One of my loyal readers, Skateboardlover, left this comment in one of my posts last week:
…it’s time for a change. I am tired of hearing about strippers, bling, and sex. can someone make a song about love, marriage, investing, and being happy? Songs my family and I can dance to with hearing the f’ bomb every other word? Is that too much to ask?
As I wrote in an earlier post: the music industry is listening. Label A&Rs are putting down their X Box controllers and doing the jobs they’re getting paid to do. They know they have no choice but to change the game because the old Hip Hop as we know it is dead.
This is why I love this video and song by Sheek Louch. It takes us back to a time when rappers used their skills in creative and imaginative ways. Feel good Hip Hop is back!

that Betty Wright sample is really cool
Sandra, thank you for posting this video. I have seen this video get lots of play on VH1 and MTV, but very little on BET. Maybe your influence can change that. SMILE!

IM LOVING THIS SONG! I WILL SUPPORT REAL HIP-HOP!
mizzdallas is that aretha on that pic? those are some big shotguns there!
The thing is people listen to what they want to listen to.People put out music like that but don’t pay attention to it and when they do put it out people don’t really go out and support it and if you want some change you have to somewhat make that change and stop caring what “mainstream hip-hop” is.Always been a fan of the Lox and Sheech doing his thing.Bought his last album and I like it!
THANK U FOR POSTING THIS SONG… I LOVE THIS SONG IT JUST PUTS ME N A GOOD MOOD
Lovin’ the song and the video. True Hip-Hop is definitely back. Hopefully people will respond well to it.
