What A Time To Be ALive


"What a time to be alive" is the title of Drake's & Future's collaborative project, that Drake recently confirmed via Instagram. The two rappers have been hinting about the collaboration over the past week via social medial, and like everyone else we've been keeping our eye out. 
. Drake recently shared the artwork for the project on Instagram, captioning it "WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE” will be available at 8pm EST, Sunday on ITunes. So stay tuned for the review!

The internet went crazy after the release of What a Time to Be Alive, Drake and Future collaboration project. After thoroughly listening to the new Drake & Future album What a Time to Be Alive, I've concluded that this is the best club banger album of the year. Yes, I agree with the audience. Now comparing What a Time to be Alive to Watch The Throne is a far stretch, but I will say Future and Drake delivered on their expectations. This is the stripper and drugs anthem! As for all of the conscious lyric listening people like myself, this is not the album for you, nor should you expect it to be. What A Time To Be Alive gives fans what they want for the clubs and banging car rides, like turn all the way up for this album, songs like; Diamonds Dancing, JumpMan, and Big Rings is what the fans yearn for. These songs also seem to be the fan favorites. Of course Drake doesn't leave his true comeback season fans hanging as he ends the tape with my personal favorite 30 For 30 Freestyle. 

 This album stirred up a lot of reaction (of course) with Future taking shots at both Ciara and Meek Mill saying "you're only a battle rapper," and Drake pouring out his soul about the Young Money "family" that has split. Artist Kid Cudi tweeted shortly after the release of the album "people are so comfortable with mediocre," and to some extent I agree. There were flaws in the tape, for one the introduction could've been an actual intro. Digital Dash sounds like just another song on the album, when an intro in my perspective should be in dept and describe what it is your about to listen to and why, not just another skip-able song. The songs are songs that wouldn't have taken much time to produce and could've been more in dept, but it's Future & Drake so of course you're getting nothing but radio hits. So with that being said they delivered the hits as they should and congrats 9 out of 10.

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. During th...

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...
