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.

The Notorious B.I.G. – Just Playing (Dreams)

The Notorious B.I.G. - Just Playing (Dreams)

I haven’t posted any of Biggie’s works yet, so I felt obligated to post this. Just Playing (Dreams) is favorite song by him. From beginning to end each verse is completely saturated with Biggie’s commanding flow and swagger. The chorus is also one of my favorite choruses from a 90’s song. It’s so goddamn smooth. I often play this at house parties with the bass cranked up…truly nothing like it. This is off of the remastered version of his album Ready To Die.

“As I sit back relax puff a blunt, sip a Becks

Think about the sexy singers that I wanna sex”
