Remember when Hip-Hop was fun. I hope Skee Lo is some where writing a fresh song like this one. And I wish I was a baller and not just a blogger. LOL, and it might be cool to be taller too.

Hip Hop Blues

Like Ron I don't really get all the labels that are used in music. I often read and hear people using and misusing labels. Having said that, I do understand the need to be able to name a thing. And I think some labels are descriptive and help us understand what the music is about.

I posted a video to my blues blog about Hip Hop Blues. Well you can guess that I got an earful from blues fans who hate Hip Hop. Which to me is kind of silly because the same people who hate Hip Hop are probably the grand-children of people who hated blues music before it became cool to like blues.

I think the the label Hip Hop Blues fits this video to a tee.

OK, kids here is a little something something for your ears and eyes. If you don't like explict lyrics you might want to avoid this post. But for some reason I like this, maybe it is all those people in this video that don't know why I like looking at. And about that title, I have no idea.

But on the "for reals" this post is about 88-Keys. He is an American record producer and rapper named Charles Misodi Njapa, he is better known by his stage name 88-Keys.
