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.

Carl Sagan - The Frontier Is Everywhere

Not gonna to lie, the first time I watched this video almost a year ago…my eyes got watery. This is one of the reasons why I’m becoming a scientist. People are too distracted by pointless day to day happenings…celebrity news, what your friends are tweeting about, ignorant reality tv shows, buying cool new things you don’t actually need. These day to day distractions keep us from looking forward at the big picture, and sustains our ignorance to the vast possibilities the future holds. If we collectively invested more into the question “what can be?” rather than “what’s happening right now?”, humanity would progress into a future much greater than what we could have ever conceived or thought possible as of now. Long live science!
