Today, I came onto Facebook and a video popped up on my newsfeed. My brother had posted this video on a mutual friends wall, so I played it absentmindedly. I heard the familiar beat of a Lil Wayne song, "Let the Beat Build." I watched this video and by the end of it, I can only think that I would be perfectly content if I had never heard the Lil Wayne version.This song, gives me a lot of hope for up coming rap artists. I love hearing rap that takes legitimate talent. I wish the world could see this kind of rap, not the "money, clothes, and hos" Because honestly, rap gets a shit rep. Everyone has this preconceived idea of the genre, that it is meaningless degrading violent music, but I really beg to differ.
I think this video is incredibly inspiring. It was filmed in one take in a studio at NYU. The vocals and music was all played live during this one take. It is a collaboration of very talented artists, all probably into completely different genres of music, putting together this beautiful piece of art.
If you like what you see, I suggest checking out the link to his Facebook above, or his myspace. Definitely worth your while.
