hey mama - kanye west

     ok so iv noticed different people have there own idea of what "real hip-hop" is. some say its the rythem of the rapper others say its just about the sound.  i think that real hip hop is about the content of what the person is rapping about there own struggles and issues in society, instead of the usual things they rap about witch are drugs, girls, violence, money. to me real hip hop is when an artis uses the music to express him or her self and tallk about issues that people werent aware of.

    people say that kanye west has changed and that he dusnt talk about real things in his songs anymore, and i agree. heres something that u can compare to his new music wich is amost all about money and fame. this ones about his mom and how much he loves her.    (something that makes him seem  more human and relatable)

Zion I - Coastin' feat. K. Flay

so this i another hip hop video from two underground artists. but what i like about these songs is that there very unique by taking a old almost jazz style of music and rapping to it shows just how  universal hip hop can be

i wish i knew natalie portman - K-os

    This song was origanaly named "on the run" by  saukrates (the artist featured in the song) but later on was named "i wish i knew natalie portman"by the main artist in the song  K-os. In a interview K-os explained the the name came of the top of his head while beeing pressured by this producers to come up with a name for the song.    But who cares about that? This song probably sounds familier to you, because is based on the song California - Phantom Planet but this version of the song has been given a completly different meaning wich i think is them on the run from the pressure of being an artist. the video is also done like a old movie car chase movie from the 70s. i really like this video because the video itself has a very old style to it and the misic is a hip hop vesion of a new and popular song thats used alot.
