Dynamic, Multi-Talented Creator Amir Royale Releases Emotionally Powerful Single “People Say”
From Amir Royale “People Say” is a testament to a different me. A different place and time from today that not only myself — but everyone fathoms — at least once. It doesn’t exist today, it doesn’t exist tomorrow. Maybe it’s been a year since it’s events—maybe the events are currently happening — maybe they are yet to happen or never will. The confusion of it all is the reason why I'm showing it to you. It’s the reason why I'm alone and by myself with the tools I've always thought could best help me explain what keeps happening to me. And as always, from an honest place — I love you for taking the time to be here and listen. At least for right now. Tah, tah — my darlings.

The Logistics of the Rap Crown
The rap crown is arguably the most desired accolade in music history. Since rap music became mainstream so has its top spot. Now that rap music is one of the most influential aspects of pop culture, it is more coveted than ever. It’s customary for every rapper to think that the top spot belongs to them, but it’s usually the general consensus that they need to put in some work before they can truly justify their place at the top. Rappers that fans often indicate as top tier and deserving of that spot include Eminem, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Biggie, Tupac, Lil Wayne, Nas and many others. Some people think that the crown is simply transferred from one rapper to another after a certain period of time, others think that it has to be earned and once it is acquired, someone better has to come along to take it.

Boom Bap and the Pro Era Effect
For many, boom bap is synonymous with real hip hop and is one of the only forms that truly encapsulates the genre. Even with the young genre continuing to grow and dominate popular music, these fans still remain persistent in their desire for raw beats that call back to the 90s. Boom bap was popularized in hip hop in the 90s and is revered as one of the staples of the East Coast hip hop movement. It's the combination of a bass drum on downbeats and a snare on the upbeats, but even without a specific or lengthy explanation, listeners know boom bap when they hear it. And hearing it in 2000s always introduces a sort of nostalgia for older, East Coast records.

A Collective Memorandum
At some point, you have to ask yourself whether or not this whole life thing is a joke. Every day, we wake up in another episode of one big fat sitcom together. Sometimes, there will be a whole lot of chuckles, in other moments, things might get serious. Today may not be the best day of our lives, but tomorrow is something to look forward to, even if it isn’t guaranteed. We spend most of our time on this Earth constantly searching for purpose, trying to top our previous endeavor, and proving all those who stood against us, pejoratively wrong (regardless of whether that’s the right thing to do). Yet, a huge question that always arises once we think we’ve done it all is, “What’s next?” You see, we might all be a part of the same hit television show, but no one in the industry seemed to care enough to pass out scripts for us to follow. Depending on our travels, the answer to our questions can be dark ones—if not a twisted form of funny—because all in all, no one can tell us our futures. But, “all good jokes contain true shit,” and who would I be to not laugh along?
