Feelin High Like I'm Tryin' To Leave the Ozone

MED is a dope MC. But when I heard Push Comes To Shove I couldn't help but feel that MED didn't reach his full potential. It's a dope album, but it could've been better. But then I heard this:



Now I'm Excited.

Expansions

What's up everyone?

I've become tired of this blog being a hip-hop only blog, and would like to expand. The reason I haven't updated the blog in some time is because I don't have anything! So from now on the blog is no longer Hip-Hop only and will be expanded into a blog centered around dope music in general.

"Don't Stop The Body Rock!"

Suckas Need Bodyguards is back! (From an exhausting vacation.)

Today our topic is Mos Def. Mos Def is known for is collaboration with Black Starr, acting, and singing. While a lot of people don't like his singing very much (or at all) he is undoubtably one of the greatest MC's in hip-hop. He has also worked with many great producers, including DJ Premier and the late J Dilla.

This song, "Body Rock", features Tash (of the Alkaholiks) and Q-Tip (of A Tribe Called Quest) and is super dope. The B-Side is Talib Kweli's "Reflection" produced by Hi-Tek. You need this single in your life!

"You Now in Tune to the Master Thought"

?uestlove dropped this freestyle on a playlist he had, and it bugged me out! Black Thought is a dope MC from one of the dopest crews in music, The Legendary Roots Crew. I've had the luck to see The Roots live twice, and if you haven't seen their live show, you're missing out on an amazing performance.

This is a rip from the Stretch & Bobbito show. I have no idea what year it is, but it's dope nonetheless. If anyone has more info on this clip or even the full show, hit me up! In the meantime, just vibe to this dope freestyle.
