Music Is My Drug

Jay-Z, T.I., Kanye, Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy, how can one possibly say “Hip-Hop” is dead. Honestly Hip-Hop has just evolved, but then again it always has its nothing new. I agree with T.I. on the song “Swagger Like Us” he says “You go see Weezy for the wordplay, Jeezy for the birdplay and me controversy” and of course Jay-z who is the king of Hip-Hop what else do you want. The game is well rounded right now you have everything from dance music to real shit you can feel. There is a song for everything for every mood every situation. People wonder why rappers who don’t rap about much have a fan base and its simply because people who are in the same position as them identify with them and feel their music. That is all Hip-Hop has been! Sometimes I just sit back and really try and listen and break down the lyrics of the artists and a lot of artists today still have some deep thoughts you just have to be able to break it down. I can go back to the past and find music that is equally fulfilling. Hip-Hop is a release for me to hear the stories these people have to tell to be able to just say damn I know what it is like to be in that situation. I could listen to Jay-Z all day!!!! But I like to hear new artists too everyone is always looking for the next big thing. I mean you figure we know Wayne is ill (but he may be playing himself out), Kanye gives you the shit you can just feel it is normally deep and different. But now you have hot new artist like Drake (young money) but I’m sure many of you probably heard the song “I Love College” by Asher Roth, and to college kids that song is the shit because we identify with that. But no Asher Roth can really rap I heard him on “Change Gon Come” which also features Charles Hamilton and B.O.B its hot. So there are definitely great things to look forward to in the music world.
