Why Hip Hop needs Kendrick Lamar and School Boy Q

Do you remember the first time you heard swimming pools , the song with the infectious hook , Po up Drank , Head Shot Drank.... Well I do and I remember thinking "Oh no , another dam song about drugs or drinking" but The more I like listened to it , the song, it had a soul to it . It had a heartbeat . The single contained what allot of music lacks these days . Kendrick with his Debut managed to grab a subject matter and tell various stories of him growing up , his adventures with partying and bullshit and girls . As he flooded the industry with his refreshing style , I could virtually hear his lyrics breathing precious life into Music. You can't deny it , rap music was indeed on life support and about to flat line for good . Competing against the pop collaborations and techno rhythms, and the monster hits that were taking over the video and radio airwaves, that little thing called rap didn't stand a chance and only familiar faces like Jay z (who has an extra ordinary rap career empire ) and Drake who became a Young Money Juggernaut were the only rappers alive eating well, literally . How School Boy Q fits into all this is because you always have your sleeper MC out of every entourage that usually has a robin to batman type musical relationship with the lead MC. The partner or "assistant pimp" lyricist can hold their own independent of "the click" . One day I was listening to YouTube and accidentally stumbled across a School Boy Q , who's delivery is cool and confident like a seasoned jazz lounge singer but manages to display a desperate hunger and need to be heard. Plus Positivity energy . Either way it makes for a great prescription to heal something that might be irretrievably broken. Like Barack Obama , they inherited this fatal diagnosis . Who knew that in the end Hip Hop would have to stand up for herself .
