Favorite Mcs

Yo, I've been thinking a lot about who my favorite musicians truly are. Over the last while my thoughts and concept of what good music is has changed. In my eyes a good artist can write a song that inspires you, makes you think twice about your first impression on the song. The list I am putting below have written songs that have changed my concept of life and reality. The pure concept of ideology.
They are;
2pac
Immortal Technique
KiD CuDi
Eminem
Bob Marley
Lupe Fiasco

(I will make a top 6 starting at my favorite to my least.)

Some leave more of an impression on me then others, though each one raps about something I can learn from or I take interest to, or even relate to, for the upcoming post I will put and artist and go into detail. Thanks for viewing
Peace Sebastian Drake

One Song

This performance is amazing. Taking the songs to a funked up amazing, energetic show. It had everyone off there feet, Lupe is one of my favorite rappers, and the band was incredible.

When Life Gives You Lemons,You Paint That Shit Gold

Atmosphere. One of my new favorite groups. They have a bunch of albums, but this is by far their best, well in my opinion. Yesterday is a really upbeat, the beat is on the up beat, and it comes every, up beat, skipping the first and third, so every 2nd and forth beat, the snare is hit. All of their songs are very intelligent, if you listen to their songs you can tell their is a lot of effort put in. My favorite song on the album is In Her Music Box. My favorite line of all in it is; "escape is a paradox, because the childhood is locked in the that music box." Its just interesting, because once you've grown up you can never get your childhood back. Slug's rapping style is talking, he has a melody tune in it, but like some other rappers, he talks through the song, like one of my favorite rappers Immortal Technique, whom I will go into in another session. Each song isn't only a beat, and a rapper, and some electronic tune, they have piano and guitar, and bass, and every instrument that's important, all elements that add that little touch. He keeps it real, down to earth, not only talking about women, diamonds and cars. I have high respect for these two guys.

A Kid Named Cudi

I chose this album for a few reasons, the first being Kid Cudi is one of my favorite musicians right now, and his most recent album; Man on the Moon, the end of time. Is amazing but I've been hearing it a lot and so I decided to check out an older one, which is a Kid Named Cudi. It has a couple amazing songs, and though I just got it I thought I would tell the outside world about it. My favorite song on it is "The Prayer", its a remix from the song the funeral by band of horses, one of Mr. Cudi's favorite bands, whom he has mentioned in a few interviews, he does a great job rapping and overall the feel to this song is great, check this song out for a taste of the album. That is one of many songs on this album, and not all are alike, unlike his newest album he isn't telling story through the songs. Another song that I have liked so far is, "50 Ways To Make a Record" this song is also taking a back ground audio from a song done a while back by Eminem feat 2pac. The rhythm is a bit different but the overall sound you can hear the similarities. Day n Nite is on both of these records; personally I like it that way because this is probably his biggest hit, (he put it on his myspace back in 2008) though people think its overrated its one of my favorite songs..or at least for now. And for the last song I'll talk about is "Man on the Moon" this album is full of emotion. This song shows his feelings; we need to break off from the mainstream of music, the bad emotions, from fans, and being an individual isn't good. Cudi shows that he isn't afraid, the way he dresses and acts. He cares about his fans and, if the people love him for him then they love him. I am impressed with this attitude, and Im am positive we will be hearing more about this rising star.
Thanks for reading.
