Its kind of sad, isn’t it? Yet another summer has come and gone, but what a summer it was. The wind, once again, is drawing us closer to ripping that box in the corner of our wardrobes, with “Cold Clothes” scribbled across it in black marker. All I’ve got to say is, bring it!
This mixtape is in response to the “5 Pop Acts You Are Allowed To Like” post I made earlier this week. The post was well received and I had some requests of making a rap version of it. Instead of picking 5 Rap Acts those Pitchfork fanboys are allowed to like without ruining their indie cred, here’s a mixtape of some of the great rap artists of recent times. I enjoy rap music, it great chill, angry, and mind bending music — wrapped together with a bow (err chain?) on top.
On this mixtape, you will find some Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, and others. What you WILL NOT find are those rap songs I like to call “ringtone rap”. “Ringtone crap”, rather. I’m talking about those extra catchy songs that seem to be made for simple minded people with a short attention span. You know and loath them alright; “Party Like A Rock Star”, “Crank That”, “Laffy Taffy”, “This Is Why I’m Hot”, ring any bells?
Mhm.
Now before we start this, I already admit this may be Kanye West beefed because, well I’m a hopeless Kanye sheeple, but you know what? Fuck Off
