Tech N9ne & Eminem Collab

Born in the midwest and raised here, you will adapt to the culture and music movement. I'm so excited to see 2 KCMO natives collab together. Not many people know but Eminem is actually from St. Joe Missouri and later moved to KC when he was younger before moving to Detroit. Every time these two get on a track together, they surpass my expectations. If your a big hip hop fan like me ... then you'll be excited to here this!!!

On Monday Tech N9ne released a song off of his new album Special Effects called Speedom. When I first heard the song, I couldn't believe it. The track name doesn't even explain how good, lyrical and fast these guys rap on it. You will have to listen to it yourself!!

Madonna Get Tongue Tied

Madonna is back at it AGAIN. I guess she has a thing for making out with people on stage. First Britney then Christina and now Drake. Last Sunday (12th), Drake took the stage with Madonna at the Coachella music festival in California. Drake performed his song "Madonna", a track off his new mixtape "If You're Reading This It's Too Late," he invited Madonna onstage as a special guest to perform a few songs. After wrapping up "Human Nature" thats when Madonna decided to lay a wet one on him. In the video you can see Drake flailing his arms trying to make an escape away from her. 

Drake got a little more than what he bargained for. Obviously, by the look on his face ... he didn't look to thrilled. However, on Monday he let the world know how he really felt by posting a picture on Instagram saying, "  Don't misinterpret my shock!! I got to make out with the queen Madonna and I feel 100 about that forever. Thank you @Madonna". I guess Drake does have a thing for older women ... but sheesh.

DMX Is A Religous Man Now!

Recently, DMX has hit the media waves. He was talking to a crowd of people saying, " God reveals so many things to me, but sometimes I don't want to see them". 

I guess he must mean about all his charges he has such as: resisting arrest, animal cruelty, reckless driving, unlicensed driving, drug possession and identity falsification. 

Or he could be serious. However, at one point in the video he gives out an "amen". DMX then proceeds to go on another sentimental rant about how God is the only one who can take a bad situation and have it become a good situation without even changing the situation. He also explains how he is wanting to become a minister.

I'm no better than the next man, and I hope DMX is serious about what he is talking about. But how he says it and the words he chooses is hilarious to me. However, it would be good to see DMX straighten up and better his life. It's hard to take DMX seriously anymore because, he ends up always going back to his old ways. I still have faith though!

To Pimp A Butterfly - KENDRICK LAMAR

On March 16th Kendrick Lamar released his 3rd studio album. The album is a follow - up to Lamar's platinum selling, Multi - Grammy Award nominated major - label debut, Good Kid, M.A.A.d City.

Ever since I listened to Good Kid M.A.A.D. City, I was sold and couldn't wait for Kendrick to release his next album. It is safe to say that it was definitely worth the three year wait. On this album Kendrick maintained his individualism, faultlessly blending genres such as funk, jazz and hip hop to create an album of the decade. This body of work is so artistic, intricate and sophisticated. It almost feels as if your watching a film as you listen to it. That is what music is really about, it is a body of art, not just a bunch of words and an instrumental thrown together.

When the singles "I" and "Blacker the Berry" were released, I didn't really take them as well as I did with the previous album. But once I listened to them with the context of the album my opinion changed. The music reveals so much and has layered meaning behind each record.

If you haven't heard this album yet, I suggest you take a listen ... whether you are a fan or not. This album will be marked down in the history books!!
