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.

Eyedea & Ablilities – Read Wiped In Blue

Eyedea & Abilities - Read Wiped In Blue

As I’ve said multiple times already, Eyedea is one of the best hip-hop lyricists of all time. He’s in my top 3. I’ve been listening to A LOT of Eyedea & Abilities over the last few days. I listened to his 2001 debut collab album First Born (the same album Read Wiped In Blue is off of) on repeat for at least 5 hours while we reorganized my apartment. It’s the kind of music you really need to listen to in-depth before you fully appreciate it. The lyrical and emotonal depth of this song makes it what it is. R.Eye.P.
