Music Monday
Hi fellow Hiveians,
Today I'm getting back to sharing some music, let’s get into it!
Music Monday
I had used a different series for the music posts, Saturday Night Sounds, but that wasn't entirely popular and I think it got confused a bit with the name that someone finally told me about lol.
Music is one of my favorite things to relax to, as many people can also probably have similar experiences. My musical tastes are incredibly diverse, I think. I can enjoy some really heavy gangster rap (not the radio trash), some metal, country, classical and so many others in between.
One of the coolest things about music is that all of the different kinds have their unique qualities to them and reasons that we listen to them. Some are more chill, others are upbeat and getting you motivated.
This Week's Choice: Lyricist Rap
I think that I will try to confine the post to be 2 or 3 songs of the particular topic to keep it shorter and so that people can listen to one or all of the songs without taking too much time!
Switching it up this week a little bit! I've been on an alternative rock kick as of late, since I was in the car a lot and listening to the radio. I've gotten back to work so that means I'm also using Pandora again and thinking of different stations to check out. Good thing I have @dandays to offer some selections! His PUtS selection for me last week got me thinking that I should drop some lyricists!
Way more important to me though, is sharing a song with me! It doesn't have to be anything related at all to what my choices are but I would love for you to share a song or two with me!
People Under the Stairs - Acid Raindrops
Canibus - Liberal Arts (featuring Jedi Mind Tricks)
Jedi Mind Tricks - The Rage of Angels

I hope everyone listens to those tracks. All I have to do is see that PUTS cover and immediately I hear horns. I love that song—RIP Double K.
Great choices tonight.
When you said Lyrical and hip hop, Lyrics Born Lyrics Born Lyrics Born Lyrics Born Lyrics Born Lyrics Born like that. Dude it won't stop.
Shit man! Blackalicious, what a damn classic! Alphabetic aerobics is one of my all time favorite songs. His follow up here is epic! Love that track man! Z to A is a bit tougher than A to Z I think.
Have you seen Mac Lethal's Insanity 2? I didn't know who he was until I saw him open for POS one night in Hollywood. That was more probably 25 years ago now. Dang.. life is so fast. Seems like just yesterday we were partying in Havasu.

Hahaha holy shit that was insane! I've heard of Mac Lethal before somewhere but didn't do much to look him up. I will definitely be checking him out now!
He trolled us with Zebra lol. I like how he was doing things in the video to, what I think, show that it wasn't sped up!
Allow me then sir.
When he released 11:11 on Rhymsesayers, he hit the big leagues. Since then he's cameod, produced his own label, bought a bar, markets his own beer, and still raps like that.
This track Backward is the one I'd show people back in the day who never heard of Mac Lethal. I swear no one rapped "fast" before that one section in this track:
Quality, serious flow...
Quality, serious flow...
Nice! I'm glad you agree. Were you familiar with Mac Lethal before now?
I'm stoked we have another person participating in music Monday! Lol
Good selections DJ.
No man, had never heard of him, added to my rap playlist. What's the best album of his to check out?
I'm a big fan of that 11:11 album I linked but Irish Goodbye is tough to beat. And any of his Love Potion collection.
Dude you ever heard of Brother Ali? I won't overload your brain just yet but I can hook you up with all my favorite MC's. I've seen all these guys live too so I can tell you all about their stage performances. Big fan of these guys.
Man, I gave 11:11 and Irish Goodbye a twirl on a recent long car journey. Quality stuff, some cracking tunes on both...
Just listening to Shadows on the sun now man, he's even better. Right up my street, reminds me of Gangstarr...
Keep hooking me up with other MCs if you have the time and the inclination 👍
Chills. I saw Gangstarr twice, once as Guru. He played at Viper room as Guru barely a month before he died. I got there late, I had no idea what I was about to miss.... He was with Premier and Rahzel that night.
RTJ hearda them?
Grouch & Eli? Pain On The Break. Turn it UP.
I'll keep'em comin.
Ali's stage presence is like no other. He's albino, too, so pale skin with glowing red eyes. That dude splits the audience in twos, three, 4ths, etc each of us singing different pieces of his lyrics.
No shit, that's Savage about Gangstarr, must have been some gig that..
Had heard a few RTJ songs a few years back alright, quality MC. Will check out Grouch & Eli soon. Cheers for heads up.
People Under Stairs 👌👌👌 Quality Tune... Going to listen to the other two now too..
What did you think of the other two? Thanks for stopping by man! I'm excited to see more people interacting with my music Monday! Lol
Quality lyricists.... here's a few that I like.... some old, some new... For me I don't care if it has 400 views or 400 million views, if it's good, it's good
Awesome stuff man thanks for dropping some tracks! I hear you on that. If it's got a lot of views or not a lot, the quality is there with some of them!
I'll give these a listen to tomorrow as I get into my morning groove. Really appreciate some engagement on this!
Delighted to engage and get some great recommendations from yourself and @dandays 👌🎼
Nice one lads!
