Thoughts on Rap Music & One Mike Eagle
Lately, my heart for rap is reawakening. Isn't that good news? I mean, for a rapper... you would think... (...inappropriate use of ellipses are a pet peeve of everyone's...). I went to an Abstract Rude show on saturday. Real. And it was a beautiful thing. A thing of beauty, friends. And I have been posting on ugsmag. What's happening to me. I have seen some great rap video's lately and I have even bought some rap music. I payed for it, people. Crazy. I am going to show you these video's below, BUT FIRST, let me tell you that One Mike Eagle just changed the way I thought I thought (HATE, FEELINGS OF HATE) about never finding good rappers that challenge me while sounding good while intellectually and spiritually stimulating my WHOLE BODY. This man is a real rapper, friends. There are plenty of real rappers but this man is something realer that reality. He doesn't exist here. He must float around or something. Or perhaps microphones float around whenever he enters a room. I can't be certain. His is the first video I post below. Watch all of these though. And buy One Mike Eagle's album, Unapologetic Art Rap.
