The Under Dog.
We all love the underdog.
Beneath the layers of Hip Hop's.. "lean wit it rock wit it's", "stanky legs", "im gettin money niggas" & reverse psychology of the startling "HIP HOP IS DEAD epiphany/revelation "......lies the underground layer...the under dogs of hip hop who lay low & do they own damn thang...we call them... THE UNDERGROUND RAPPERS. I can say i listen to main stream, definitely in tuned with it all. But in all the madness i lost my underground sense of music, where suprisingly, the real talent lies.
Recently i've been payin more attention to Joe Budden..whose been almost translucent in main streams eyes. But lemme tell ya'll, he is as solid as can be. Im talkin about HAWRD. His new album, YES ALBUM, not mixtape but ALBUM just dropped on February 24th titled "PADDED ROOM" & this honestly made me realize how dumb the lyrics we listen to on the radio everyday have become. This man really is talented in every sense of the word. He's an incredible story teller & concept lyricist. Not rapper, but LYRICIST.

*SONGS TO LOOK OUT FOR*:
-> Title: In My Sleep
-> Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrKTUWSDc4g
-> Comments: A mind with an incredible imagination who wouldnt mind a quick journey thru a crazy dream for 4 minutes & 20 seconds would highly enjoy this..very ill song. You Lupe' fans are gonna love this one =0)
-> Title: The Future feat. The Game
-> Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWTSSpI8hV0
-> Comments: Sounds like a track Timbaland & The Dream would do. The song is an ode to the women by their side. Def. the track to go commercial off the album. This is the song i'd hold off until the summer & let the windows down & let the system go boom while the sun just shiiiiines. PERSONAL FAV OF MINE =0)
-> Title: Pray For Me
-> Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNxcQrsqBpQ
-> Comments: This is the most personal song i've heard in a long time. He goes in on this one as we the listeners listen in on a one on one convo he's having with the big guy upstairs as he's asking for redemption but yet finding ways to justify all his wrongs with his scorned,heartfelt, yet harsh excuses. You cant be mad at him for bein too real on this one.
*SUPPORT..SUPPORT..SUPPORT..SUPPORT..SUPPORT..SUPPORT*
P.S. Check out his youtube show on joebuddentv.com...its HILARIOUS!..here's a lil sumthin sumthin ..
Until next time my beautiful people...im outie 5 thou!
