iconic music videos will always be an amazing companion to already great songs. So I started to think which rappers tend to have great music videos and of the dome, I can think of ASAP Rocky, you know, music videos like LSD multiply goldie. Those are videos that encapsulate the tracks very well and I have to give him credit for that and the aesthetics, the, the psychedelic aesthetics that he has in those music videos wrestling with the song really well. And I feel the same way about Travis scott. You know, songs like Sicko Mode, Highs in the room, Butterfly effect all have similar music videos where I share that vibe and Tyler, the creator, always having these colorful glass music videos full of personality. Like, see you again, earthquake. These are incredible music videos to me. Gambino Gambino just has too many from this is America 3005 sober sweatpants. Like I can go on like bonfire as well. They're just two iconic for me and I love every single one of them. And for me, the number one is drake drake creates too many crazy moments that have impacted meme culture, pop culture in general. What is music videos? While they might not be the most aesthetically pleasing when you think about iconic, like he just has top notch and I have to give drake credit for that all the time

whenever I feel like shift and I need to go to music in order to get my emotions out and just feel free and out of my issues for a second. I actually go to like shade the weekend sam fa di Angelo Bruno mars, you know these are people that usually resonate a lot with how I feel and I trust like in terms of their music to connect with me, Lianne la havas teddy pendergrass as well, rappers Kendrick, you know Mac Miller, Kanye Drake, Childish Gambino, these are all great artists, but thinking about it, there's two in my mind that I cannot let go. The first singer will have to be frank ocean. That's I think my favorite vocalists of all time, he's got three incredible albums that I usually get a lot from um when I'm feeling pretty sad and pretty shitty and blond being my favorite album of all time, kind of gives everything away. Um it's an amazing body of work endless to future is my pick for the rapper. You know, he's got albums like Hendrix, uh Save Me Ep is also a great emotional record to go to. And even there's some songs on, I never liked you from his new album that I really connect with from an emotional level. So yeah, those are my two big ones

Travis scott is dropping his new album very soon. We're all excited for Utopia and I just wanted to give you a quick set of facts that we know of the album before It's here. First of all, this album, as Travis scott described it, It has a psychedelic rock influence. I don't know how true that is, but I'm just basing of what he said, Those were literally his words. We know that there's going to be a lot of live instrumentation. He's been sitting in the studio with a lot of instruments and I don't know, I'm just excited to see how that sounds. And he's also mike Dean actually mike Dean said that a lot of new collaborators are going to be into this record, which like that excites me a lot because after that he said that he's making his own beats again, which is very cool. You know, we know he has like executive like production credits on almost every album for for him to be taking this tool a whole like new level with his own production, to like back to the Al Faro days, because that's how magazine described it, Minding said that Al Farrow influences going into this record. So that definitely has me excited because we all know that he's a way better rapper now. So for him to take that idea of the past and implemented to implementing into how good of a rapper. He's now that just has me excited and I just know there's gonna be a crazy creative record

Kanye West dropped the life of Pablo like what, six years ago and I haven't found an album in his discography where he challenges himself the most from a lyrical and storytelling, I guess point of view and I will always commend him for taking as much risk as he did with how aggressive and just the song structuring in general. Um this album is just too crazy, but I want to give you my top five from the album. First we got famous, I think Rihanna gives an incredible, incredible chorus and the break the bridge on this song is amazing and Kanye gives a lot of personality on this song and I love, I love the song for that Saint Pablo, amazing hook from santa and you killed it on the storytelling. No more parties in Lagos and number three, I think the Kendrick versus is amazing the year versus even better, he killed it on that song waves at number two, insane chris brown hook, one of my favorites from his career in general. Like so much passion in that hook is it's amazing and number one Ultralight beam, I think Chance gives an amazing verse um a lot of passion from you and overall, I think that's just, it might be my favorite Kanye West intro of all time. It's just the perfect for me and opens up the album, like in the best way possible for me, at least

Okay. So for my first post, I'm going to be talking about five rappers that I usually do not listen to and usually do not move me like that and yeah, I'm gonna get straight into it. First of all we got knob. I think knob has always been a very hit or miss artist for me, but he's not a rapper that I go to too often. Um, but one song that always has grabbed my attention has been my mind. I think that song is, is great for the most part Cardi B, Cardi B. I think I've always thought that she's had potential, but her biggest song to ever impact me has been dripped. I think she does phenomenal on that song and amigos have great verses and contributions. Then we have french Montana Lockjaw Lockjaw is great. He does really good. The B is haunting and menacing and Kodak Black has a very good performance there and then we have smoke perp with do not disturb. He has a great feature. I mean a great verse and officer and lil Yadi had great verses with a great beat and the last one is kind of unfair for me to put him in this list. But logic, I don't go to him anymore. But flex acu shin has always been that one song from him that I always have on repeat
