Oh.

Oh.

Oh. by nikgold featuring woods boots








Love this video =]






The Times.










or has all the music decimated over the years?
I know we can't compare what we have now to decades ago but have the insulting, demeaning verses of raps integrated into our sex driven, love lacking r&b lyrics ruined the essence of true rhythm and blues?







Singing along :



Doing my two step and head nod:

Song has been on my mind forever!



At least three times a DAY


Seems to creep into our thoughts, our conversations and our regrets.
It doesn't have to. Life happened. Now live the rest before it passes you by.




The studded spike cuff though...
If it were three rows longer would be perfect!

I feel like I'm in a Beyonce musical when I watch this video






Rick Ross paints pictures when he raps. 
Yes, this big black fellow
With an oversized tatted body and gold chains as cliche as can be is the most precise, literate and elaborate artists when he raps.
Painting pictures and curving mountains as he poetically flows along with the beat.
I've discovered there are many rap styles, 

The Preacher :
Telling the story in a way that applies the lesson to everyday life. (Nas, Common, Andre 300, Jay Z etc)

The Teacher : Breaking it down to you, so that you understand what is being said and feeling the emotion that comes along. (Wale, J.Cole, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Big Krit, Kanye West)

The Painter : Describing, things, people, feelings and places so elaborately you can do nothing but feel and be taken to where he is going, on his journey for how many bars (Nas, Rick Ross, Young Jeezy, Dom Kennedy, Theophilus London Wiz Khalifa)





Alright, I'm off to work, had a pretty good day so far.
Realized good things don't always fall into your lap.
Now I'm about to go make this money
And as exciting as that is,
quite honestly...

Song was in my head so I got the video.




I'm a wild animal at heart.
