In the mist of all the "baller-music" that we love soo much in Hiphop right now, many seem to forget what hiphop is really about "beats and lyrics". As I would like to consider myself one of my regions pioneers(meaning i was on the rhyme circuit out here since 2000.. to you little kids) its always refreshing to hear some good old Emcee music every now and then. I really hate how this game has gotten soo far away from its roots, and now over-saturated with "get rich quick-singles and ringtone - rappers". Don't get me wrong.. I'm not hatin, just stating the facts.. remember "denial is a disease yall". If you truly disagree with what I'm saying prove me wrong. I dare you!
But anyway back to this brotha Whygee, never met the dude or even been to any of his shows.. but when I stumbled onto this video, it made me feel good about hiphop again. Some may call it "backpacker" or whatever but if thats the case then I'm a backpacker too futher muckers... I like how it rep'd for graf writers and all that. That touched a nerve with me personally since thats the era I came up in when I was living in Los Angeles. I carried a backpack full of markers, mean-streaks and tester cans.. (what I like to call the GOOD OLD DAYS.. )So for all you hiphop purists out there that still appreciate B-Boy music.. Get a dose of Whygee.. and keep the hope alive... HIP HOP Aint Dead!!!... its just on vacation while corporate America tries to dabble with "commercialized drug-dealers and stripper tunes.... I like that music too you guys don't trip, Im just telling it like it is..
The only thing missing from this video is an urban-nerd tee but thats just my opinion.. maybe we'll work that out in the future.. Get at me Whygee
