Is this the Greatest "Rap" Album Ever?


Bold Statement? It would be much too early to attach any labels to Weezy F. Baby's baby this early, but as I continue to digest song after song, I'm amazed at the one-of-a-kind sound/feel this Album has. Regardless of where it ever ends up on some MTV/Rolling Stone list, this Record is most definitely Outstanding. Coming Soon - a track by track breakdown of the most important American album of the year. For right now, the track "Tie my Hands" featuring Robin Thicke is one of the most exceptional songs on the Album. I can not think of one other Hip Hop song that can illicit as much soul as this one. One of the biggest holes in hip hop music has always been the lack of quality songs that discuss or even acknowledge with any form of intelligence or true emotion the current events of the world(DMX didn't even know a black man was running for President for Fucks sakes, and name one song about 9/11 that future generations could ever look back on as a testament to the mental state of the country from 2001-2004)??? Well, New Orleans own Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. composes a truly beautiful poem about a truly awful tragedy. This, ladies and gentleman, is a socially relevant hip hop song. Believe it.
