Sometimes, hip hop escapes the bling and the ho, reaching out to have a political influence on the world.
Like other political musicians, this can prove to be extremely laughable.
Jimbo posted a What's-Shakin' post about Arrested Development, a hip hop group from the 90s with a political spin.
Sure, they may be considered tacky now, and, yes, they were once voted in the Top Ten Worst Musical Groups in the World, but 'Everyday People' will always be on mix tapes/CDs until the nuclear armageddon destroys all the speakers on Earth.
A world without speakers - that'd be a nightmare... imagine traffic jams without Bob Marley, airshows without the Scorpions... and of course, family BBQs without Arrested Development.
Jimbo sez:
"The hip hop collective had a wicked style that combined the corniest of 90s hip hop with the most stylistic of musical techniques, combining the amazing voices of all 5 artists, lead [sic] by "Speech.""
Myself, I've sung along to 'Tennessee' while hanging out in Tennessee. I've hung out on street corners to 'Mr. Wendal' while getting down to all kinds of 'ill shit'.
Yeah, but nothing beats grooving with an attractive friend to the *good part* of 'Everyday People' in a tightly packed club, only to have the music and the smell of excitement push you close together, erasing those lines of friendship with giddiness and lust.
