R.I.P. Gil Scott-Heron

The godfather of rap and the creator of revolutionary rap died a few days ago. May he rest in peace.

Tyler, the Creator. I think there's a lot of things to describe Tyler. Apart from his intense vulgar language and obscene content, Tyler, the Creator is probably one of the most creative artist to come into the rap industry and I can say that with great confidence. I'm not going to give a biography but Im going to explain him better than most people can. Tyler, the Creator consists of 4 elements: Tyler, the Creator, Ace the Creator, Wolf Haley, and Tron Cat. Tyler, the Creator raps, Ace the Creator makes beats and videos, Wolf Haley is his evil white alter ego and Tron Cat is the voice inside Tyler's head that causes him to act violently. With Tyler, the Creator's many sides he has created two albums Bastard and Goblin in which he basically reveals what goes on in his head. All of his many sides appear on the two albums where he talks to his therapist Dr. TC (Tyler's conscious) about his many problems. With the many ideas that go along with the Tyler, the Creator, it's safe to say that he is one of the more unique rappers to ever step forward. And did I mention that he's only 19...

My favorite member by far is Earl Sweatshirt. At the age of 17 he is considered the best lyricist in the group and has been compared to Nas at 17. He is currently not making music right now because he is at a military academy in Samoa but will be back making music when he is 18. His mom has forbidden any music of his to be leaked.

Haven't posted in a while but I want to start a new category where I post about my favorite rap group to date. I've been following them for a while so I'm just going to give their best stuff one post at a time. Here I give to you Domo Genesis.

It Just Don't Stop, Push Up Ya Lighter, No Alibi--The Roots

I explored The Roots a little bit more over the weekend and downloaded a few of their albums. Damn! Illadelph Halflife is a sick album, not to mention Organix (and Phrenology has a few good songs). Anyway, here are three of my favorites from Illadelph Halflife and if you like these downloading the album would be worth it. The whole album is sick, so there are a bunch of other good songs on there too. What They Do (a song I have been listening to long before I downloaded the whole album but is amazing), Clones, and Concerto of the Desperado are also classic.

I know the Roots, De La Soul, and the Alchemist aren't exactly unheard of, but I'm only familiar with a few of their songs. I definitely need to do check out more of their songs. I added Jungle Brothers because I heard a song by them today and I liked their style. Here's the song:
