I think I've given up on Hip-Hop. These past few years, more like a decade, have been filled with bubble-gum rap and lyrics full of "bitches, hoes, guns, money, and whips". Smhh. What happened to having a message behind the rhymes? What happened to trying to uplift the listeners?? I don't understand. I truly don't. This dilemma is what has me constantly listening to Rap from the 80s and 90s (early-mid 90s). HOWEVER... as of late, I've come across two young men who I just can't get enough of, musically speaking. They are Wale and J.Cole. I admit to downloading Wale's album instead of buying it, but the album is BANGIN!!! He speaks about real ish && I LOVE IT. J.Cole is my new love. I've listened to 2 of his mixtapes && I must say, he's breath of fresh air. Both of them are. Trust that both Wale and J.Cole stay on repeat on my laptop & my ipod. I love that both of them portray themselves in their music. They don't demean women, but they speaks truths of women. I love their rhymes && lyrical wordplay. They develop stories through their music && trust that I'm enthralled in each and everyone of them. I encourage you to take a listen (:
