I have been on lately there's been some shiz going down but yea i back and here to stay. Well... my last blog was about hip hop and i know it seems that i said all that i had to say....*buzzer sound* YOU WE'RE WRONG!!!

I was watching the Dave Chappell's Block Party, and how he had Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Kanye West, WYclef Jean, The fugees, Mos Def, Tawlib Kwali, Common,Cody ChesnuTT, John Legend, Dead Prez, Andre 3000, The Roots, etc. I was inspired to talk about under rated Hip hop artist that true Hip hop lovers should listen to or know about. So i made a list of ppl and a song i love by an a lil explaination about why

The List

Common:

"I have a Dream"- The first thing you hear when start to listen the song is a sample of Martin Luther King Jr. saying I have a dream...and it captures me. As Common starts to rap about what holds people down in the hood. And how "Hip Hop hold's a Fatherly role..." and as the song ends it say " my dream is to be free..."

Zion I Crew:

I brought up the song called "Bird's Eye view", so instead i'll talk about another song called "Trippin". In this song they describes the things people do to feel included in our society. "And people get stuck Followin the trendsOf a TV generation But where does it end? You can say amen But you really got to feel it Then every time you see a snake You'll reveal it..." I think this qoute stuck out and so did this one "Crazy lady walkin around Shoutin curses at the sky..." It's sad cause people do blame god and and it's sad cause we brought our problems onto ourselves.

Tawlib kwali:

"Temperature" ft. Zion I is a good song because it show's you how deep of a lyricist he really is. All the shiz you hear on the radio is only the commercial things that artist like him are force to do in order to get heard. "Temperature" talks about how people fall victom to society pressures. It's a depiction of what people want you to be like.

D. Black:

Out of most of these artist he is probably the one you'll have the most problem finding. But yea the song i chose from him is "This is why". This song is describing how he became who he is and why it stands out to me is because of this line..."I seems like it was a process to me the hood made sure it was processed in me..." right here he's talking about how his enviroment forced him to think that smoking weed, gun fights, etc was normal to do.

Lupe Fiasco:

I Love the whole album Lupe Fiasco's The Cool it is a great example of having a message in the in your music and he achieve that.

Sandpeople:

"I Don't Care" this is my most favorite song out all of them. I just so metaphorically and intellectually written. It's talks about how he loved this girl and at first he was only with her to get "some" (lol) , but then ended up falling for her. It has three long verses and they each depict part of the story. The 1st one explains how he really doesn't think very highly of her at all but he started to fall for her this was from the 1st verse - "...and you miss were gifted with angelic presistion you made me religious..." The next verse was about how girls like her lacked self respect - "...and i'm sure that it's the little things that made insecure as hell so i ask 'em 'How can I care?' when you don't care bout yourself..." The last verse is the best metaphorical verse in the whole song. This last line of the whole song get to you- " Hells been in you eyes and i've painted it with ink on the inside of my eyes to see the devils when that i blink. She being strange and clever every live of billow's breathe in front of snakes we joined together eating fruit although it's hexed. Becoming vain is better than to kill your silouette, but your falling angel's feathers haven't fill my pillow yet. I sleep on issues and those demons seem to miss you, i'm to nice it's seems you need someone to beat and pimp you. Eden's BLISSFUL..why is it the EVILNESS that gets you and on that tree you'll find Adam's and Eve's inital. Knowledge was a sin on that tree that holds fruit. Call me a sinner cause i ate and now i know the truth and it HURTS,but that's not what you believe in and you leaving me to be drug free ain't a reason. Just know you and i could never live in Eden. You can rip out my heart, but if i rip out your rib...we're even....Bitch." I love how they compare Adam and Eve to his relationship with the girl.

These are some songs that i like and i hope you'll enjoy them too. If you want to listen to them there on the side of my blog.
