Song of the Week
It’s that time of the week again, it’s song of the week! This week the song is a song that echoes my sentiments on modern hip-hop:
Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip - Fixed
Now I’m not the biggest fan of hip hop by any stretch of the imagination, but I do appreciate it for what it is and do like a lot of classic, old school hip hop. These days however, there is so little imagination in any of the lyrics. Seriously, how many hip hop songs these days are about anything else other than the artists themselves, how much money they have and/or how many girls they’ve had? Personally, I couldn’t care less about either, particularly not in every single song, it’s all incredibly tedious and I wish someone would teach the hip hop artists of today’s world how to write real, meaningful lyrics.
As for Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip, I think they’re a great combination. Clearly all the backing beats and pieces are straight off a laptop but they work incredibly well with Scroobius Pip’s unique style and poetry. The lyrics are always well thought out and meaningful, which more than makes up for the catchy, but simple beats. I would recommend their album if you like what you hear on this song or have enjoyed any of their previous releases.
Hip Hop is art!
