Is This Man The New Primo?
I don’t blog much these days because not much excites me. I can’t force it anymore, but this Common/Kanye track gives me hope. This is the best individual “hip-hop” song I’ve heard all year. Say what you want about Common, but his last album still outsold Rick Ross. And I personally agree with the Kanye being the new DJ Premier, though Just Blaze can pull off a hell of an argument for that crown. Though Kanye is hip hop enough to never wear those disrespectful glasses (see above). Finding Forever coming soon.
COMMON f/ DWELE – THE PEOPLE (prod by The New Primo)
This is street radio
For unsung hero
Riding in the Regal
Trying to stay legal
My daughter found Nemo
I found the new Premo
Yeah you know how we do
We do it for the people
And the struggle of the brothers and the folks
The lovers of the dope, experiment to discover hope
Scuffle for notes, the rougher I wrote times were harder
Went from rockin’ Starter to the voice of a martyr
While white folks focus on dogs and yoga
The people on the low end trying to ball and get over
Lyrics are like liquor for the fallen soldier
From the bounce to the ounce it’s all our culture
Everyday we hustling, tryna get them custom rims
Law we aint trusting them, thick broads we lusting them
Sick and tired of punching in, I look on the bus at them
When I see them struggling, I think how I’m touching them
