truly a wonderful thing; not only will it shelter you from a tempest, but from the other troubles in life, it is a safe retreat.

I always say that a girl never really looks as well as she does on board a steamship, or even a yacht.

There is nothing more enticing, disenchanting, and enslaving than the life at sea.

Men in a ship are always looking up, and men ashore are usually looking down.

A small craft in an ocean is, or should be, a benevolent dictatorship.

Of all the things that man has made, no is so full of interest and charm, none possesses so distinct a life and character of its own, as a ship.

A ship is always referred to as 'she' because it costs so much to keep one in paint and powder.

later down the road of life, i made the discovery that salt water was also good for the mental abrasions one inevitably acquires on land.

To young men contemplating a voyage I would say go.

Any damn fool can navigate the world sober. It takes a really good sailor to do it drunk.

Seagulls . . . slim yachts of the element.

The greatest pleasure when I started making money was not buying cars or yachts but finding myself able to have as many freshly typed drafts as possible.

At Christmas you can get real bargains. I saw one item marked down ten dollars. It was a yacht.

The Best Yacht Quotes

POSTED BY Pablo Carosella on 31/08/2018

Our collection of quotes on yachting, sailing and sea. Some of them are wise, some other inspirational, some of them are really humorous and some generated controversy. As yachts lovers, we appreciate them a lot and we hope you will enjoy them as well! “Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a yacht big enough to pull up right alongside it.” ― David Lee Roth “If you don't succeed on your own ground, then there's no reason to succeed. Unless, of course, you really want a boat. If you're a person who feels that with a yacht, everything will be all right, then you should do whatever you have to and get the yacht.” ― Albert Brooks “I’ve met the most interesting people while flying or on a boat. These methods of travel seem to attract the kind of people I want to be with.” ― Hedy Lamarr “Being on a boat that’s moving through the water, it’s so clear. Everything falls into place in terms of what’s important and what’s not.” ― James Taylor “There never was a great man yet who spent all his life inland.” ― Herman Melville “Land was created to provide a place for boats to visit.” ― Brooks Atkinson “Having a yacht is a reason for being more cheerful than most.” ― Kurt Vonnegut “All I ask is a tall ship and a star to sail her by.” ― John Masefield “Boats, like whiskey, are all good.” ― R. D. Culler "It's out there at sea that you are really yourself." ― Vito Dumas " A tourist remains an outsider throughout his visit; but a sailor is part of the local scene from the monent he arrives." - Anne Davison "I wanted freedom, open air, adventure. I found it on the sea." ― Alain Gerbault, Sailor "No literature is richer than that of the sea. No story is more enthralling, no tradition is more secure." ― Felix Riesenberg "Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than those you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from safe harbor. Catch the wind in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." ― Mark Twain

• Katy Stickland

We all need some inspiration from time to time. These quotes by sailing legends and enthusiasts have inspired us all at YBW since we launched 20 years ago

“Any damn fool can navigate the world sober. It takes a really good sailor to do it drunk.”  Sir Francis Chichester  

“Every single day since I heard that tap-tapping and knew I had survived, I have told myself I am lucky to be alive. Why go back? Because I’m a racing sailor; that’s what I do. I love the sea, and I love competition. You don’t give up on life just because you once had a narrow shave from death.”  Tony Bullimore

“My mother, when asked for her opinion of the voyage before I sailed, had replied that she considered it ‘totally irresponsible’ and on this Christmas Day I began to think she was right. I was sailing round the world simply because I bloody well wanted to – and, I realised, I was thoroughly enjoying myself.”  Robin Knox-Johnston

“The day passes happily with me wherever my ship sails.”  Joshua Slocum

“The art of the sailor is to leave nothing to chance.”  Annie Van De Wiele

“I really don’t know why it is that all of us are so committed to the sea, except I think it’s because in addition to the fact that the sea changes, and the light changes, and ships change, it’s because we all came from the sea. And it is an interesting biological fact that all of us have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea – whether it is to sail or to watch it – we are going back from whence we came. ”  John F. Kennedy

“There have been times on this trip I’ve been convinced that GPS was wrong.”   Chris Robb

“Calm sailing doesn’t come from calm waters, it comes from having a good navigator; a good crew and a good vessel.”  Anthony T. Hincks

“It’s out there at sea that you are really yourself.”   Vito Dumas

“The cabin of a small yacht is truly a wonderful thing; not only will it shelter you from a tempest, but from the other troubles in life, it is a safe retreat.”  L. Francis Herreshoff

Ultimate sailing playlist: 20 songs to listen to onboard your boat

From ballads by Van Morrison and Neil Young to the 80s Duran Duran hit, Rio, and the haunting vocals of…

“The charm of singlehanded cruising is not solitude, but independence.”  Claud Worth

“When you are in a huge storm, and you’ve set the boat up for the winds, and the autopilot is steering the boat, there’s nothing to do apart from stand there and watch the walls of water breaking around you; it’s an awesome sight.”  Emma Richards

“In splicing, practice makes perfect, and in the doing you will learn more than from reading any ten books on the subject.”  Hervey Garrett Smith

“The only way to get a good crew is to marry one.”  Eric Hiscock

“To win, you have to believe you can do it. You have to be passionate about it. You have to really ‘want’ the result – even if this means years of work. The hardest part of any big project is to begin.”  Sir Peter Blake

“When you spend so much time pushing, caring for, cajoling and maintaining a beautiful racing machine like this, you get very close. She’s looked after me well, and I look after her. I haven’t been lonely at all.”  Ellen MacArthur

“The chance of mistakes are about equal to the number of crew squared.”   Ted Turner

“The desire to build a house is the tired wish of a man content thenceforward with a single anchorage. The desire to build a boat is the desire of youth, unwilling yet to accept the idea of a final resting place.”  Arthur Ransome

“I want a boat that drinks six, eats four, and sleeps two.”  Ernest K. Gann

“A sailing ship is no democracy; you don’t caucus a crew as to where you’ll go anymore than you inquire when they’d like to shorten sail.”  Sterling Hayden

30 Captions For Boat Pics When You're Having Yachts Of Fun With Your Friends

There's nothing quite like boating on a hot summer day. The sun beating down on you isn't as unbearable when the cool ocean breeze is blowing through your hair. You're in for a day filled with water activities and toasting rosé with your crew, so you’ll need to have some Instagram captions for boat pictures at the ready.

There’s so much you could be doing on the boat like fishing, waterskiing, tubing, catching up on a juicy read, or simply basking in the sunshine and working on your tan. It’s essentially a day filled with Instagram-worthy moments, so having your captions ready and a Polaroid camera by your side will make posting such a breeze.

These 30 boat-inspired captions work well for any size and type of boat you might find yourself on this summer. Perhaps your family has a small speedboat they like to take out on weekends. Between tubing and cruising through the waves, you’ll want to take a break and have a yummy picnic lunch or some snacks. Of course, you’ll snap pics of your spread and you soaking in the rays with your your spiked seltzer close by. You might make it a full day adventure and cruise into the sunset. As the sky changes colors, you can snap some seriously gorgeous magic hour selfies.

The bigger the boat, the more chances for pics. So if you’ve booked a luxe cruise to the Bahamas, make sure to have tons of captions ready for your buffet foodie pics, snaps of you lounging on the top deck, and Boomerangs of you waving hello to different ports of call.

Choosing which photo to post can be difficult. But now that you have all the punny captions and boat quotes you need, sharing your ferry impressive day will be smooth sailing.

2. "Good vibes happen on high tides.”

3. "It’s aboat time we all made it out on the water.”

The 10 best songs for your yachting playlist

Music is the ideal complement to the sound of the wind and the waves whilst sailing or motoring along. But what to listen to? Here is BOAT International 's pick of the 10 best tunes to add to your summer yachting playlist...

Lovely Day – Bill Withers

Kicking things off is the absurdly uplifting Lovely Day . Universally known for its summery groove and life-affirming choruses, the song is an exercise in positivity. The “it’s going to be a lovely day” sentiment certainly holds true when strolling the sun-kissed decks of a superyacht, with nothing to worry about except where your next Long Island Ice Tea is coming from. For those that didn’t know, the 18-second-long note towards the end of the song – “lovely daa-aay” – is the longest-held note in Pop history.

Reelin’ In The Years – Steely Dan

The riff-bending Reelin’ In The Years contains more hooks than most musicians come up with in their entire careers, let alone a single song. Steely Dan’s 1973 hit has a lot going for it, not least the ample opportunity for air-guitar (something best enjoyed a good two metres away from the water’s edge). There’s also something evocative about the reverb drenched solos, perfect for when you’re adventuring miles away from home.

He’s So Shy – The Pointer Sisters

This funk number is everything you could want from a nautical bop. The chorus leaps out at you from the stripped-back verses, and there’s even a synth solo to keep the head nodding. The Pointer Sisters’ “so shy” love interest might be a slight departure from the general perception of superyacht owners, but we’re sure this tune will have you losing your inhibitions on deck when it comes on.

Everywhere – Fleetwood Mac

Does anything trigger a nostalgia trip quicker and more efficiently than Lindsay Buckingham’s sampled Fairlight synthesiser at the start of Everywhere ? A few lines of that glistening backing track and bang, you’re back in the 80s. It might not be the band’s biggest hit, but it’s surely their most enduring, just because it’s so singable . The refrain “I want to be with you everywhere” can be hummed at your partner or superyacht interchangeably, so top marks for that.

What a Fool Believes – The Doobie Brothers

Contrary to their stage name, The Doobie Brothers were all actually rather well-behaved chaps. That said, the harmonies on the What a Fool Believes ’s chorus do have a somewhat transportive effect on the psyche. Even though it’s one of the few songs on this list in a minor key, it definitely won’t stop the party with its stomping rhythm and relentless groove.

Cool Cat – Queen

One of Queen’s lesser-known ditties, this 1982 banger sees the four-piece trade in their fuzzy tones and stadium-rocking vocals for something a bit more relaxed and soulful. If the rumours are true, legendary Queen guitarist Brian May declined to play on the studio version because he hated the ‘new sound’ the song represented. Well Brian, we’re afraid you’re on your own there. Cool Cat sways with playful assuredness and should have everyone on board strutting around with style.

Everybody’s Talkin’ – Harry Nilsson

Part of Midnight Cowboy ’s stunning soundtrack, Everybody’s Talkin’ describes someone’s desire to run away from the city to a more peaceful place. “Sailing on a summer breeze, skipping over the ocean like a stone,” Nilsson, who won a Grammy for this performance, sings. This perspective is one that drives so many to set sail, searching for an easier life among the waves and away from the urban humdrum.

Summer Breeze – The Isley Brothers

Nothing summons that high season excitement quite The Isley Brothers’ rendition of Summer Breeze . The song was originally released in 1972 by Seals & Crofts, but the Isley Brothers’ version two years later just shades it. The mesmerising harmonies that the group launch into, combined with that guitar solo in the tune’s final bars make Summer Breeze a must-have in any playlist worth it's salt.

It’s 5 o’clock Somewhere – Alan Jackson feat. Jimmy Buffet

Lethal in its brilliance, It’s 5 o’clock Somewhere ’s music video sees Alan Jackson strumming a six string on the back of a 24 metre Merritt Boat Works sportfisher named Hullbilly , before joining Jimmy Buffet (proud owner of 15 metre sailing yacht Drifter ) on land for some merriment.

Guilty – Barbara Streisand and Barry Gibb

In the first verse, the great Barbara urges the governing class to “make it a crime to be lonely or sad”. We’re all for that. Anyway, it’s quite difficult to be either of those things when you’re lazing on a foredeck sunpad with the ocean breeze gently rippling both margherita and hair. If you were wondering what happens when two of the 80s’ most recognisable voices come together, well, now you do. Pop magic happens.

Jefferies CEO sold $65 million in stock to buy a yacht from a client

• Jefferies CEO Rich Handler sold $65 million in company stock to buy a luxury yacht.
• He's said to be buying a Westport 164 from his friend Tilman Fertitta, a Jefferies client.
• Handler said on Wednesday that he wasn't planning any more stock sales.

Jefferies CEO Rich Handler sold $65 million of his stock in the company to buy himself a gift — a luxury yacht.

Handler sold 1.5 million shares , or 7% of his holdings, to purchase a "personal boat and to pay tax obligations," the investment bank said in a Wednesday statement.

"My sale of shares today was a gift to myself and my family, and I do not intend to sell any further shares," Handler said in the statement. "I remain extremely bullish on Jefferies."

A source told the Financial Times the boat was a Westport 164 yacht and was being purchased from Handler's longtime friend Tilman Fertitta, a Jefferies client.

Fertitta is the billionaire CEO of the hospitality company Landry's and owns the Houston Rockets, an NBA team. The two men jointly own Landcadia Holdings, a blank-check company.

Jefferies said in the statement that Handler, who's been with the bank since 1990, had received about 70% of his pay in the form of company shares. The bank said he'd previously sold shares only for tax purposes and charity.

Jefferies didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.

Investors often view executives' stock sales as signaling a lack of company confidence, so any sales are carefully messaged.

In October, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said he would sell 1 million of his 8.6 million shares, his first sale since becoming CEO in 2006. The filing announcing the planned sale said that Dimon chose to sell the stocks "for financial diversification and tax-planning purposes" and that he "continues to believe the company's prospects are very strong."

Dimon sold the first of the sets of shares in February for $150 million and sold the remainder earlier this month, pocketing $183 million in total proceeds.
