The Best of Underground Hip-Hop

My name's Jake Bourey, and I've dedicated a significant portion of my life to music and deciphering the science behind its beauty. As you can guess from my blog's title, I'm especially passionate about hip-hop. I post and review the best songs hip-hop has to offer, old and new. Most are in the “underground” genre, considering that’s where the vast majority of hip-hop's true art resides these days.

The overall goal of this blog is to educate the general public by exposing them to outstanding hip-hop songs and artists that they might have otherwise never known about. Many people don't realize the hip-hop universe is filled with countless beautiful gems that sadly remain completely hidden deep underground, buried by the overwhelmingly fake, watered down, and soulless music of the mainstream radio and music industry. “There's a war going on outside no man is safe from”, so do your part and help real hip-hop fight back against this overly popularized wackness and sellout mentality. Long Live True Audio Art! I also make mashups and I co-run Hip-Hop Revolutions.

Hip-Hop Fights Back is now allowing follower submited music reviews

Given that essentially all of my followers have extremely good taste in music (your recommendations are always top notch), I’m going to start allowing follower submitted music reviews. So if you come across a song that’s randomly the greatest thing you’ve heard in a while or an old time favorite of yours that no one knows about, and you feel obligated to share it with the masses, just submit the song along with a brief well worded review. All you need to make sure of is that it meets a high standard of writing. If you are a colorful writer and have a blatantly good ear for hip-hop, I won’t have any trouble posting multiple of your reviews, in case you decide submitting your favorite music will become an ongoing thing.

It’ll also have to be in youtube format, so make sure the video can go at least to 480 in resolution, since anything less really takes away from the sound quality.

If I get any above average submissions today, I’ll definitely be posting them later tonight.

I had a few friends running in the Boston Marathon today. Thankfully they escaped unharmed. If you haven’t heard yet, 3 bombs went off today at the marathon. The 3rd one exploded only an hour ago.

NPR – Rapper Homeboy Sandman overcoming the odds

NPR - Rapper Homeboy Sandman overcoming the odds

Without exaggeration this is greatest hip-hop related story I’ve ever heard, and it’s a must listen for everyone who understands the kinds of risks and sacrifices musicians need to take. I’ve been a fan of Homeboy Sandman for many years, but I never knew about this crazy/inspiring tale. It also really helps that he’s a damn good story teller.

My favorite song by Homeboy Sandman is Calm Tornado, which you should click if you want to read my review for it.

Long live NPR and real shit.

Rolling Stone: Did you know Frank Ocean was gay before he came out last year?
Tyler, the Creator: Yeah, I was one of the first people he told. I kinda knew, because he likes Pop Tarts without frosting on them, so I knew something was weird. But that’s my nigga.

Hip-Hop Thought Experiment

If Nas had been gunned down in the late 90’s, I presume he would carry a similar posthumous status as Tupac does now.

If Tupac was still alive in this post golden era, he would be seen similarly as Nas is today. A hip-hop legend who’s still making amazing music, but with not as much attention.

Nitty Scott MC - Bullshit Rap

There are numerous dope female hip-hop artists on the rise that definitely boast a lot of talent. Don’t sleep on them. Women in hip-hop who aren’t spitting bullshit need more support than ever now, so turn off that damn Nicki Minaj and listen to some real music.

“We represent for hip-hop, and not for rap ya’ll.”
