Let’s Talk about the GRAMMYS 2016

MY MUSIC MONDAY – Let’s talk about the GRAMMYS… How are you all doing this amazing but hot Monday morning? It is obvious the Ozone layer has finally depleted, I feel like I’m being cooked… nah! deep fried alive! Anyway, hope your weekend was amazing? MY MUSIC MONDAY is here again and our connoisseur has some sweet gist for us about the 58th Grammy Awards that took place last week.

Let’s talk about the rap album of the year for 2016 Grammys

Hiyaaa *waving* The 58^th Grammys has come and gone and thank God Africa got one in person of Angelique Kidjo, the legendary singer from Benin Republic. We keep waiting on the edge of our seats for the first Nigerian that’s gonna bring it home as history would be made. Now let’s switch up readers…

*singing* Every nigga is a star… that’s how the rap album of 2016 Grammys starts and the award goes to K-dot! a.k.a. Kendrick Lamar (front-liner for Top Dawg Entertainment) who also bagged four other awards unlike last year. Fellow album nominees are, 2014 Forest Hills Drive by J.Cole, If Your Reading This It’s Too Late by Drizzy Drake, Compton by Dr Dre and Pink Print by Nicki Minaj.

Great year already, innit dawg for Kendrick? Mostly because it’s gonna make him go harder which would result in him blessing his real fans who gonna stand with him whether he switches up styles like Jesse Jagz or stay static like Mode-nine.

Now to the discussion of the day which is, “2014 Forest Hills Drive, a better album”? Done by the man who idolises Nas, the legend by name J.Cole and as Kanye would put it, “and what does it take to be a legend like Nas is’’? That question was actually popped to me by my Gee @kakimun_ who feels Cole’s album was a more shiznit than Kendrick. So I decided to put two good friends who have a collaborative album to drop this year side by side. Also just to state that I got both albums and so can say something tangible and correct based on subjectivity.

Jermaine Cole’s third studio album dropped on the 9^th of December 2014 by Dreamville, Roc Nation and Columbia Records. The title is connected to the name of his childhood address where he lived with his mum, brother and stepfather. The album is a 13 tracker that has been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) as of January 2016 and has picked couple of awards for best rap album. I actually picked interest in it not just because I’m a HUGE fan but for apparently the first single I watched on Soundcity which made me conclude I was gonna get it. On that record he talked about his childhood home been foreclosed, then apologized to his momma and his girlfriend for being absent in their lives while going to chase dreams in New York City.

Also another worthy note that makes it a classic album to me is because he brought out his lyricism to our faces on January 28^th adding some rhymes making it a timeless piece. If that track and Love yours doesn’t encourage you niccuh, then you sure need some divine aid. Then Wet dreams was the usual Cole telling us in his poetic form some story about a girl he crushed on with some fat ass. Fire Squad basically talks about how niggas brag but act like a hoe while being scared to make moves unlike him who took the bull by the horn. G.O.M.D which stands for ‘Get Off My D**k’, spits about how he fears no one and how he’s the best kept secret via Hov. I really love the part where he goes, “I wanna go back to Jermaine lemme tell you bout it’’. Then the next great record on the album should be the one that goes, “don’t save her, she don’t wanna be saved’’ titled No Role Models. Lol… that’s harsh Cole but like the cliché, “heaven helps those who help themselves’’. And then the Note To Self, the outro was really touching especially the part that goes, “love you mommaaaaaaaaa’’.

Gotta give it to the kid because the album is balanced with inspirational lines, realistic tendencies, bitter truth, some bragging lines, the ego boosting lines and to cap it all great samples.

Next week ama write on the album that won. In other news thank you all for your birthday wishes, I really appreciate:*:*:* FF me on –
