Dumb It Down
I feel hip hop less and less these days, but here are a couple of tracks that make me click back to the start as soon as the song is over. First off, I’ve talked about Lupe Fiasco before, but dude is the new Kanye for real. Just like Kanye supposedly surpassed Jay-Z after Jay mentored him, Lupe was Kanye’s protege and is now posed to out shine him (remember that CRS track I posted?). Check his rhymes, they are too sick. ‘Riveting is rosy, pockets full of posies’? Did he just say that? Yep. Keep an eye on this one.
The Nas track is just fire as well but I always forget that these days, they come one at a time. No more Illmatics, just Stillmatics that come in white label form and happen like a solstice. Oh well, I’ll take them where I can get ‘em. God’s son flips some Nipsey Russell, and comes up with a track about his start in the game. Watch how the beat drops too, out of nowhere and he just jumps in. Nice.
