His lyrics, along with his musical taste for funk and soul, make for some pretty deep and thought-provoking songs. If you haven’t heard of Kendrick Lamar, this kid from Compton is being hailed as one of the greatest rap artists of our generation. "The Art of Peer Pressure" by Kendrick Lamar (2012) Yet he also understands that one must be ready before being a parent. On one hand, he feels as though he has taken away someone’s soul because he was reckless.
It’s a very emotional and well written piece on his regrets, and desires, of starting a family. This song is an open letter from Common to his unborn son and at-the-time girlfriend. The guest verses by Vic Mensa and Twista are some of my favorite features in Chance’s music. This song is all about reminiscing back to one’s youth and remembering the little things that made up your childhood. "Cocoa Butter Kisses" by Chance the Rapper (2013)Ĭhance the Rapper is known for the uplifting vibe his music creates for the audience. It gives it a much sadder tone, especially because 2pac had been killed 6 years prior to Nas’ cover. There are older versions of this song, but the reason I picked this one out for new hip hop audiences was because of the acoustic beat. I really like this song because it shows the soft side of the man that created the term “thug life” through his music. Great storytelling and good music production will have you thinking about Millie for some time.Ģpac is one of the greatest rappers to ever live, being called the King of Rap/Hip Hop. Then there is the public’s view, or knowledge, of the situation. On one hand, you have the narrator who knows what’s happening to Millie at home. His slow, old-school style flow combined with the depressing story of an abuse victim is very unique. The story of Millie is pretty dark, so don’t let the title or De La Soul’s voice fool you. "Millie Pulled a Pistol on Santa" by De La Soul (1991) In this piece, Ghostface talks about growing up poor and the struggles his mom went through to raise him. Blige singing the chorus, you get a great song. His flow and storytelling is some of the best in Wu Tang and combining that with Mary J. Ghostface Killah is part of the Wu Tang Clan, and is one of the few artists from the rap group that made it on his own. No pun intended."All That I Got is You" by Ghostface Killah (1996) However, Perico has found a sound and his niche, which is a key step to music that a lot of artists have yet to master. I feel like the lyrical content could use some work. Delivering lyrics that seamlessly give a bird’s eye view of what Crippin’ is really about. With his hair in rollers, dude looks like he’s straight out of the Eazy-E era. The album cover symbolizes the “C” life, as only Cali can do. got me thinking dude might be a monster feature artist. (Hint, hint) I also peeped out an AD record “ Crip Lives Matter,” which featured Sorry Jaynari and G Perico. I think Perico might have a dope ass story record in him that I look forward to hearing. The title track is a depiction of Cali life through the eyes of the B’s n C’s. It sounds as if his producer Westside Webb found a long lost plugin.
#Gangsta rap made me do it vine free
If my ears serve me correctly, the synths on the record are inspired by an early DJ Quik/Suga Free production. The LA rapper starts off strong with “Power” and “All Blue.” First off, the intro to “Power” is crazy. If I had to choose, my top records would be the openers. At first, I couldn’t identify a distinct separation from the typical West Coast sound.Īfter listening to a few times, I heard the quality in his recordings accompanied by the quality of his videos. I got a chance to skim through the thirteen-track album which had guest appearances by Sonny Digital and Polyester. As soon as I heard the single “Right Now,” from his most recent project All Blue, I couldn’t help but feel like I was back in LA.
If you were wondering, G Perico makes classic West Coast Gangsta Rap music.
