Since the conception of hip-hop emerged from the cracks of the concrete pavements of Bronx, NYC, the language, dance, fashion, and art that made up the music has evolved substantially within the last three decades.
Is it for the better or worse? Is your local radio station still playing you hip-hop or are they just slapping that badge to a song for the hell of calling it music?
Rapper, Redman partied at Listen Vision Recording Studios Hip-Hop Shop, on Georgia Avenue, NW, D.C. on May 4, promoting his and Methodman’s new album “Blackout! 2,” set to release on May 19.
The night promised the perseverance of the art and movement that is the hip-hop culture because that’s what it was all about. There were no flashy lights, rented bling, or hired super-models to distract you from the addiction that Methodman and Redman have been rolling as a sequel to their 1999 classic “Blackout.”
The album has songs like “A-Yo,” featuring Suakrates, which carries a steady beat with a swagger that is old-school but never outdated; and dedicated to woman, doing it all with style, is a slow jam called “Miss International.”
Damn, we were so lucky rappers like Red and Meth are still doing their thing and keeping it real with lyrics that say and mean something, despite some of the trash Youtube is infesting this generation with; like _____ (you fill in the blank).
I'm tired of these new "rappers" showing off ice, cars, mansions, calling one repetative chorus a song and cashing in on ignorance.
Give me substance, inspire me, give me "Blackout! 2"
