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.

ScHoolboy Q – Sacrilegious

ScHoolboy Q - Sacrilegious

I was stunned the first time I heard Sacrilegious…mostly since I hadn’t been truly impressed by any of Schoolboy Q’s music until he released his album Habits & Contradictions. The song’s lyrics are very provocative and deep. Both the production and beat are mindblowingly chill, yet the song maintains an aggressive tone. It’s quite profound, and definitely best enjoyed unsober. This is also the type of song that gets better the more you listen to it. So far Sacrilegious is my 3rd favorite song of 2012. You should also check out my album review of Habits & Contradictions if you haven’t already.
