5 New School Rappers Tupac Would of Liked
by
Kelland L Drumgoole
Since the passing of Tupac and the Notorious B.I.G., I have heard so many times how if they were alive a lot of the new school rappers who are now in the spotlight would not exist. See I come from an era where if you had a record deal, you could actually rap and you had more than just a "cool swag." Anyway, time changes and I have always been the type to embrace the movement of sound. However, I wanted to share with you 5 New School Rappers that I believe Tupac would have definitely appreciated.

Rapsody's Idea Of Beautiful
by
Hershal P
The rise of rapper Rapsody, a contemporary to these aforementioned artists, seems particularly interesting. Similar to Little Brother, Rapsody, whose love for Hip-Hop culture is anything but ironic, is a North Carolina native whose career and sound have been heavily shaped by legendary producer 9th Wonder.

Album Review: J. Cole - Born Sinner
by
Vlad Iouchkov
The youthful tour-de-force that is J. Cole made a bold move when announcing that he would be releasing his sophomore album Born Sinner on the same day as seasoned heavyweight Kanye West with Yeezus. Well that day is upon us, and it is a day which has made me wonder yet again if the whole "darker = better" aesthetic is merely becoming the hegemonic formula for the arts, as it's been working similar wonders for Hip Hop as it did for Christopher Nolan's 'Batman' reboot. Born Sinner is no exception.

Album Review: Talib Kweli - Prisoner of Conscious
by
Vladislav Iouchkov
Do I even need to say anything about Talib Kweli that you do not already know? Can't I just introduce the new album? Ugh, fine. So his 2011 effort Gutter Rainbows was a grossly mediocre effort; I don't know who was to blame, and I don't care. It may have been a Lupe/L.A.S.E.R.S.-like label lamentation, or it might've been Talib's own deterioration in Kwelity; however with the release of his new album Prisoner of Conscious, there is elation in emphasizing how much it doesn't matter because at least the latter has either been removed or rectified as a ponderous possibility.

The Power of Rap Music
by
Suraj V Datla
Everybody loves music. If you know somebody who doesn't, ask him to try experimenting with more genres and artists, and actually listen to the lyrics. I have been in love with music my entire life, but have never truly understood the value of lyrics until recently. In fact, it was by learning how to pay to attention to lyrics, that I finally overcame my problem of not paying attention to what others say in real life.
