Continuing Hip Hop Appreciation Week, this year's focus is on the Emcee:

With KRS-One's "Miracle" yet what a thing to see!

The Bandcamp link:

Has a typo. It's correct on the CD!

"Miracle"? Nah, "Miracle" truly.

Typos aren't the be all end all, but an absurdity.

I'll be honest the so-called repetitive "beat" in trap and drill?
To me is worse than boring, and auto tune overused like this tends to lack much thrill.
So I am not one to strongly recommend this, but their emcees' flow is chill:

It's more about raisin attention outside of Japan.
That there are emcees who are active, though for me: 9sari Group is perhaps the biggest crew to stan?

A lot of them seem lost the the contemporary malaise.
Not reppin Hip Hop roots, lost in a derivative gansta rap daze.
It's not that Japan doesn't have excellent deejays!

Hip Hop on the whole.
Seems to have lost acclaim for the role:

Of the true turntablist.
Those who elevate deejayin beyond puttin on a disc or curatin a playlist.

This year we are approaching the 25th annual Hip Hop Appreciation week May 15th ー May 21st, 2023.
As I shared earlier, the theme this year is the emcee.

So, the idea is to encourage more of a conscious rap sort of vibe.
So for at least one week, I will hopefully continue to focus on some emcees who may be a bit more obscure, maybe outside of your more mainstream tribe.

Minister Sun One with a call out to all Deejays for Hip Hop Appreciation Week 2023 (this year: May 15th to the 21st, 2023 focused on the Emcee) to encourage a more conscious playlist:

I would caution: be mindful of the present conviction of Prakazrel Samuel Michel, commonly known as Pras Michél of the Fugees, is that the "conscious" sort of Emcee to promote? Someone apparently taking bribes from a billionaire?

At least for me, I think of an Emcee not putting on an air.

For example: Mr. Lif still has some flare!

Here collaboratin with Ayla Nereo and The Polish Ambassador:

RIP to Dave, aka Trugoy the Dove, from the legendary and pioneering De La Soul.

Another great leaves this plane, all too early. I wish they got the chance to live into a well-deserved old age.

Let’s start with the general stuff!
#Emcee #DJ #Host from #Louisiana

This was the very first strong #female #hiphop #rap #emcee that I ever got hooked on. I'd never heard any woman rip on the mic so well before I heard her lyrical flows. She slayed many bigger name male MCs in multiple freestyle rap battles back in the day. I looked up to her strength & admired her natural rapping talent as a tween & teen.

Have a Nice Day - #RoxanneShante

....."Words sound false
When your coat's too thin
Feet don't waltz
When the roof caves in
So if you kiss me
If we touch
Warning's fair
I don't care very much"......
