There goes the neighborhood

There goes the neighborhood can have so many different meanings and be used in so many different situations. I think a good example is the new wave of so called rappers who don't rely on their rhymes or flow but on their vocals singing their raps. Wale and Kid Cudi are the first generation of these but I'm sure that more of them are going to come because of how successful they have become. I will take a lyricist over anything a great example of an up and coming is Whitney Young's very own Vic Mensa. His lyrics not only have meaning but uses vocabulary that you wouldn't expect to hear and makes it work with an amazing flow. Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka are modern day Junior Mafia because of how they talk about the life of crime that they lived before they or still are living. That is one of the appeal of these rappers is the mystery behind them and the danger they represent. A true success story is none other than Jay Electronica who was homeless in the projects of New Orleans barely making it but now that he records his exhibits has become one of the most played songs on my iPod because of the great combination of amazing beats, great samples in the music, and the feel that whatever he says is the truth. I believe that hip hop is a story being told through poetry in motion the artist who just hype themselves up and don't say anything they are straight trash.
