Fred The Godson is a lyrical rapper. Kendrick Lamar is a revolutionary. He is the next great. I feel you if you on Fred if you were simply showcasing wordplay--If you're truly hip to Kendrick Lamar, you know there is no comparison. Download that tape I told you if you haven't already and let me know if you want more fire. My email is on my profile. Stay up brotha.

OK.
OK.
That's not bad.
But he can't fuck the Godson.

"All the macs in the world can't save your life ... Steve Jobs."
There is more meaning in that one lyric then the entire works of Langston Hughes.
We have different definitions of poetry, but instead of trying to twist you to mine I'll work within your guidelines-- maximum abbreviation, with minimum loss of meaning:
"I'm tryina feel the vibe of Mona Lisa studying art... now paint that picture."
I'll see you that one, and raise you another:
"Fuck a funeral, just make sure you pay my music respect, NIGGA."
Btw, you don't have to sell hip-hop over traditional forms of expression to me. Hip-hop is my fourth language.
Agueybana, i'm not up on Kendrick Lamar like that, but I will say he's gotta get up pretty damn early to fuck with Godson. I'ma peep him out though, see what's he's about. In the meanwhile:
Chasin' a dream, hard to chill with bone in heel I got a couple breaks waitin' for the bones to heel, so now I'm blessed I used to use the streets now it's MTV, fifty views a week.

Cover straight stuntin', i'm gunnin' for the XL, belly of the beast new face of the X well three straight singles, all of them heaters they call me for a record, three for the feature I got em on speaker, everything wireless Labels call me up for a meeting i ain't signin' shit unless it's a million forget about the rest the best is in the building from unsigned hype to Godson shine bright this my dream baby, Christina i'm nice. Fred, Dreams
I see you're approaching this thing from a content level. I like conscious hip hop too, dead prez is my favorite group but most conscious is way different from best poet. Poetry is about putting words together, creating vocal memes that explode in people's cortexes. And Fred the God does this like no other.
Oh, and throwing my hat in the ring, neither one of these cats is fuckin' with Joe Budden. Just sayin'. Sober up Downfall Aftermath
Doccccc!!!!! Joe Budden has been my go to lyricist since I first heard 10 minutes back in 2003. I see your hip to his more recent tracks. Are you hip to any of the following:

I do know about Saigon. He came at my Joey's neck back in the day--I never really paid him too much attention except for this track called "Pain in my Life" from like 2002. I'ma gonna check out your tracks. I could never get sick of recommendations for new hip-hop artists. I return the favor with BIG K.R.I.T. You heard of this:
Yeah, I remember him and Joe beefing too. I was like damn, why it had to be two of my top favorites.
But they squashed all that tho, I think they was even talking about doing a track together.
Lately I think Sai's lost the fire for doing the music but his old shit is still crack.
Peep Warning Shots one of his earlier mixtapes that I think would've been 5 mic album quality if he'd released it as an LP. I've been hearing things about Big K.R.I.T. I'ma have to check those out.
Kendrick Lamar is the greatest living poet. Get hip.

A'ite, the tracklist is still actin' janky (it does that a lot with older tapes) so you can't preview them but trust it's worth a download.
ReplyDeleteProps, mane, i'm definitely feeling that KRIT. He's country as hell but still lyrical. Think I found a new artist to follow. Good lookin' out.
ReplyDeleteOh no doubt, Doc. Warning shots is downloading as we speak. I trust your taste.
