9th Wonder New Mixtape

Black American Gangster

 
 Producer 9th Wonder decided to remix the classic Jay-Z album, American Gangster. Although I am a fan of the original and I do prefer the origin, 9th Wonder did a nice job putting his own spin on the classic album. This was a great way to start off the New Year. No We're not being bias on the blog, this is just a coincidence. Thanks 9th Wonder! Check It Out!

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...

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.

Kanye Misses the Mark With Facts

Not so happy New Years for the Yeezy Fans. Since Kanye West released an unexpected track titled "Facts" as the clock struck midnight, bringing us into the new year of 2016. The track seems like a parody of the Drake & Future song "Jumpman," because Ye borrows Drake flow and puts his own touch on the chorus, "Yeezy Yeezy Yeezy just jumped over Jumpman." Kanye of course boast about his wife Kim Kardashian with her Kimoji accomplishment, his Yeezy Adidas, and much more. I understand that this is Kanye's personality, but to take a perfectly good turn up song and make it into this is tragic. The song lacks creativity, real substance and just doesn't fit Kanye's natural sound. Kanye also takes some what seems like quick jabs at Bill Cosby, Steve Harvey, Nike and Drake (kinda), but that's debatable. As for the Bill Cosby comments, I think there are enough critics tearing up Bill Cosby, so why is it needed for Kanye to do so? As for if he...
