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.

Vinnie Paz – Jake Lamotta

Vinnie Paz - Jake Lamotta

Jake Lamotta is my second favorite song off of Vinnie Paz’s new album God of the Serengeti (my favorite song being Cheesesteaks). The instrumental has a very laid-back old school feel, which is exceptionally unique for Vinnie Paz. The beats he raps over are typically just as aggressive as his flow, but this mixture of a mellow beat and aggressive flow randomly works exceptionally well.

For those who don’t know, Vinnie Paz is a HUGE fan of boxing, and Jake Lamotta is a retired boxer and former World Middleweight Champion of the 1940’s and 50’s (aggressive/old school). He’s also an Italian-American like Vinnie Paz.
