rap it to me, please..

i'm loyal to neo-soul and the lovely harmonious r&b..african-american people have such a different take on music as a whole. have you ever sat and just experienced world music? i'm talking real drums and wooden flutes? i went to a live concert at NAU once when i lived there and it was euphoric. i can't explain to you the feeling that sub comes you. live music is always better than the radio or headphones blocking reality...but this is even better. the words are often mumbled but it's more about the message you receive through the instruments. if you only listen to music that's up to date and you want to experience a world music-y vibe..go ahead and pop in NAS and DAMIAN MARLEY..they have a couple good ones.
nipsey hussle.

hussle is my last name...i wish. this is my favorite rapper right now. thank you so much zai. i wouldn't have been a fan if it weren't for him. he's really brought me to a different, for lack of a better term, understanding of rap music. i love it so much and i'm still learning about it every day...this artist, nipsey hussle is the up and coming for the rap game representing the west coast. everyone keep your eyes open and your ears clean, this guy is crazy!! euphoric feeling i was typing about earlier..yeah you feel this with nipsey. he makes you feel like you're watching an old movie..like back when ice cube and biggie..pac...all of 'em. he tells stories. you've got to download bullets have no name vol 1-3. you really wont regret it. go to www.datpiff.com and invest you're time. his album drops SOON so def catch up before you're behind.

j.cole.
this is where hope in hip hop comes evervesent..j.cole is something different for our generation. not like drake, even though people like to compare the light complexion and chiseled faces..these guys are not the same. j.cole brings something that we haven't heard since jay-z was in his 20s and music was really relatable. he has this talent that hasn't been exposed in a while. i'm not a believer in current music. i only listen to classic rap. i'm talking more about spoken word like Mos Def or Common..Kanye has to be the "current" rapper of our generation that kind of represents where we are. however, j.cole is something new, refreshing, different and awesome.i really recommend you get the mix tape and absorb every ounce. i can't say there is one song i don't enjoy..i don't skip anything nd i love the way he raps. favorite song? i'm so glad you asked. i can't honestly pick just one. i really enjoy "can't cry" and "lights out" has to be one of the realest songs about females...these little scallywags. haha. i will not "gas" up j.cole anymore..i just want you (readers) to be aware of the future of rap.

this was a random. these guys just so happen to be the most and almost only musicians that get recent play in my pod..i don't do much with other current music other than skip it on pandora and the radio. don't mean to be rude, BUT (which cancels everything in front of it) current music sucks. i will be posting a blog about the future of music...which i hope my predictions are true. i'm getting back into the groove of things which means my inspiration of a musical blog will be in the making. it had it's flaws before, but i've grown from that experience.

put god first.
