Underground vs Mainstream


In the music world there are two sides of the coin if you will. Mainstream Hip Hop and Underground Hip Hop. The mainstream these days consists of people like Gucci Mane, Waka Flocka, Nicki Minaj etc. Pretty much anybody that you hear on the radio is what you would call "Mainstream". Underground Hip Hop usually consists of people who are more lyrical and heartfelt. People such as your Lupe or Charles Hamilton Blu etc. Mainstreamers tend to make songs that make you feel good, but lack depth or relatability. I mean really, how many of us can really say we have money to blow? *That was not a shot at Drake* IT'S A RECESSIONNNNNNNNNNNN!


I am not saying mainstream music is bad, but I personally need depth in the music that I listen to. That is why I love the All City Chess Club! They all bring some thought to the table you know? I don't want to just knod my head when listening to a song(in less I am in that mood), I need something to change my perspective on life you know! Guys like Lupe have changed the way I see things. I don't think I would have gotten that from say a Gucci Mane. When I feel depressed about this life I can just throw on "This Perfect Life" from Charles Hamilton, and I feel like he gets it, and that makes it a little better. Music, in my opinion, is supposed to help you get through situations or enhance the mood... I don't feel that deeper connection with everybody that I listen to. When lyrics have depth it feels like you are having a conversation with that person you know?


A prime example of this would be Lil Wayne. Rememeber the Carter II days? The days when he was big on mixtapes etc. Listen to his lyrics back then... He wasn't Nas, I'm not saying that but to me at least he was more heartfelt and real. He showed much more skill. Now that megastar mainstream buzz has caught up to him, his music has changed to suit his wider audience.


In conclusion, there is nothing wrong with the radio music of today, but at some point I KNOW more people will thirst after something deeper, and they will turn to the All City Chess Club for help.



When Life Happens Don't Forget to Breathe,

“Gotta keep it coming,” he told MTV News. “People’s Instinctive, we knocked down the door. Low End Theory, we knocked it off the hinges. And we just had to skyrocket after that. I don’t think we thought about it that much; we just decided to be ourselves and have fun with it. But I remember us saying to each other, ‘Let’s not make this a conceptual album — let’s just have fun. Rhyme over these beats and do what we do.’ But one important thing that we always had in mind was how the album would be sequenced, and I think that’s what really made the album banging.” (via MTV)

unkle-cover.png

Here is a new track by Lupe Fiasco x UNKLE called The Runaway: Lupe's Revenge. The track premiered just moments ago on Zane Lowe's radio station here's the rip below.


UPDATE**  Lyrics below:

[Verse One]

Physically here, mentally im up there somewhere
And i been thinking bout maybe coming down and hanging round on the ground some year
But this aint the one (NO)
Having too much fun way up here on the Sun yo
They should really sell my CD's at the gun show
A two-disk set is like Russian Roulette
Afghanistan key-note
If you wana win then come in my casino
Pull up in a Porsche
Pull off in a Dino
Conviction on the stitching im delivering the key-note
RIDES...
They shine too
Kiwi I can see me in reflections from my fine shoes
I write with the same techniques they use to fine jewels
Mine my own mind until i find something that rhymes cool
Then hit James on line two tell him to send a track for me to rhyme to
A setting to attach all of the shine to
A dynamite I can never Suwoski or rhyme you POW!!!

[Verse Two]

Perfect, Big Bang Flow
Spitting out Uni(Verses) my old metaphors went off and join the circus
They currently on tour on the planet of the word-smiths
You can rally round me like I'm Sturgis
But when you go back of where you came from don't tell nobody that you ever heard this
Or i might bless you with my curses (Thinner)
You should change your attitude the Hannibal thats having your for dinner
Cannibalistic urges eating up this nonsense regurgitating purpose (Inner)
World done perfect (In My)
Mind so spotless like they spic and span and mopped it
Its just clear it don't mean that they washed it
Put it together like bolt swing nuts and washers
We beefin like Big Macs and Whoppers
At each others throats like butterfly collars
Or Siamese twins joined at the Medulla Oblongata
In a tuxedo
Going to the opera
Dynamite mind only 'C' 'Z' about me is on my initials
Zula Chaka POW!!!

[Verse 3]

You protect it, you cherish and caress it
Your precious little ethicless method
Been tryna take me off of my perspective
But I respect it
But I still give you F's for effort
And the A's for me
Extra Credit
How I deflected, all praises be
To the most higher I admire
Never will I abide by your..
Cause your liar and your not my Sire
Can't buy me I just ride by ya
And I won't buy, Bye Ya
I'll buy your lighter and set it on FIRE!!!!

Lupe Fiasco - Go To Sleep (Dirty/CDQ)


I know some of ya'll been waiting for this for a while now so here is Lupe Fiasco's Go To Sleep, explicit version. Enjoy.


 
  

Drake’s Letter To Aaliyah

 

We'll always remember the beauty and virtue that Aaliyah eluded throughout her music career. Drake, the stand up type guy he is, speaks for all of us as he writes a letter to one of the greats, RIP Aaliyah.



Dear Dana,
 
I’ve never lost a parent, a friend, or a lover but I will never forget this day for the rest of my life. I remember getting the news that you had passed and it connected with my heart like a clean shot from Muhammad Ali. I was crushed. Not only was I one of your biggest fans but I was truly in love with you. I loved the way you carried yourself, the way you dressed, the confidence with which you addressed passion and relationships in your music. I said to myself that even if we never met, I wanted a woman in my life just like you. I am pained that we will never get to connect now that music ended up being my career path. But you should know, we all listen to you everyday and we remain inspired and moved by all that you’ve given the world. I hope I make the right life choices so I can end up in heaven where I know you rest your head. I’ll continue to make music in your honor until the day we finally meet. Dinner’s on me!

Love you always and forever,
Drake
