Murs and 9th Wonder - The Epitome of Hip Hop

This is the greatest album to come along since Nas' Illmatic! Yeah I said it! Because it's an album of context. He ain't talking a bunch of bullshit. For example in one of his songs, titled, Asians girls, he's talking about the beauty of the women from Tonga to Korea and everything in between. Now when's the last time anybody's giving Asian girls any props in Hip Hop?

One of the tightest songs is called "The lick" and it's about how the liquor store is the best thing in the 'hood!!

The icing on the cake for this album is the song "I used to love her-again". He remakes Common's "I used to love her" but from West Coast perspective. Personally, I think it's better than the original. (Not to take anything away from Common).

In my Hip Hop book, Murs and 9th Wonder get Five Stars, hands down!!
They should get a "hip hop grammy"!!

Hey there brother! Glad to see you finally put up your blog! And just in time to educate the masses of sleeping youth on what TRUE Hip Hop is! Are the youth giving away their legacy? I didnt see enough black or brown faces in that audience. Seems that the masses are asleep, nodding to the Nikki Minaj's and Lil Wayne's of the "industry"! Well you got you work cut out for you, but I know you got SOUL POWER enough to take on your mission to bring THE TRUTH!!
