Nowadays I
have been very disappointed in the music deamed popular by, whoever decides
these types of things for my generation. It seems like women get more and more
disrespected and unloved, take for example Lil Wayne feat. Chris Brown’s “These
Hoes ain’t Loyal” which I have thumbs downed multiple times on Pandora, which
has lyrics like,
“Why give a bitch your heart
when she'd rather have a purse” from the formally lyrical Lil Wayne or Chris
Brown, who may or may not be in jail right now, honestly I could care less who
“raps”,
"Just got rich. Took a broke nigga bitch.
I can make a broke bitch rich,but I don't fuck with broke bitches."
How…uplifting.
But alas,
an artist who is “plotting for the real wave of soul to pass over”, The Dreams Come True mixtape by D.Webb
was a refreshing reminder that all hip hop music isn’t terrible, though I still
prefer my Strawberry Letter 23 radio, I may consider giving a few more new
artist a chance.
The
introduction is definitely attention grabbing, while I do think that its super
poetic which slightly annoys me, It’s better than opening with a scene from a
movie or something, well no actually I think I would have liked that better. I
think the Intro should have been the outro, and the intro should have been a
movie scene, yep.
The beats
and vocals are very melodious and easy to relax to in certain songs, especially
in the song Far from them, which I really like. The background singing, which
says “the day in the life of a fool”, matches the lyrics my favorite one being
“talking about cars bring the happy out you niggas.”
My favorite
song has to be between Crusin, which is also the name of one of my favorite
Smokey Robinson songs, and Simple Things. I feel like Cruisin could be the hit
single, because you can listen to it while riding through your city, and it has
the easiest lyrics to comprehend without thinking too hard.
Simple Things made me feel some type of
way about men and how they think, actually just reaffirmed what I already knew.
I like this song because he was being honest about messing up with a girl
without being rude or acting like he didn’t care, because men are definitely do
an amazing job of that. I feel like if a girl was listening to this it would make her realize some truths about her
boyfriend or whatever, at least momentarily
and that makes me happy.
My favorite
lyrics in that song are “Now I can’t trip when you over on to the next walking
with another nigga” and “I’m getting mad at you like you shouldn’t be mad at me
but I should be mad at myself” as well as “What a shame, can’t change your last
name, and all her friend think I’m bitter, I’m just another nigga. Shaking my
dang head.
Overall I
think this was a very good mix tape, I will defiantly listen to it again, and recommend
it to other people. I can tell that time and passion was put into the words,
and I appreciate that it doesn’t conform to the normal clichés of popular rap
music, without trying to be to artsy like Nas…who annoys me. Lol.
