Hey, Stop! What's That Sound?
West Coast Flavor: Jhene Aiko and Kendrick Lamar Stay Ready. Chris, Lil Wayne and Frenchmon share their collective angst about un-Loyal rich girls. Tinashe and Schoolboy Q turning up to get 2 On and Ne Yo and Young Jeezy reminiscing about the things money just can't buy.
Really? The music coming from the west side residents are winning right now. Lyrically, musically, composition, collaboration, entertainment. The issues and or situation expressed through the songs Loyal and 2 On may be risky behavior, the tempo and beat is some of the best dance music. Like most conundrums, you may not agree with what being said but it can be danced out. Stay Ready has the kind of lyrics that make you notice the void of karaoke rappers, and Nicki Minaj continues to evolve into Nicki Minaj with simple answer like pills and potions. Is Nicki saying that in spite of the spite she still loves but the the pills and potions are necessary?Young Jeezy, when this thug cries and when he "...looks into your eyes...", even the least romantic will feel that pang of a love only love can bring.
