its become abundantly clear to me that ive been grossly neglecting the hip hop world. on that note, id like to officially declare this entire week HIP HOP WEEK! are you so excited that youre lizzing right now? me too. this week should be full of twists and turns, including our very first in what will hopefully become a quasi-regular influx of guest writers.
i definitely dont listen to as much hip hop as some other types of music, but that doesnt mean i dont like it. on that note, im going to try to make an effort to post some hip hop tunes a little more often, starting today with a track by chiddy bang out of philly, as their website name suggests. chiddy bang is made a duo comprised of chiddy and xaphoon jones, and they are two 19 year olds who some believe are on the verge of blowing up in 2010.
i was sent their new three-song EP “the opposite of adults” recently and my favorite track was this one, “sooner or later” (although the title track, which samples mgmts “kids”, is a close second). i like when a few different genres can be combined into one song ,which is maybe why im liking kid cudi so much, since he is clearly in touch with his indie rock side as well as his hip hop side, and i feel like chiddy bang could be headed in the same direction. and if this wasnt hip hop enough for you, im expecting my official first guest post soon which should have some more classic hip hop flavor, but hey, im trying.
before you depart today, id like to request your assisstance in helping out a great charitable organization, and all it takes is 30 seconds of your time. a friend of mine is a director with the generation project which allows donors to design educational opportunities for children living in poverty — anything from sports programs to essay contests, art classes and everything in between. the organization is currently in the final 100 organizations in the chase community giving program (which many of you may have seen on facebook) and it would be great if you could all take a few moments to vote. its free, and no spam/registration is required. just click here, click “allow”, click “become a fan”, and then click “vote”. its that simple. voting ends 1/22 so get those votes in and thanks in advance!
