Pure Positivity

When the term hero is mentioned there is no man who stands out more in my mind than Martin Luther King, Jr. He dedicated every single facet of his life towards the betterment of humanity. Sometimes I sit back and think if certain prominent figures never existed if the world be the same. It is easy to say that without MLK the world would be a completely different world. So with Thanksgiving in the rearview mirror and Christmas right around the corner it is important to remember what we are thankful for. I am thankful for heroes and in particular, Dr. King. In a matter of 197 seconds this song embodies the life of such a magnificent man. Take a listen.

Need to chill out and just relax to some melodic music? Take a gander.

So today I hop in a car and turn the radio on. Something I rarely do, but I had no CD’s in the car. I heard this song it totally re-affirmed my belief that the radio plays some pretty twisted stuff. I really can’t comprehend why they do what they do, but it is what it is. So I heard all these top stars Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Eminem on one track and got me thinking. These are arguably the best in the biz right now. I looked online and apparently Jay-Z said this track is the “best posse cut of the year.” Yo, Jay did you get a chance to hear Cunninlynguists new album “Strange Journey Volume 2?” I think you need to think before you speak. On “Close Your Eyes” you have arguably the best in the underground scene laying down some refreshing lyrical content. Lets rate the songs and decide which is the winner. We will rate this on 4 categories; beat, production, lyrical content, and delivery. So we start with the beat. I am pretty bias on this one and prefer “Close Your Ey

It is happening! Slowly but surely good music is starting to hit the airwaves. Today I got a bit of a reassurance with two artists on different ends of the spectrum, both 100% hip-hop. Hailing from Rhymesayers Entertainment we have Toki Wright in one corner and coming from Interscope Records we have Wale. Rhymesayers is the biggest little record label around. Very few of their artists get major airtime on any radio stations, but they are the most widely known “underground” label. Atmosphere, Brother Ali, even Evidence (from Dilated Peoples) are all members of the Rhymesayers team. Then you have Interscope Records a mega label that shoves music down throats of our society. The problem with labels like Interscope is that many artists feel like they loose a lot of their personnel flair and ability to have control on how they want to create music. I am sure any major label would love to swoop on a group like the Cunninlynguists, but I think they are pretty happy being the kings of QN5.
