Yo, Lunchboxkid here
Just having a few thoughts on whats happening with the Hip Hop
I am one of the millions out there that love and grew up listening to Hip Hop/RnB(90's kid you know.
Man back in the day was all about the hood, the street life in America, living as a young black man misunderstood and surviving in that environment. Creativity, Dope Rhymes & Beats was the only thing that separated Hip Hop back then to the other genre's like Rock & POP. As a black kid who use to get bullied at school, I used hip hop music as an escape REAL TALK!.
Back then it was something to relate to.
I wish music was like that now, you know, didn't always have to be about the same shit like going out, getting money, driving crazy whips and getting with model chicks. Man I swear, these rappers who do they thing, rap about all these things, expecting us to relate to that, please! nobody lives life carefree, nobody has money flowing out they asses.
BIG PROPS TO THE RAPPERS WHO ARE KEEP IT REAL AND NOT SELL OUT!
and when I say sell out, I mean making hits with no meaning, with one or two verses saying the same shit, auto tuning & pitch correcting there voice and most of all rapping in house beats. I love house music, but if i wanted to listen to house, id listen to house, not mainstream rnb/hip-hop.
Its a damn shame to hear Sweat - Snoop Dogg, man that shit made me ashamed to say I'm black, no disrespect, i love snoop and what he has done but come on g, is there that much drama in the LBC to make you go do that? I'm all for making money, and I understand that music like that is going to get radio play and bring in revenue but come on, you gotta do something for the younger G's who are growing up now. I feel sorry for my younger cousins who have to listen to all of this, and never get to experience vintage hip hop and rnb that I grew up to.
But as a rebuttal to this, there are a few new artist and artist who are still in the game, who still keep it real to hip hop and its legacy. Yes it's a shame, but these guys do get looked over and also underrated. Its time to step up and revive HIP HOP!
As i leave, I leave you with a song that has so much meaning about
Its called "Radio (Turn Off That Bullshit)" by revolutionary rappers Dead Prez
LISTEN TO THE WORDS, MIGHT LEARN A THING OR TWO
LUNCHBOXKIDD SIGNIN OUT, PEACEE
p.s i ain't mad, just disappointed

NARDWUAR vs WEEZY!
Now. . . OK! I know what your thinking. . .what the ficky ross is a Nardwuar?
Well Nardwuar (Also known as the Human Serviette) is a canadian celebrity interviewer. He is notoriously famous for his wacked out one-on-one-in-your-face type confrontations but at the same either surprising the person by the expertise of knowledge OR annoying the person by the obnoxious questions and witty humour.
PERSONALLY, I think Nardwuar is probably the best interviewer alive and manages to get in touch with the artists in a way a lot of people fail to do. Check out his more recent interview in Nardwuar vs Lil Wayne.
ALSO, CHECK OUT SOME OF MY FAVOURITES
NARDWUAR VS KID CUDI
NARDWUAR VS DRAKE
NARDWUAR VS J.COLE
AND PROBABLY MY MOST FAVOURITE
NARDWUAR VS CURREN$Y

B I G SEAN DON! . . .
Sean Anderson was given the chance to spit 16-bars for Mr West, while he was hosting a radio station in his local town of Detroit and there's no doubt why Kanye grabbed him for the industry rollercoaster ride. Now going by the name of B.I.G Sean, you could say this skinny 23-year old is actually running things like a boss in the States. Releasing three mixtapes since his Good Music arrival and being known as one of the key artists of fashion, Sean is only increasing his size internationally and will soon be dropping his debut album titled 'Finally Famous'.
Watch as Sean tears up Maryland University, needing no hype man to help him pump the crowd. Awesome. . .

Lupe Fiasco ft Skylar Grey - Words I Never Said (Video)
Woah, my reaction when I first heard this song was speechless but to now add visual to the audio puts it on a whole another level. Lupe is one of the realest and most political emcees to date, not only in song format but in physical action. Keep doing your thing Mr Cool Young Lu! You have our support!

Online Swag - KRSP
Okay, let's get this straight. . .I'm a BIG FAN of online shopping and I ain't just talking eBay here. Although a lot of people say it's all gimmicks and it's pointless to buy clothes overseas when you can drive 10 minutes down the road to the nearest shopping center.
Forget that pooper scooper shit, I want some original gear that not everybody on facebook has as there profile picture, which is the typical bathroom mirror reflection shot. Melbourne may be one of the fashion capitals but it sure as hell doesn't supply for the urban generation.
Therefore I give you 'Online Swag'!
On this post of swag, I introduce to you the clothing label known as KRSP!
They have a range of crazy t-shirts and crewnecks perfect for this winter weather upon us. Even better they have a crewneck sale at the moment! Enjoy!

Twenty 11 Music Scene . . .thus far
Ladies and Gentlemen,
2011 has been a crazy year for the RnB & Hip hop scene. I been keeping my ear out to the music scene and a few artists have really caught my attention...
RAP/HIP HOP:
Tyga representing that (Y.M.C.M.B) - tracks: Lapdance, Hypnotized and even a few freestyles such as 'Teach me how to dougie (remix)', 'Toot it and boot it' and his Tim westwood freestyle are all SWAG HARD!. Tyga been really proving that he wants to stick around, hats off to him...
RNB:
RnB smooth operator Mr. Frank Ocean.'Nostalgia, Ultra' the title of his latest R&B project is definitely something not to pass on. Capturing love, drugs, reality and imagination in his catchy hooks, Frank Ocean will definitely be in and around the charts soon.
tracks: Novacane, Love crimes, Swim Good and American Wedding (whole damn album!)
More rap ups coming soon...PEACE
