Atmosphere- Sunshine

First Atmosphere song I ever heard, and I've been hooked ever since. This used to be the first song I would listen to in the morning as I walked to the bus stop. I also used to bump this all summer long, good times. This song perfectly depicts summer for me, and I think Atmosphere's ability to do that is what makes him so great.

Artist Review: Aesop Rock

A lot of people think that Aesop Rock just makes up sentences that sound cool. I think it is entirely the opposite, if you closely examine all of his lyrics, you can find deep meaning in every sentence of every song. Aesop Rock is quite the lyrical genius, and it is sad to see that people think he is fake, because those people are sadly just not intelligent enough to see the beauty in his words. Although Aesop may not be the best rapper, he is a beautiful lyricist and has some brilliant lines in all of his songs. I recommend you check this dude out if you haven't heard of him, because he is mad dope. Here is my favorite Aesop Rock quote.

"If the Jesus piece around your neck is bigger than your pistol,
it makes homicide okey dokey and your God will forgive you.
Just show the saints at heaven's gate you should be on the list,
I hear he overlooks manslaughter for a tattooed crucifix"

Damn......

My Review of Grieves- Irreversible

If you are a fan of the rapper Atmosphere, then I recommend you go buy this album. Grieves is quite possibly one of the best rookie indie Rap/Hip-Hop artists in the game right now. He is signed to Rhymesayers, which I think is an indication of how good he must be. Everyone of his songs is very powerful, and you can feel very powerful emotions in his words. The lyrics are pretty amazing, and the instrumentals are very unique to a rap album, but they are not entirely original or groundbreaking. Everything about this album feels natural, and I think this album is Grieves best work to date. Grieves is the best rapper at expressing emotions in my opinion. If you like Atmosphere or anyone from Rhymesayers, check this dude out, and buy this album.

Eyedea Rapper Rating

I cannot give enough praise to the skill and talent of rapper Michael Larson. He is a great rapper, and a very well-rounded one. He can kill in a freestyle or rap battle. Check it.             

He can also make the most deep and profound songs you may ever hear. This is one of my favorite songs off my favorite hip-hop album ever.

Eyedea has unlimited lyrical talent, but sometimes his beats don't live up to his lyrics. He is one of the best rappers ever in my opinion, his songs are literally beautiful works of art. If you do not own his album "First Born," then I highly recommend you get it, most of the songs will blow you away. All in all, Eyedea is a very well-rounded rapper, and he has insane talent and flow, check him out if you are interested, but you will be hearing much more about him on this blog.
Rapper Rating: 10/10 for sure

Grieves

"Cause in the morning I don't see the right reflection,
that foggy mirror after my shower I see rejection.
And i'm not saying i'm depressed
seems to be a common theme today

these children try to hate themselves
but don't know why they feel that way."

Grieves is just a great rapper. He is one of the newer members on Rhymesayers, and he invokes the same emotions that Slug does for me. He really is a great rapper, and is in my personal top ten favorite rappers. Check out some of his music if you never have.
Rapper Rating. 9.8/10

Aesop Rock, Daylight

"Life's not a bitch, life is a beautiful woman. You only call her a bitch cause she won't let you get that pussy. Maybe she didn't feel y'all shared any similar interests, or maybe you're just an asshole who couldn't sweet talk the princess." -Aesop Rock
