Hello and welcome to hip-hop weekly; this week is a pretty
interesting one for me. Not only have I enjoyed and looked forward to a lot of
new music that’s coming out, but I also read an article that really pertains to
some of my personal views and perception of the “game” and how it is today. It’s
a frequently talked about thing, and if you’re a true fan you most likely have
an opinion on the matter. I would love to hear those, but first allow me to
state mine.
Hip-hop is a genre unlike any other; the genre has roots in
so many other genres’, so its sound is virtually infinite with possibilities.
However, sometimes music becomes a little to manufactured and mathematical. Much rather; music is an extension of the soul in my humble opinion and I love to
hear raw, unique and innovative flows and lyrics. When a song does well, its
pretty apparent that artists will try and capture the same kind of sound to
produce the same kind of results and a lot of times the songs sound the same.
This is completely because music is an industry, they have to work with what
does well and ride trends but I think it is important to push the envelope with
this genre and support artists that do just that. I don’t think hip-hop is any
real trouble, as long as the right artists get the proper support to produce
new and more innovative music. Big up’s to trend setters, in that spirit, here
are my 3 songs of the week.
1.
The motion- Drake
2.
Nothin’ but a party- Zapp and Roger
3.
Stronger- Kanye West
