Help With Your Fractured Filters

It’s not hard to make money with less substance if you’re already rich and famous.

If you consider our contemporary society as being extremely influenced on morality and ethics, then you could also assume that our cultural icons, (MUSICIANS, athletes, politicians, etc…) should be responsible for the power and abilities they have.

Think about the sway that enormously popular rap stars like Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Ludacris, and so many others hold over America’s youth. Are they really sending out the right message with excessive materialism, hoes, and purp in they cup? And so, I weed through the garbage to pick the good apples out for you.

A handful of mainstream artists consistently produce socially conscious albums while staying fresh and entertaining. Others however, are sending ridiculously ‘dumbed-down’ lyrics that provide little more than a snare-kick loop on top of a deep bass sample intermittent with techno reverbs. Although these are entertaining and undoubtedly created for dancing while ‘poppin’ bottles in da club,’ they really are mind disintegrating.

It is the artist’s responsibility to provide music with positive messages and insightful lyrics. With so much rubbish out there, it’s hard to train your personal filters that catch all the crud.

That’s why I’ve created this blog. That’s why I’ll keep updating it with entertaining artists that make you think rather than aspire for diamonds and cars. And that’s why a list is under development of everything that makes up the highly regarded world of underground hip-hop.
