"Spanish Winter" - Blu

what up ya'll,

my bad for not sending out a song yesterday, i was too busy doing nothing; living that "bro"-hemian lifestyle, word? well, as i mentioned earlier, i'm pretty stoked with blu, this new mc on the scene.

it's just not as great as it used to be, but you know, it doesn't mean we can't give up on this and give up on the next dawn of hip hop. you know, i was thinking about this a few years ago, things run in cycles, right?

and you know with great force comes great opposition. remember the golden era of underground hip hop (92-97?) there was that whole westside connection/gangsta shit that was just blowing the fuck up on the radio. so it's not like it was all gravy, there was opposition. and i remember a time when the only cats that rocked new balances were old white men. i rocked the camoflauge, rugged stuff and all those gangsta raps cat would get all beefed up at me at the mall...definitely opposition. clowned at, laughed at, but then you know...when wu dropped wu tang forever, a bunch of those cats started rocking the chrome dipped plastic medallions and i turned the table on them and started exploiting them.

either way, i think a year or two ago westside connection tried dropping another big, gangsta west coast anthem and i was secretly praying that underground will witness a resurgence. but you know, none of them really made any waves.

perhaps the reason underground hip hop/rap has become so stagnant is because even mainstream rap has become stagnant. i totally hope that wack shit will come back. but as long as ya'll have your tvs tuned to mtv, everyone will have to suffer with mediocre shit.
