Jay-Z is back, welcoming new twins and an album

-
In the midst of welcoming home two little ones, HOV managed to strike a deal with sprint and create a new album. Talk about a man that never sleeps, Jay-Z is once again expanding his generational influence. The sporadic announcement of his name change alongside introducing the new album 4:44, instantly went viral. This is a win-win situation for the Carters, because regardless of the outcome they've maintained popularity for over 2 decades, with an increasing net worth. Audiences all over the world are awaiting to hear 4:44, and even more people are awaiting for them to reveal the names and genders for their newborn twins.


Similar to the deal with T-Mobile, back in 2012 when Jay-Z released Magna Carter Holy Grail, only Sprint customers will have free access to the album. Only this time Jay-Z will be using his own streaming platform "Tidal," meaning that if you're not a Sprint customer you'll have to pay for the Tidal app in order to listen to the album. I'm unsure if there will be physical copies of the album, but as Jay-Z fan who is currently subscribed to apple, it will suck if there's not any. Fans all over the globe have already begun making the switch to Sprint, I've seen Instagram post of people preparing to switch. So congrats HOV you've done it again!

As for the music, I'm uninterested in hearing any unorthodox scenario that he's dealt with during poverty, because after over 20 years of success, I just simply cannot relate. What I would like to hear out of this album is just classic good music. Jay-Z needs to rap about problems I've yet to see and things that have or hasn't changed, but we don't realize, or your current personal life. I don't want to hear Jay-Z attempt to stay youthful, just classic hip hop on modern instrumentals. 4:44 will be Jay-Z's 13th solo album, and my predictions are that it will go platinum as the others did, but this album is definitely highly anticipated.

    Jay Z is the most overrated rapper in the history of rap. He doesn't even rap, he just simply talks on a beat. Just like 21 savage in my opinion

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. During th...
