It's a shame I have to actually think in order to find artists or albums that challenge my mind. For the most part, at random points throughout the day I might be reminded of Common or Talib Kweli through something I read online and then I'll download one of their albums and embark on a journey through their music.

I'm stumbling across music with a message!

It gets boring, this constant flooding of recycled and repackaged music... What is creativity?

Don't get it twisted, I do listen to Wayne, Jeezy, T.I.P., Dipset, all that. But there's a certain point where the slick talk gets annoying. Maybe capitalism did fuck up Hip-Hop.



So... I'm digging in the crates.

[Verse 4 of "Get Em High": Common]
Get em high like noon, or the moon or room filled with smoke
A high filled with dope
Y'all assumed I was doomed, out of tune, but I still feel the notes
The real nigga quotes
Real rappers is hard to find, like a remote, control rap is not a
Used soup it still got life, that's why I abuse you who are not thugs
Rock clubs, it's like Tiger, Woods in the hood, to have my own reality show
Called Soul Survivor, I stole all liver, niggaz in you
You'se a bitch I got ones that are thicker than you
How could I ever let your words affect me, they say Hip-Hop is dead
I'm here to resurrect me, mosh is to sexy to even make songs like these
That's why the raw don't know your name, like Alicia Keys
To many featured emcees, and pro-ducers is popular
Twelve thousand spins, nobody got to coppin her
Album, how come, you the hot garbager
The years clear your image and snooped up
Label got you souped up, tellin you you sick
Man you a dick with a loose nut
Video hard to watch like Medusa
Even your club record need a booster
Chimped up, with a pimp cup, illiterate nigga
Read the infa, red across your head I'm bread king like Simba
Bolder then Denver, I ain't a Madd Rapper just a emcee with a temper
You dansing for money like honey, I did this my way
So when the industry crash, I survive like Kanye
Spittin through wires and fires, emcees retirin
Got yo hands up, get them motherfuckers higher then

If you know of quality music I can listen to feel free to leave a comment.
