RE: Music Monday (feel free to add your own music)
Hail Mary by Tupac / Makaveli.
(Lyrics NSFW.)
Gangster Rap
Inspired by the hip hop theme of the song you posted. With reference to the style, lyrics and meaningfulness (or lack there of) in modern hip hop.
If you can listen beyond the vulgarity and rawness of some of the lyrics, there are potential lessons that can be heard and interpreted from them. And if you don’t agree, it’s at the very least an interesting and potentially different perspective on life.
This is in addition to the actual musical arrangement itself which is vastly different from the hip hop and rap from recent years.
The video has the entire album on it but the link directs you straight to the beginning of the song mentioned above.
Also used this track as a thematic or “mental shortcut” link in one of my recent posts. So for me personally this song is trending.
Hey my friend, I love Tupac and it's been a while since I listened so I really enjoyed this. I've listened to hip hop since about 1988 and gangster rap played a pretty big part in that so I'm used to the lyrics lol I think that Pac was one of the most inventive and genuinely interesting rappers out there and this is a great track!! .. I jumped over to youtube to listen to the track and will kick back with the album a bit later on. Thank you for the music @hrissm

FYI some more music from the other night... inspired by you, thanks!

I’m from the east coast so naturally I was first exposed to Biggie but I have to admit I prefer Pac.
Haha yeah I was just making a general statement to inform anyone who might not have been prepared for it.
Awesome, hope you enjoy(ed) it.
I have a rather broad and diverse taste in music, so I’ll definitely be coming back here to share more music that I’m sure (almost) no one will have heard before!
