Music

Artists you should listen to: Hip hop

I’ll be the first to admit, I’m not the biggest fan of “urban” music. However,  I definitely know the difference between substantial hip hop and complete bullshit. Soulja Bhoy? Are you fucking kidding me?

Even as one of the only alternative brown kids growing up in the area of Malvern; widely considered a suburban ghetto, I was still able to find light in the sea of bling that began to flood the airwaves in the late 90’s.

This shit right here? This is real Hip hop.

About The Author

Ahoy hoy! You’ve never heard of me. That’s OK. I’ve never heard of you either. I'm an escapist and kind of anti-social. Solitude, video games, reading and writing is how I spend most days. I know what you're thinking, "this chick is about as interesting as Virtual Sea Monkeys." Like I said, I'm an escapist, you should see the shit going on inside my head. ;)

    Great list. I was gonna add Camp Lo as well, but you’ve got that covered well enough with Digable.

  2. THANK YOU. I don’t know how people can even put hip hop and whatver the fuck this new music is, in the same category!! 
    You should add Gangstarr, Das EFX, Artifacts, Group Home, Edo G, Pete Rock, Grand Puba, the pharcyde, and the list goes on!!!! <3
