Cassidy vs. Meek Mill battle is a no go.

-

We were all expecting it. We all were anticipating it. We were all ready to see a freestyle battle showdown between Meek Mill and legendary freestyle battler Cassidy. Well...guess what. It's not happening. Surprise, surprise. We all knew that this battle was too good to be true. Meek Mill makes a living off of yelling at us via studio microphone now. He has no time for freestyle battling. Well, his explanation was a bit more in depth.

Oh you didn't know? Meek Mill, once upon a time had dirty braids to the point where they looked like a TV censorship. (Look above for proof). During that time period, Meek was bodying folks on the freestyle battles. He is not to be slept on when it comes to battling. Could he give The Hustla a challenge? I'll let you be the judge of that.

Ok, so maybe Cassidy is a step (or a staircase) ahead of Meek, but I think that Meek could possibly give Cassidy a challenge. Meek did this for a living once upon a time. Also, don't act like you've seen more than one or two of Cassidy's battles. All you probably have heard is his casual freestlyes. Despite all of that, Cassidy is still a freestyle battle legend. He is known solely for his freestyling abilities--not his singles. Can you even name Cassidy's album off the top of your head? I would say, "I'll wait", but I still have to finish this blog post. Anywho, I know the hip-hop culture feels let down. I know I do. I'm praying to God that Loaded Lux comes out of the woodwork and challenges Cassidy. Now THAT would be a classic.

All in all, this battle would have conjoined two sub-cultures in hip-hop. It's unfortunate that it isn't going to happen. Despite the anticipation it generated, it could have brought the best of both worlds together for a showdown that would have went down in the books...possibly. Cassidy could have revitalized his career, and Meek Mill could have earned exponentially much more respect in both industries. Just imagine a successful mainstream rap artist still bodying people on the freestyle battlefield. The last one of those that we've had, hmmm....Eminem. My case is rested. I guess would rather watch Rick Ross' blood pressure do numbers than his music. Oh well. We can complain all we want, but it ain't happening. Let's just hope something better comes out of this. Until then...

Should Hip Hop Have Labels? Conscious VS Trap

Conscious VS Trap After Vince Staple tweet about not wanting to be placed in the conscious rap label last Wednesday evening, Hip Hop heads voiced their opinion on the sub labels of hip hop. I am highly offended by the term conscious rap don't associate me with that. — Vince Staples (@vincestaples) August 12, 2015 This brings me to talk about the topic. Should hip hop have sub genres? Hip Hop was founded on the fun of mixing together music with rhymes and developed into storytelling, word play, political power etc... The culture of hip hop will always include the elements of  DJs to turn the tables, a microphone to spit the bars, graffiti to paint the images, and the infinite break dancing. Introduced in the late 70's were hip hop pioneer groups like, the Sugar Hill Gang, who were the first hip hop group to enter into mainstream media with the classic anthem "Rappers Delight," which expressed pure fun, funkadelic beats, rhymes, and basic flow.

The Real Gods of Egypt

First and foremost the fact that the entire lead cast with exception of Chadwick Boseman who plays Thoth, being of European Caucasian decent is asinine. It's a historic fact that the Gods of Egypt portrayed in this film were of African descent containing large amounts of melanin in their DNA. Simply meaning that the characters being portrayed were in real life are black. The original statues found in Egypt shows round noses, braided hair, and big lips; these are physical characteristics of black people Akhenaten "The civilization of Egypt and of Africa in general, is the most written about and least understood of all known subjects. This is not an accident or an error in misunderstandings the available information. Except for Egypt, African people have been programmed out of the respectable commentary of history. Europeans have claimed the non-African creation of Egypt in order to downgrade the position of African people in the world history. They have laid the founda
