The Top 5 Reasons Why Missy Elliott Should NOT be Included in Best Ever Lists
Lil’ Wayne has remarked that Missy Elliott is his number artist in his best ever list. Though she may have spaced out lyrics and funky, spontaneous flows, Missy Elliott will forever be known for her boundary-pushing videos. Even with the words she puts down, they add up to very little in the way of true lyricism. Her talent lies in shock value and grabbing attention. That’s about it.

RF: Mase Fires Blanks from a Machine Gun in New Diss Song Against Diddy
In totally unnecessary rap- diss- song news, Pastor Mason Betha decided to chide his former boss, Sean “Diddy” Combs. He blasts off rounds that seem to pierce through Diddy’s character-armor, but none of his bars relate to live rounds in the song "Oracle 2: Standing on Bodies."

February was a really slow month, sure a couple of albums were released by well-known artists and rappers but in the underground world most people (probably you) didn't know these two artists dropped their long-awaited album and I got to hear it more than two or three times and right now I am telling you this, so you would have the same opportunity to listen to these albums. and the details and rating given to the album is within my own personal decision and my personal opinion (want to make that clear to people who get offended by it)

Loving The Game
Today I had the pleasure of checking out the newly released song from D.A. (also known under the performance name of Most Official), entitled "Loving The Game." To understand the piece and the journey more completely, let me share a little about the artist. D.A. and I crossed paths on the 'gram, as with most musicians I connect with, and while talking about artist services, he shared his unique and incredible journey with his life's passion: music. D.A. is an independent artist from the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area of Minnesota with a long and impressive past in the industry. In 2008, as Most Official, he placed second out of over 30,000 entrants in the Loud.com competition, scored a record contract with SRC/Universal, eventually exited that contract, took a break from the business to pursue life, and is now back with a ton of head knowledge and more than an ounce of heart learning. As a seasoned hip-hop artist influenced by the heavy hitters and greats of the '90s, you'll hear that vibe, energy, and sound come through in all of his work. "Loving The Game" is no outlier from his signature, sharing a focused message that hip-hop is not dead.

Prior to the release, Apollo had released several singles over the past year and picked up substantial momentum as he witnessed his fan base grow.

During the process of recording and releasing “Classified”, there were trials and tribulations during the creation, as with many artists.

However, with a bit of determination they were able to create some very innovative and catchy songs together! Another noteworthy song from the album, “Trapped in the Bottle”, holds serious weight for Apollo and is based off true experiences and the struggles of addiction, experienced by himself and those around him. Additionally, the song can relate to those all over the world struggling with addiction. Apollo aspires to assist people that are going through the toxic behavior of addiction and he knows how hard it can be to lessen the ties of toxicity. Additionally, Apollo installed and refurbished a room in his house in order to build a recording studio, enhancing the audio when recording. He also uses it as a free space for other artists without expendable means of money to come and benefit from it’s use, as a way to give back to other upcoming independent artists in his community. He himself has had to endured trials and tribulations through his music career and daily day to day life, he then channels those experiences to make music that others can relate too. He strides to be the best he can be on and off of the music scene. Apollo wants to show his fans that it does not matter what your background is, when you have a dream and you’re determined to fulfill it, anything is possible!

The overall message that he intends to appoint to his audience is that he wants his listeners to foresee what can be accomplished when you be yourself. Always stay true to who you are. He aspires that listeners discover songs and styles that flow and speak to them. In hopes people can find that in “Apollo Music”. Going through life, adversity and hardships will be presented. However, you can always keep your head up and never let anyone stand in the way of your dreams. He strides to continuously stay releasing story telling songs based off of his real life experiences in hopes it never stops speaking to and relating with his listeners. Just as he created a bond with other artists he looked up to and listened to in the industry, he hopes to build that same connection with his fans over the course of his career, as he has already done with so many people and continues to do.
