Let’s Talk Hip-Hop!

I’m a big fan of hip-hop and just about everything related to it…

One of the most influential aspects of hip-hop for me, personally, is lyrical content and creativity…

I felt the need to highlight a few MC’s around the same age as myself who display this talent!

Walk with me…

[CORY GUNZ]

Cory is one of most talented lyricists in the game right now; hands down.

I remember hearin’ him for the first time on the “I Gotcha” track w/ Weezy.

Because he was a new artist to me, I didn’t know what to look for in his music…

the more I listened to his verses the more I began to develop an appreciation for his lyrical talent…

Let me show you what I’m talkin’ bout…

Cory touches a number of topics in his music; mixin’ that aspect with a vast vocabulary makes him one of the most talented to ever do it in my eyes…

THE BOY GOES IN!!

[ADDVANCE]

I’ma try to be as non-biased as possible because most of you should know that AddVance is my MC…

With that said, he is my MC for a reason…

South Philly bred and raised, AddVance displays one particular talent that seems to have diminished from hip-hop…

HE CAN SPIT OFF THE TOP FOR DAYS!

He was the first person I witnessed with my own eyes become physically fatigued from rappin’ too long…LMAO!

Peep the vid below – [He spits off the top for about 9 mins straight while I throw instrumentals at him]

You check him out at http://www.myspace.com/addvance

He’ll be releasin’ his “Doom City” mixtape January 1st!

SHOW LOVE!!

[ASAAD]

The young homie has raw, uncultured talent.  I can’t explain it to you any other way…

He hasn’t even reached the age of 19 yet but his talent level would have you believe he’s been spittin’ for just that long…

I can easily say that I’ve never witnessed such talent in a dude his age…

He released his first mixtape, creatively titled “Flowers”, early November and I gotta say that the young’n went in!!

You can download the mixtape from the Uristocrat Blog HERE!

If you don’t fuck w/ this mixtape, you don’t fuck w/ hip-hop!

I STAND BY THAT!!

[LUPE FIASCO]

I don’t need to say much about this dude…

He’s pretty much already established as one of the best lyricist to ever write a “16″…

He released his new mixtape titled “Enemy Of The State” late November…

My homie D Nice told me to make sure I had my dictionary next to me while I listened to the mixtape…

HE DROPS KNOWLEDGE!!

COP UP!!

[ASHER ROTH]

You might be a lil caught off guard by this one…

But Asher Roth is a real spitter!

Got the chance to see him live and Temple University w/ the aforementioned Lupe Fiasco…

Mr. Roth puts on a good show…

And he has one of the best DJ’s I’ve personally seen spinnin’ for him…

This is one of my favorite freestyles by Asher…

LONG LIVE THE ART OF HIP-HOP!!
