Muhammed Sissoho will be hosting a hip-hop/international music show on CIVL coming soon this fall semester. Expect the best of music from around the globe or your money back!
Mark Morrison ft. DMX – “Innocent Man”
DMX has been fighting with the law against various charges but he says in one of his latest songs (“Innocent Man”) that getting arrested does not make him guilty. Will this song convince DMX fans around the world that he is a changed man or set another landmark in his career as a unique artist?
Nas & Damian Marley – “Patience “
Nas and Damian went all the way in on the smartest dummies who can’t read the language of Egyptian mummies and fly to the moon but can’t find food for the starving tummies. They do not pay attention to the needs of the youths because it is not like the future depends on it but rather save animals in the zoo because the chimpanzees make big money. Nas goes hard with the truth being fed to the people, asking “Who wrote the Bible? Who wrote the Qur’an? And was it a lightning storm that gave birth to the Earth and then dinosaurs were born? Damn who made up words? Who made up numbers? And what kind of spell is mankind under?” The lyrical content of this content is deep and asks a lot of vital questions that need urgent answer.
Rihanna ft. Mikky Ekko – “Stay“
With just piano as the beat of the song, Rihanna and Mikky Ekko use their strong vocals and melody to tie in this moving piece of art that speaks about going round and round in a relationship. What they really want is for their partner to stay even thought times are not favorable!
2Pac ft. T.I., Ashanti – “Pac’s Life”
Everybody talks about Tupac’s life if you are into hiphop, but this song asks us what we actually know about Tupac’s life. Google it! Tupac, in his own words, wants in on the good life with fine wine, to dine with the beautiful ladies and fancy cars, but this is not what he is all about. He advocates for people to be real to themselves so they can be real to others. At the end of the day you are never disappointed by his music unless he intended it.
