I'm a massive queen fan and I've never heard of this! I know he went into producing (Morris Minor and the Majors and Biggles soundtrack anyone?) but I never knew he brought a solo album out - off I go to find it!

Lots of people like hip hop in this sub.

Also, 70 percent of any genre tends to have a lot of crap in it. Name any genre and I'll name a band from it that sucks. The key is digging into the 30percent that makes a genre gold to understand why it's popular with so many people.

Hip hop isnt the main genre I listen to. But the hip hop I love, I love deeply.

Check out the real sht with smart deep lyrics and subject matter, and grooving beats... beyond money, btches, & bangin:

A Tribe Called Quest

De La Soul

Public Enemy

Jurassic 5

KRS ONE

Digable Planets

Eric B & Rakhim

Run The Jewells

...to name but a few.

Remember more than anything, hip hop is generally a newsletter from that person's world. And often time the world they are born into isn't pretty. You might have to do a little work to let them musically put you in their shoes.

Drug Addicts is a response to J. Cole's 1985, where he seems to call out Lil Pump:

>I hear your music and I know that rap’s changed

>A bunch of folks would say that that’s a bad thing

>‘Cause everything’s commercial and it’s pop now

>Trap drums is the shit that’s hot now

>See, I’ve been on a quest for the next wave

>But never mind, that was just a segue

>I must say, by your songs I’m unimpressed, hey

Also Lil Pump is sober and has been off and on since before he released the song. The song is literally a response to another rapper saying his music is too cookie cutter. J. Cole insulted his rap, so he responded with another song that jokingly played into everything J. Cole was critiquing. This literally took a 2 second Google search.
