Ghostface Killah Crowns Best Storytelling Rap Song

Ghostface weighs in on what he thinks is the best storytelling song in hiphop with songs picked by Complex. This is quite an interesting segment and I really like Ghosts take on all these and it’s his writing process is amazing.

I’m Out Of Touch…

out of touch

Or atleast, I believe I am. I was over at Complex, why? I don’t know, but, they had this list of the 25 best songs of the year (so far) and I’m sorta happy to say I’ve only heard two songs on their list,The Roots – Right On (which I didn’t think was anything special compared to 75 Bars from 2 years ago) Sean Price –  Let Me Tell You, and  this seems to be the only hip-hop track that wasn’t backed by a major label and and not in cahoots monetarily with the corporate publication… I have avoided most of the names on that atrocious list because these particular artists..well… they suck. This may offend you, if it does, good. This list just makes me weep for state of music, such great arists are around making great art everywhere and they get no promotion what so ever and these artists stay confined to their respected areas/sub music cultures.

A site and company that prides itself on underground/street culture should truly be ashamed. Instead they’ve become the opposite of what they intend to be, they sell out street culture and make it a mockery and a joke,then try to pawn it off as whats real and it makes me sick to my stomach. I could easily name 25 better tracks that have dropped this year but I’ll refrain but I can think of one that didnt make the list and is possibly better than any track on the list is Freeway and Jake One – She Makes Me Feel Alright, that’s only one track on the album and thats far from the best joint on there. Oh, Complex gave the number 1 track of the year so far to Kanye West for the track Power, LOL what a joke.
