Good day to all the heads in hip hop..This month's video of the week comes from one of RocDaddy's(writing in third person,of course.lol) Top 5 Most Influential Emcees in Hip Hop. The list includes (in no particular order):Big Daddy Kane, Notorious B.I.G, Redman, Q-tip & a guy by the name of Eminem. There are tons of hip hop lovers across the world who either hate or love Marshall Mathers. I've became a fan of Eminem when he independently release an EP where he had a song about murdering his child's mother on it(of course it was strictly entertainment.) The homie Danja Mowf played Eminem for me for the first time back in the early 90's and his introduction for the rising emcee was, "man this white dude name M&M is like so dope, I think Dr. Dre is about to sign him."The rest is hip hop history.
Let us fast forward to the present. Eminem has sold millions upon millions of records in his career and is also responsible for the success of a lot of Platinum hip hop artists, one of them goes by the name of 50 Cent. The one thing I love about Eminem is that he spits about what he knows. Did I mention that this dude gets more than a $1 of every CD sold??(Frank Sinatra of Hip Hop). Lets forget about the fact that he is does have money, but doesn't rap about it. Lets forget about the fact that he does live in a Mansion, but doesn't rap about it. Lets also forget about the fact that he can go head to head with ANY emcee on the planet, and DOES rap about that. I want the Go Live Radio audience to know that Eminem is and will always be HIP HOP. Respect him.
The new video is called "Berzerk" Produced by Hip Hop Pioneer Rick Rubin(You guys heard of Mr. Rubin, right. If not, google him..geesh.) In the video, Em takes us back to raw hip hop via Beastie Boys. In all honesty, Beastie Boys paved the way for white dudes to spit. The video includes cameos from Kendrick Lamar, Kid Rock, Rick Rubin and the members of Slaughterhouse(who are signed to Shady Records,but you know that...you better know that!!). The record is something you will not hear from any artist who claims they represent hip hop, including myself.lol This just goes to show you, that hip hop is not dead. And to add, that the President of the United States of America is Black & one of the best emcees alive is White. Go figure. Enjoy the video. #GoLive
