 In recent posts, I have argued for the resurgence of real hip-hop.
Since today is Bob Marley's birthday, I figured I would pay tribute to one of the most powerful and courageous critical thinkers of our time. I also decided to take this opportunity to put my money where my mouth is in regards to hip-hop music.
Here is a track I did with my rap group GHOSTTOWN that pays tribute to Bob Marley and provides a sample of what real hip-hop sounds like.
This is also a taste of what's to come with my upcoming book and my groups upcoming mixtape.
ENJOY !!!!!!!

Thanks for bringing it back!

Keep bringing what you're bringing!  There was so much hope in hip hop, then it got subverted.  Let's go back to the roots so we can go forward with the struggle!  Keep it up!
 
 
 
 
 
PS - Ever heard of Nerdcore?  If so, what do you think???
