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.

Macklemore – Church (ft. Geologic)

Macklemore - Church (ft. Geologic)

This is a truly beautiful song and one of my all time favorites by Macklemore. As a Jewish-Humanist I have an exceptionally strong appreciation for this song. The lyrics are extremely intelligent and well worded, and both MCs portray an ideology that’s unfortunately rarely seen in hip-hop. Both the primary beat and angelic instrumental chorus are phenomenal and really suit the tone of the song. Church is from Macklemore’s The Unplanned Mixtape.

“The only time I felt like I was talking to God, was in my Walkman walking with Nas”
