The Residents - Veterans ft. Edo G

By -
Hip-hop at it's finest and an absolute underground banger. Between Muneshine, Saint, and Edo G. you've got yourself a superb producer and well versed emcee's to create the perfect concoction of seasoning. While the song may be a refreshing take on a terrible topic it keeps the taste buds begging for more. I always rapture in joy for a song portraying distaste in the current state of affairs for the industry. So without further ado, enjoy!



Lyrics: The Residents - Veterans ft. Edo G.

You think the truth is clear?
Good thing for you the truth is here
When the truth you fear is whats in front of you
Whatcha gonna do but run when I pull the rug from under you
A lot of talk I'm hearing is true lies
You guys who try to be something you're not, frontin'
You fumbled your raw style it's not appealing at all
Put the mic down right now it's lights out
For the phony the future is looking dim
For anybody flapping jaw take a hook to the chin
No bullshitting
It's T R U T H that do great forget looking moon in the face
Talking till you're blue in the face
It makes no difference
Yeah you're persistent but we face no resistance
Tired as some michelins
Hit the road jack get the gats
Your bitch can get the ballsack

Yeah yo check this out
This goes out to all ghettos
Squash devils on all levels
Edo rock your pebbles
I'm Lebron you're Carmello's
That's second place
Protect your space
I ain't aiming for the neck or waist
I'm hitting head and face
I'm waiting to feel
You a dog but you're chasing your tail
Running in circles
While them cops encircle
I'm about virtue without trying to hurt you
It's past has come little jigger
My road is much rigor
The vigor much bigger than any young spitter
Vocab gun triggers attracting gold diggers
Y'all some cold niggas
I don't think so
Cause you think slow
It's the keypad homie not the ink flow
The color green distinctive money
We don't laugh at everything that you think is funny

How I talk about the industry nothing to loose
These other cats are bad energy something to prove
Dudes are running out of topics teaching lies for profits
Got the kids believing reaching inside their pockets
Reminiscing when I had a meeting with Def Jam
They said, "You nice but need to sound like the rest man
Kids want guns and drugs but I wish you the best fam"
Yeah you might be right but I deal with the left hand
In other words my motives are the opposite
Of the politics of when and when not to spit
So you got to get it left before you get it right
We all need to set examples for a better life
And by that I mean legally
It's easily a slippery slope
From living in poverty to selling dope
Rappers you never know who's listening and missing the fact
You act thug as a way to attract
We got children overseas who ain't making it back
True folks for real why you feeding them jacks
"Oh why you hating?"
I'm just stating the facts
Something for you to contemplate while you making them tracks
"Nah chill" I wish I could but can't afford to relax
If I don't care who will would you choose the blue pill
When fate becomes real telling you how you feel
It's not just a verse it's real loose the veil

Woke Up Making Money - SoulChef ft Declaime

By -

Built like Budda and Bob Marley on a Harley  So much flavor on this track it was clearly concocted by SoulChef. The title of this track is just outright deceitful; the art of making money has been bastardized and turned into an act of craving cash rather then flourishing ones talent. That's exactly why the crispy cadence of Declaime reclaims what is it to be truthful to oneself. I lack the words to accurately describe how poignantly powerful this gem is. SoulChef is one of the greatest producers and an ode to a time that is quasi lost. When coupled with a lyricist who can consciously construct a clear message it's apparent that the power of hip-hop is still exceptionally strong. I love it from top to bottom. It radiates and embodies what I want to be as person. Thank you kindly for blessing me with a banger worthy of making money to.  Lyrics: Declaime  Haha this is what it is  And you what it ain't  Going hard in the paint  Going places where most can't Not a saint, def

Hilltop Hoods - I love it ft. Sia

Yet another great song by the Hilltop Hoods of Australia. These guys demonstrate the art of hard work and sacrifice in order to achieve their goals. This is a tribute to their passion and undying love to the culture of hip-hop. If you're like me, a hip-hop junkie, and you haven't gotten on board with the scene down under you're seriously putting a dent in your rotation list. Listen to this track because "I love it!" Lyrics: Hilltop Hoods - I love it ft. Sia Verse 1: SUFFA I’m wondering where the day went, The clouds have me shrouded in grey but, I’m still out pounding the pavement, word, Drowning the hurt by pounding rounds in brown paper, Founded a label now I’m drowning paperwork, But now the crew I’m down with found an escape from work, And I love it ‘cause that what your hard work gets you, My heart bursts through my chest I’m rescued, So forget what the rest do, I’m blessed to do it with two of who are the best to do it, Do I love it? PRESSURE Look at our goa

Kendrick Lamar - Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst

Mighty Mos Def said it best, "Why does one straw break the camels back? Here's the secret, the million other straws underneath it." In the culture of Hip-Hop there is a paradigm shift going down. While Lil Wayne experiences seizures (probably from excessive codeine usage) and Nicky Minaj trots around like a trollop not fit for the slums of Kandahar, legitimate artists are emerging. They're shining lights on the fact that excessive materialism, drug use, violence, persecution, and sexism are not productive parts of society. Emcees are getting features on their albums from influential people like Dr. Cornell West (Brother Ali) and Maya Angelou (Kendrick Lamar). They're are openly rapping about the disgusting hate towards homosexuality (Murs & Macklemore). Even the catholic church and their rampant cover up of pedophilia isn't safe (Lupe Fiasco). The cherry on this sundae is the fact that all these artists have recently topped the charts on iTunes.
