Da Savior

Ok, It's ya boy FDA back in da building just taking a few seconds to address some more things going down in this game. Now, for all those who read the previous blog and are continuing down the murky path of this one, allow me to tell you: THE VIEWS AND OPINIONS EXPRESSED ARE MINE, AND MINE ALONE! WHETHER YOU AGREE OR DISAGREE IS SOLELY UP TO YOU, AND IS YOUR SOLEMN RIGHT AS A HUMAN BEING INHABITING THIS PLANET!

For some time now we as hip hop fans have been moving in the dark, searching for a beacon of light, a ray of hope, a sign or symbol that there would be a savior to emerge and put the bounce back into the mix of this boring cookie cutter radio garbage. I love to listen to Jay-Z, I enjoy 50 Cent and G-Unit, I like Jadakiss, Maino, Fabolos, Swizz, etc. the list goes on. I also like to bump underground music as well, now of course this may seem bias, but it is what it is...I listen to Immortal Technique, Poison Pen, Chino XL, Hasan Salaam, Akir, Diabolic, CV'S ( Ike & Swave ) J Arch, CF, and of course I bump my shit ( Da Circle ). I listen to Boot Camp Clik, Jedi Mind Tricks, Atmosphere, Donny Goines, etc. thank god for the ipod, cause even with a 6 cd changer its a bitch to keep switching cd's while doing 30 over the speed limit ducking highway 1.

I love to listen to music that has the prime elements covered...dope beat, dope hook, dope lyrics ( barz ), and real life subject matter! I find that it is harder to connect with the new generation of music because of how distant we have become as a whole. as I am relating to you folks this is the way of the world online everything. Its a blessing and a curse. With the world literally at your finger tips instead of actually dealing with real life and real time experience more and more people are living their lives in cyberspace and not in the real world. This makes it hard to believe these guys who rhyme about things in the streets, when they have such a large online presence. back in the days of street buzz if you wanted to be hot in the streets you had to be seen and heard in the streets.

I don't think that the next champion of real hip hop has to have his or her resume read, been knocked, been locked, been shot, sold drugs, robbed, and have three bodies.
I expect them to be true to their craft and have the ability to engage the masses on a higher level than just explaining how frivolous they are now that they have made a few coins rapping. In times of global recession, bail outs, bankruptcy, foreclosure, unemployment, poor health care, and education, it is hard to relate as a regular person living a serf like existence to lavish lifestyles of hip hop elites.
