#RAP MUSIC

[creatingblackcharacters]

I have been feeling very sad today. So I'm gonna share something that made me happy.

I spoke shortly about the artistry and the storytelling of rap music in my last lesson, and I've spoken before about how a major part of the experience is the respecting the lyricism and the poetry of it. A really good verse will have you bouncing along with it, locked in.

So one of my favorite of all time verses, like I'm impressed with it every single time I hear it without fail, is Andre 3000s verse in Rosa Parks.

I was listening to it today in the car, and my sadness paused for the entire verse just for me to go "🥲 quality🤌🏾🔥" So yeah. That's what made me happy today.

Love Lasts Forever.

He's Bobby Wardell Sandimanie III, but you'll know him better as Destroy Lonely. Here on Tumblr, you might know him as @topfloorboss. Whatever name you know, Destroy Lonely is dropping something huge. 

Love Lasts Forever is out today. It's his sophomore album and the follow-up to last year's debut If Looks Could Kill. The record has 21 songs and features guest appearances from Ken Carson and Lil Uzi Vert. 

Lonely has a lot to say about it, and you can catch his thoughts right here, along with a selection of content curated by the man himself.

Takie dziwne uczucie, że chcesz z kimś porozmawiać, ale tak naprawdę nie masz z kim i po prostu boisz się, ze zostajesz sam z swoimi myślami...
