Rap It Out, White Boy!

I renewed my love for rap music and hip-hop.

After several years apart, my old hip-hop library and I have been reunited. Albums that are currently circulating in my mind are Graduation and Late Registration by Kanye West and Bastard by Tyler, the Creator. Two very different albums. The Kanye West album is very upbeat, very old-school Kanye where he talks about himself. The Tyler album on the other-hadn is dark, demonic and downright genius. Instead of talking about himself Tyler paints scenes, more like a poet than a rapper. These scenes have been contorversial like one recent verse that depicted an an old, white man raping young girls. However, most of his other songs are less controversial. I would post a song by him but he is extremely explicit.

These albums have been on replay on my iPod because I have needed some pump up music to get me to do my homework. Between online math homework, english blogs, and chem labs I have not had a chance to just chill when I get home for a while. These songs, although some find them crude, are amazingly poetic and are perfect pump-up music to any activity.
