new: the roots - 75 bars (black's reconstruction)
so apparently, mr. young-carter-weezy admitted that he has a problem with syrup... whoa, back up... last month he was convicted of possession of ecstasy, cocaine, and marijuana, but his biggest drug problem is with...syrup? just to make one thing straight, robo-trippin is not and never will be cool... even in middle school it was lame, so i don't know how admitting this adverse addiction will effect him. you can read on about this 'tragic' tale of fixation here.
so i'm always on the hunt for some new and solid hip hop. while on my hunt i bumped into anthony j. shears. it's nothing ground-breaking, but i feel that it is well-worth of knowing. you can listen to all his songs and even buy his album, "the growth: my endtroduction," right here. i would highly recommend to check out the track "tears in your eyes" (both the orginal and the parachute version). it's the only song that can make coldplay's the scientist and the pretenders' i'll stand by you close to hip hop.
for your convenience, however, you can take a listen to snippets of his tracks right below:
