F*** Off

When Asher Roth first appeared on the scene, I enjoyed "I love college," But I was skeptical. I wondered if it was just another industry gimmick or if it was the emergence of a real MC. I'll be honest, my initial investigation consisted of watching one freestyle on youtube. But just recently I heard a new song by Asher and B.O.B titled, Fuck The Money. In it, both Asher and B.O.B are articulating pure realness and their true plans for the industry. Then I came across the video for Asher's song, Muddy Swim Trunks; I thought it was independent,creative genius, all done in one take. I also took notice to Asher's captivating flow and steady, controlled use of diction; it's great.

Rap and Hip-hop have gone to shit. It has become less about content and talent; it has transformed into a race of who can produce the most bullshit until they become famous. Once that occurs, you begin the repetitive emphatic of one's "soul being sold". It's some really sick shit and forced me to turn my back on all that is commercial Hip-hop. So I just want to say, Fuck you Jay-Z, Lil' Wayne, Drake, Ludacris, Gucci Mane, 50 Cent, Kanye West, OH and Fuuuuuckkk Youuuuu Soulja Boy. That 'Fuck You' also stretches to whoever else falls in their category and considering the fact that I don't listen to the radio or watch television, my list is limited (I don't trust the fuckers who appear on those mediums).

Thank you to those who have yet to sell out and are attempting to save Hip-Hop music, AquaForce, Asher Roth, Blue Scholars, Binary Star, Nas( I don't think he'll ever sell out), Kid Cudi, The Cool Kids, Consequence and many others.

HOW I GOT OVER

I'm just sharing a joint from The Roots that was released several months back. It's pretty dope and I still love it.

DAS RACIST

Comedic rap? No. Just two guys based in Brooklyn rapping about random shit over cool beats. Himanshu Suri and Victor Vazquez, along with their hype-man Ashok Kondabolu are just entirely entertaining, even though they don't have any substantial lyrical content. Music fiends may remember their song, Combination Pizza hut and Taco Bell from a while back, but now they've released their independent album Shut up, dude. You may love it, like it, or hate it; at least judge it.

HOW TO MAKE IT

The unofficial poor man's anthem and also the opening song for HBO's new show 'How to make it in America'. Aloe Blacc's Single, I need a Dollar, is simple, soulful and heart felt. His voice and words delve into the recesses in the mind of every person trying to make it in this country. Whether you're in College, Job hunting, Standing on a corner or waiting for your unemployment check. Pay attention to Aloe Blacc He's been around since the mid 90's and I think he's trying to send us a message!

WOLVES

Remember AquaForce, The Hip-Hop group from New Orleans? (If you don't, check previous posts for their other singles). They're releasing their Mixtape, Burgundy, this weekend. I've listened to their new single titled, Wolves and it is a well put together, piece of work. Who am I kidding? That shit is hott. The beat has a heaving intro with a well incorporated sample of a females voice. Mid-track there's also a hilarious sample from a cartoon shown on Adult Swim. These dudes are seriously "Wolves" and they know it. I've posted a link to download their single, Wolves. Download, Listen, and Enjoy. Leave comments and let me know what you think.

AQUAFORCE

Holy shit. What a surprise. I'm posting Hip-Hop? There's a reason it has taken this long. I've been patiently waiting for Artists and songs worthy enough to post. That void has finally been filled by an upcoming group; AQUAFORCE. You're probably wondering who they are, you've never heard of them. Well, AQUAFORCE is hailing from New Orleans, Louisiana and they're obviously ready to take Hip-Hop back. The group is comprised of, Future, Malachi, CHRLS XVR and DS@STR. Their sound is a blend of Jazz, old school Hip-Hop and a bit of Soul; Reminiscent of the sound brought to us in the early 90s by groups like, 'A Tribe Called Quest', 'Leaders of the New School' and 'Lost Boys'. I'm excited to finally hear some music by people who understand the meaning of Hip-Hop and where it should be. They're sure to gain a large following if they stay true and continue to serve music what it needs. Download and listen.
