Cunninlynguists - Darkness

Searching for answers is like searching for Atlantis

Regardless of who you are or what you're capable of achieving there will be multiple points in your life where you will feel overwhelmed. You'll feel lost beyond belief and not even know how you got so far off track. When you look up and realize that you're in such a lost and dark place you may very well question everything in life. What's right may seem wrong, and you may want to shift your thought process in order to adjust to your new surroundings. When that happens sit down toss on some headphones and take a very deep breath. 

RELAX...remember who you are, remember where you came from, and more so than any of that remember what made you who you are today. What helped define you to get to where you are now? Why abandon that so readily? You'll be tempted along the way and stroll down the wrong path for a brief moment. It sucks and is something when you look back on with a clear mind you will regret, but there's a saying, "To error is human." Darkness surrounds all of us at times, but it's our job to pull ourselves from the muck. Lift yourself up shake off the bullshit and be you. Don't worry you're reading a blog post from someone who has been there before and guess what I made it out the other side. This song may help you realize that you and I are not the only ones to experience that same feeling.   


Lyrics: Cunninlynguists - Darkness

Searching' for answers is like searching' for Atlantis
I'm working poor and I'm just hurting for some chances
This school of a livings like prison on a campus
Show me the Monet, and the pixels in that canvas
Advance through my imagery, I view my evil deeds
When I went to Jack in Tennessee to erase memory
When I called on Mary J be my serenity
So I don't see that all my enemies resembled me
I'm feeling faceless heading' for a bitter state
I'm trying to place but my heart ain't even in the race
I've came far enough that turning' back is time wasted
Imprisoned by fear, I don't need no iron bracelets
What's my fate, how can I escape my heart
Running blind, an open mind could break the stark
A major spark might just make a star in this....

[Verse 2 - Natti]

Way under in slumber is my true self shown
A glass house cracked from a few stones thrown
Pane in the windows of a once happy home
I’m a Chesire Cat laughin’ at the caged birds' song
A caterpillar shroomin usin’ fumes from my bong
To cloud a land wondering what fuels what is wrong
Lust in my loins, vengeance in my heart
Thrust from my groin that could populate an Ark
Thoughts in my mind only popular in dark
I can’t let come to light so I might suffocate the spark
That might just spark the fuse that blows my views of self apart
Opinions of my health my self and wealth go off the chart
My struggle to keep balance ain’t a challenge it’s an art
Outside my sleep is silent ‘cause inside the war is fought
Every night, as I fade to the...

[Outro - Anna Wise]

Don’t give me that bullshit
Don’t give me that bullshit
Don’t let it take over you
Don’t let it take over you
Don’t give me that bullshit
Don’t give me that bullshit
Don’t let it take over you
Don’t let it take over you

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.
