Hip-Hop Lives...

Great.  Just great.

Rahzel, Davey DMX , Biz Markie, Dougie Fresh et al. are all somewhere smiling....

Here are a few of my favorite beatbox based songs...

"You jump around, and act a fool, some people think it's dumb...

...but I think it's cool... - Joeski Love


I am going to start a series of posts called Perspective. Simply to call attention to hip-hop snobs the fact that more the game changes, the more it stays the same.

"17th & Pennsylvania bitch my whole fucking block poor...

...Couldn't afford a baby crib I slept up in the sock drawer/Interscope thought it was a joke but it was not though/ they tried to have a nigga do that fast-food pop flow..." Freddie Gibbs the Midwest Malcolm

(Been wanting to do a Gangsta Gibbs post for a minute!)   Anyway,  Freddie Gibbs fills a much needed void in the game right now with this next generation of spitters. Gibbs is straightforward rhymer with street tales, hood commentary, along with a piercing and surprisingly versatile flow. For as much as I love the Cool Kids,  J. Cole,  et al. I have always said it is all about having a diversity of styles in the genre. Gibbs brings that other ish.
