Diggy feat. Lupe Fiasco and Pharrell
Lupe,
It's good to hear you on a Pharrell produced song as always but I'm dismayed to see it as a feature for Diggy Simmons. As people await your album, you have had public battles with your label and a spirited debate with a seemingly irate ex-producer. Yet, amidst all this, this song surfaces. Please, just drop an album with Pharrell or an album period and everything will be okay. This song is great until Diggy laughably says he feels like Big Meech. I teach 3.5 GPA having 16 year-olds who think they're Big Meech, thus I don't want to hear it from another 16 year-old when I leave the classroom and enter my car. Stop doing features and just drop your album.
Peace and Blessings,
Free

Kendrick Lamar feat. Javonte - Uncle Bobby and Jason Keaton
I've been waiting for a song that connects the personal experiences of Black men entrapped in the prison system with the larger social practices that perpetuates that entrapment. The beauty of the this song lies in his approach; pure honesty. The way he depicts the decisions his family members made yet realizes and comes to an understanding of the structures that disproportionately place Black men in jail personifies the complex duality of analyzing crime. The national dialogue regarding crime is consistently the predator frame that alleviates collective responsibility but Lamar obviously understands that the structural impediments are dire and a consciousness of these impediments must steer our actions and decisions with greater importance so no one ever enters those prison walls.
Below is an American Gangster episode on J. Edgar Hoover. Educate yourself in order to act against generations of injustices and guide those susceptible of sacrificing their purpose.
JAY SMOOTH!
A few days ago I said that I didn't care for lyrics, I lied. Nothing is more satisfying when a rapper does a beat justice. There is a reason people view Jay Electronica as the second coming of Christ because we have been void of lyrics for so long. Rappers have become producers in the sense that they worry about the feeling/vibe of the song rather than the content.
BTW, Jay Smooth should do panels or something.Share
