Dej Loaf Flops With New Mixtape

-
Soooo I would like to start off with saying that Dej Loaf is a very attractive woman. The cover art for her new mixtape All Jokes Aside really shows Dej's sexy feminine side that draws you into listening to the tape. Now I do question as of why she chose a mixtape cover to be half naked on over an album, but hey that's a besides the point of this review. As for the mixtape, well Dej this is complete trash. Possibly one of the worse mixtapes I've heard in the past 3 years.

Here's why:
  1. First of all the songs are repetitive as hell, and yes this would've been a good thing if they were good songs but they weren’t.
  2. Second, the intro is awful and doesn't grab your attention. Intros are created to sustain the audience’s attention, making them desire to continue to listen to the rest of the music. This intro does the complete opposite.
  3. Third, where are the hooks? Seriously how do you have an entire project without at least one catchy hook? I forced myself through the mixtape and there's not one song that I can remember.

Another thing that I dislike about this tape is how her image on the cover doesn't match the songs or lyrics. Dej Loaf is presenting a sexy look while rapping about family and guns. What? This is confusing to how she would like to be perceived by her fans, and I think her management team should look heavy into completely developing her image. Everything is just all over the place with this tape and nothing mixes. The most memorable aspect of All Jokes Aside was the return of Silkk the Shocker, 90s early 2000s New Orleans rapper. The best song on the tape is "I'm Gon Win" produced by Sonny Digital. Dej Loaf has yet to truly capitalize off of her previous successful singles and this tape will do more damage than good. Keep growing, recording, writing and grinding Dej, because this won't cut it. In order to recover from this tragedy, Dej has to make another major hit or have a strong feature from a very established artist, simple.

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...
