It ain’t nuthin’ like Hip Hop music

I heard that song from a sample by Braille , but I don’t know where that sample comes from. I’ll probably do a little research to find out.

Hip Hop music, the good the bad.

That sounds like a title for a history of hip hop research paper. Hmmm. I slept for about an hour that one night I couldn’t sleep and started my first post. Bogus. I’m sweating a lot today. Maybe that’s too much information, but I don’t care. So, Hip Hop, let’s just say it’s the best. Well, it was anyway back in the day. Back in the day when groups like Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five recorded their historic song, “The Message.” . They had something to say, something about the social problems they faced in their neighborhoods and elsewhere.

Don’t push me cuz I’m close to the edge. I’m tryin’ not to lose my head. Ahaha ha ha. It’s like a jungle sometimes. It makes me wonder why I keep from goin’ under.

Frickin’ poetry is what that stuff is right there!! They probably didn’t even realize how powerful that statment was or still is today and how it can be applied to any situation you’re going through in life. Crazy stuff. It’s timeless. Even the beat behind the words sounds like it could have been recorded today and still be popular and groovy to dance too, man. That’s what I miss about music. I miss the time when people produced things they loved that had meaning and were memorable. WHAT HAPPENED?! How did we get here? Where is music going?

I’ll tell ya where it’s going. It’s going to video games, commercials and being downloaded and used illegally on Youtube and Limewire. Pity. I feel like music today is shanty, it lacks creativity and all sounds the same. I lied. Some of the music today is good stuff, but the rest is just empty words, trash. Maybe someone agrees with me out there. I know somebody does. I have to go pee. But I leave you with Ice Cube’s sample of  “The Message.”

Peace out.
