I'm not hood but I do like a scribble.
'Liam John Paul Gallagher is...a can of life. An envelope full of peace with no address. THAT fella on the estate.
He's only Brando in a fucking trackie. Like, Isn't he.
A bullet on its way around the sun, unaware that it's lighting the sky in undiscovered colours of flaming faith and holy ambition.
He's Jack Nicholson in a torrentshell with a tambourine smile. Double easy. It always was.
And all for us kids from the concrete landscapes. Those of us who were supposed to fail but were shown something else. This is for Liam Gallagher. Our Liam Gallagher.

I quite like Ice Cube. He's sharp and incisive. Some tracks to consider:
Down for Whatever A Bird in the Hand Today was a Good Day When will they shoot? Cold Places

Also, it's not my personal favourite ten - you could take out the likes of Tupac and Andre-3000, and put in Aesop Rock if that was the case. I think it'd be hard to argue any of those ten don't belong in the top ten greatest of all time. Ok, you could argue Grandmaster Flash, Herc, Afrikan Bambooka, 'LL Cool J, Big Daddy Kane, Snoop, Wayne, and a million other people have a right to be there but I stand by that list.

It took me many listens to realize it, but this is a fucking great song. That entire album is complete and utter genius. It's so incredibly rare in today's age to listen to an album, and know, that it will be a classic. Not a classic pertaining to that specific artist's repertoire, but an out-and-out classic piece of art. For me, that album is high-art. The mixing of genres, textures, instrumentation, musicality, and lyricism is what I put on the level of Bob Dylan. I know they'll be push back from some people who don't understand the intertextuality of the work, and deem it as "vulgarity," or see rock or folk as a higher form of art, but Kendrick Lamar's recent run has been Dylan-like. And it's incredibly rare to see a special artist have that once in a lifetime momentum that Lamar has presented. Much like Dylan painting a picture of what it meant to be a radical in the 1960's Vietnam era of America, Lamar does so for modern blacks, in sometimes richer hues and textures. To me, he has voiced everything I have felt and thought as a black kid living in urban America, and his record is on my top 10 list of records I'll play to my children as examples of what is achievable in music. If some people aren't on board, I guess in some respects it's understandable. But to me, To Pimp a Butterfly is a generationally required album for any serious music listener, especially when that music intersects with culture and history. In short, it's a learning moment. And in the end, this is an awesome song, from an amazing album, from a singular artist. completely agree

Hip-Hop Artists...not rappers. He's not in my top 20 rappers.
