Shop Boyz





So in the lyrical cesspool known as popular rap there are very few who can fulfill the promise of ‘changing the game’. Most of these groups showcasing new talent are exposed for overproduced clowns by the next season. Whether the public will acknowledge this or not, they want real music. I define real music as the following
1) Compositions that push to be innovative
2) Lyrics that turn a genre on it’s head
3) Passion for every nuance of involvement
4) Ignoring pessimistic critics who are negative for the sake of being difficult. With this in mind I recommend the Shop Boyz, whom I believe meet this criteria and are more talented then 8/10 rappers. Personally though I would avoid the song 'Rollin'. The Boyz seem out of their element on this track, but otherwise I would recommend the album Rockstar Mentality almost without hesitation. Below is a link to their song 'Totally Dude' If you want to hear some more tracks just post me a comment.
