Decent Rap or Hip-Hop songs from 2015 and above

Money in the Grave...Drake



Didn't like this song at first, but then listened to lyrics, still can't really relate, but like the passion.

With new rap, have to sometimes splice lyrics with rythmn and or beat to get message.

Have to be objective type to do so, if not objective, than the graveyard and coffins are to your right.

Mos Def??



West Coast 'Cali' blacks are just different, roll by a different vibe cause out there sorrounded by Mexicans, white hippies, Aryan Nations, White Brotherhood and other...so to survive as a black male in Cali, you just have to roll differntly in order to survive...is why I dig this song.

Which I totally discovered by accident, and now stuck here in the Zone forever where it belongs.

These types of 'rappers' like me, not cause I'm as 'street' as them, but rather they seem to like me simply cause I'm honest, real and raw.

Life is extra hard for 'Blacks' in Los Angeles now, since Mexicans started campaign to drive them out, so this video is very rare of black dude in LA still preaching



LA rapper with more of a 90's East coast hip hop sound.

Sorry Ya'll I ain't got on haters - Ice Cube and To Short



Now I know Cube and 'To Short' aren't new rappers, but I think this song released a few years ago to kind of sum up thier careers.

I thought it was going to suck actually, cause I haven't been much of a fan of Cube's music for about a decade or more, his studio sounding rap stuff just sucked to me.

But this song here, wow, it goes back to how rappers use to borrow heavy from soul music, which just adds so much more depth to songs.
Songs like this probably touch older generation rap listeners more so than newer ones.

And also, many people who listen to rap, don't just listen to rap, maybe some of today's inner city urban types, but back in the early days, people were more diverse in music.

Sure they might listen to some select rap, but then they'd listen to rock, jazz, pop, whatever, that's just how older school folks rolled, not sure about todays on track mind types, or at least inner city types.

I know whites are usually willing to explore other types of music more so than today's black inner city types are.

Blue Cheese?

Whatever it is, I like it.
