I'm a 80's baby but I am 90's raised so now that I am older and have the pleasure in indulging in an old school lunch session on a radio station, please believe I go in. These classic jams were what had the 90's bbq's rocking and the Mid 80's b boys spinning. I am so glad these classics are still getting spins and I hope you guys enjoy my #TBT list of these classic songs.

Danger Music #THEFIELD

I saw a short film documentary on WSHH (WorldStarHipHop.com) a few weeks back entitled The Field: Chicago, a look at the relationship between the city’s rap scene and street violence epidemic. Okk!! Before I even dabble in this discussion of Chicago’s music scene, I first much say STOP whatever you are doing and check out this film. [The Field]. I have been paying close attention to Chicago rap for some time. I was first drawn there by two obvious reasons Kanye and Twista but as much as I love “Old” Kanye (Before he wasYezzus) and Twista is simply that a tongue twister of pure lyrical delights. Recent rappers and how they and the youth there tied into the violence arising from the Chicago inner city also caught my eye. After reading about the death of Chicago native rapper “Lil JOJO” and the rise of the “Almighty SO” I started to really pay attention to the music scene and the names being buzzed and generated from the area.Another one that caught my eye “Lil Mouse” is by far the best little trap rapper, that I've ever seen and even though I think it’s kind of sad how he can put together street life so good in his lyrics, his charisma is amazing and he be snappin for sure! I have also heard of Lil Durk and Lil Reese as well, but back to the documentary it shed a much needed light using a daily viewed platform like WSHH to help put a focus on the way the city is essentially in battle amongst youth and really how music and the artist that makes it affects the city. This was WSHH's directorial debut and my goodness they did a damn good job if you ask me. The “Chiraq” as they refer to it and please let me PAUSE for the cause and break down how this documentary was so beneficial. I love fashion, I love styling, I’m no master designer but I’m into that whole creativity with fabrics and textiles and being able to express those things through clothes and accessories.... Anyways, I love accessories and I saw a necklace that said “Chiraq” and I had always wondered what the hell is a “Chiraq” and I had never thought to look it up. Like the word “Thot” but that’s an entirely different story. To find out what Chiraq really was, it broke my heart to know that people are literally not even a block away from home and they are losing their life. Innocent bystanders are getting caught up in that lame game of Beef. Why we plotting on how to end the next man’s life. Don’t we all have Kid’s? Are we all not Black folk trying to make it in this crazy world? Crazy thing is we killing people we grew up with, we sending women who brought us in their homes when we had no homes to bury their child. I was not only enlightened further by the short Documentary but it gave insight in the minds of these teenagers and artist that have grown up in Chicago and have yet to fully leave. I was so sadden to see a few of the people that had been featured in the film hadn't survived long enough to see it completed but they explained that themselves in the film. I can remember a particular line from it being  "Niggas don't sell they gun, a nigga keep they gun, they know they gone need it." That line has stuck with me since viewing the film weeks ago. That was a sad and honest depiction of what is going on in a hood away from my hood but in reality its going on not just in Chicago it's going on everywhere. The only difference is Chicago death toll hit 500 in a months time versus how many murders my hood or the next hood may see in a month. I am so glad that WSHH took the time to shed light to the seriousness of the Chicago gang life and the artist that have endured their lives there. I don't want to say that " Drill Music" is the new gangsta rap but it's close enough on the spectrum for them both to be first cousins. I have featured a few videos from artist in that area and I hope if you have never heard of them that you check them out.

Reviewing Improvements

I have been getting a vast majority of artist submitting videos and mixtapes and often I am either lost for words and don't care too much for the music but I loved the visuals or the video is trash but the message was clear and I loved it. For me it's not always about what you offer visually. I see your dope visuals but can you spit? I sometimes feel as if I am letting down the emcee that might not have given me his best song but because the first one wasn't something I like I didn't respond or I don't give them the right feedback and that is my bad as I have been trying to figure out how to execute a some what "rating system" and believe me I had names for days but couldn't accurately depict what I wanted to accomplish by reviewing mixtapes and videos.It is more than having a catchy name to call what it is that I am doing when I receive music. I am aware that as artist you guys spend a lot of time perfecting the art and improving your artistry. I have done a few mixtape reviews and I am proud of the finished analysis but I am not only going to voice my opinion about the collective project but I will be giving ratings based off of the following criteria.

1. Lyrics
2. Instrumentals
3. Visual
4. Star Potential 
5. Overall Package 

     ie: Lyrics:4 Instrumental:5 Visual:4.5 Star Potential:4.7 Overall: 5

The scale will be based from 1-5 with 5 being the highest. The more 5's the more often you may grace the Top 10 and Top 5. I am a real sucker for music I love. It is in no way or form showing favoritism to particular artist nor will the repeated entry's be because someone's individual grind to be featured. I solely make  decision on who is featured and I have had moments where I wanted to feature the same artist from last week the following week because I simply enjoyed the work behind the mixtape or the work the artist does in general. I am appreciative of every artist that continues to submit music and I encourage you if you like constructive criticism and want to know my honest opinion to continue to send in your music. You never know if I will review your album, mixtape, or video. It is often not something you will know about until I post. This helps keep its unbiased. If for any reason you don't like your critique or review please submit a request via email for it to be removed.

The Who With The What #TMWFP Review

Well It's been almost a week since I did  a two post entry on ABR. In the midst of  him doing all of that with me, he dropped his mixtape The Man with Faux Pas and for those of you that's like "whoa whats  Fox Past" You're saying it wrong and you should go google it! I first would like to say If you are sleep on this artist you really should lay off the sleeping pills. For godsake I just presented him to you jerks on a silver platter. If you still want to act oblivious to his artisty you haven't checked out #TMWFP. He snapped, he made you think, and without saying it, he dared you to challenge him. It featured " Bruh Man" and " 5 Babies" Both being favorites of mine. It also featured six other dope tracks that showcased  Burnright's uncanny ability to tap dance on the pre frontal cortex of your brain. This was evident with his blunt content, his strong delivery and of course his beats. I don't know whether to call it a mixtape, an EP, or in his words an experiment since he is a Scientist ( I'm convinced). I enjoyed his take on what he likes to call  "Conscious Trap" It was definitely a medley of awakening punchlines and it's production set me the listener in a state of confusion because there was times I wanted to just hit a full Khloe Kardashian twerk but the lyric content wouldn't allow me. I wanted  to know what he was going to say next. I thoughtfully listened and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. I am never disappointed in his artistry and what he puts out. I send well wishes, continued motivation, and success to Alec Burnright and the entire CLPNation family. I have added links to listen and download #TMWFP as well as ABR Spotlight Review I did 6 days ago. Enjoy the goods and make sure you tell him this particular mu'fucka sent you!
