Shuffle Your Songs and Post the First 3 #30DayBlogChallenge

Day 20
My music shuffled 
  1. Jay Z & Kanye West - Murder to Excellence
    My initial thought was "Dag what happened to Kanye", how do you go from creating this great song to making Facts? Kanye has proven in No Parties that he still "got it" but Watch The Throne is and iconic legendary album. One of the best collaborative albums ever created. From the lyricism, to the beat, the album is pure golden, with not a single song that's worth skipping. The album not only addresses constant struggles that we as humans are fighting for, but also displays a story of the creation of man and where it currently stands.
  2. Frank Ocean - Thinking about youInstantly I thought “WHERE TF IS FRANK OCEAN"?!??! I've been waiting on a follow up album for Channel Orange since 2012. Frank has literally been absent from the music industry for about 5 years at this point. I feel mislead, deprived, and distraught from words. Thinking about you was the lead single off of Channel Orange but it's nowhere near the best song on the album. Without Frank Ocean Watch The Throne wouldn't have been as genius, he made such an important impact in a small time frame.
  3. Jay Z - LuciferThe Black Album is Jay Z's best album was my first thought. I love this album. Jay Z has embodies nothing but classic music but The Black Album takes me back to 2004, which was such a great year for music. My favorite albums released in 2004 were; College Dropout, The Beautiful Struggle, The Black Album, The New Danger, Encore, Urban Legend, Purple Haze, and Tha Carter, talk about a great year for hip hop. Lucifer being such a controversial song was produced by Kanye, and actually provides a message that is unexpected takes you off guard from the title.

    It's interesting how I shuffle my music daily, and usually it consist of a mixture of random people who have no correlation to one another, from All time low to Future. However today as I chose to write about the first 3 shuffles they all directly incorporates each other. With Frank Ocean being a major feature on Watch The Throne, that contained Jay Z & Kanye to a solo Jay Z song that was produced by Kanye lol. Anyone that knows me would think I planned this, but I didn't those were my first 3 songs shuffled and my thoughts to match. I'm looking forward in hearing Kanye's new album Waves, formally known as Swish this month.

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. During th...

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...
