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. – 10 Crack Commandments

The Notorious B.I.G. - 10 Crack Commandments

I’ve been listening to a lot of Biggie lately so I though it’d be appropriate to post something by him. This song is just another reminder that he was truly the Moses of the crack game and had the lyrical prowess to back his status. Also if you’re curious, my all time favorite song by him is Just Playing (Dreams), which is off the remastered version of his album Ready To Die.

“I’ve been in this game for years, it made me an animal

It’s rules to this shit, I wrote me a manual”
