Drake Legends 


Drake dropped an unexpected mixtape, how interesting because I recently was talking to a friend saying that "Drake have been ghost for a minute." So, I guess we shared telepathy, Drake. As for the mixtape of course there are great songs and the beats are hard as hell, but Drake I wish you would go back to the bars. Drake As for my rating I give it 8 out of 10. Drake talks subliminally about certain rappers and of course the females in his life. Drake also expresses his current situation and feelings about being the leader in the music industry, the ups and downs. My favorite song on the tape is 6pm in New York, and that doesn't surprise me. Drake proved in this song that he's choosing this new style, because in 6pm he showed the old Drake. Also addressing the problems with label mate Tyga, with that dope beat and flow, is what makes this song my favorite. Any time Drake writes a song with a time and a city on it, fans already know that the song will be one to remember. My all time favorite is still 9am in Dallas, that's forever a classic. Drake is a solidified legend, but I just want to hear the metaphors, the entendres, the A1 similes etc... "The lack of effort got me rapping different" Drake himself knows that he's not putting out his best work, as I quote those very words from NWTS. 

There were debates if this was in fact an album, but Drake solidified "if you're reading this," as a mixtape via twitter. The culture and hip hop genre is shifting and I am sure Drake not only knows this, but as one of the causes of the development. It’s official that this is only the beginning of the Toronto era. With all of the ongoing controversy inside of the Cash Money label, fans like myself, question if this mixtape is the last project released under the Young Money/Cash Money label. However Drake is his own verb and genre. This gives fans, like myself anticipation for the album 6 God.  

(Updated) After further review of the Drake's "if you're read this it’s too late," I still believe Drake could be more lyrical. However Drake song writing skills are the Picasso of hip hop songs still. The way songs like Legends are organized to express his growth. Drake's mixtape is quite the perfect balance of tempo for the beginning and ending of a new season. I can foresee the change in this era soon to come. 

Lyrically the order is
5am in Toronto > 6 pm in New York > 9 am in Dallas

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
