I know the 25 year-old rapper from Compton,CA is not new to many, but he's new to a 40 plus dude like myself. NO, I'm not that weird old guy "trying" to be hip, but I vow never to be someone stuck "back in the day". I loved rap then, so why not now? Is it the belief that it's all Lil' Wayne and Rick Ross? To be honest, maybe, but I've been proven wrong as to that. Yeah, the gangsta stuff has continued and gone even further than I recall, but I'm partial to Lupe Fiasco and now find myself open to ASAP Rocky, Azealia Banks, Wiz Khalifa and Kendrick Lamar. This song, "Swimming Pools (Drank)", cautions the listeners to the pitfalls of drinking w/o being preachy. If you haven't, give Kendrick Lamar a listen. By the way, his new release "Good Kid, Maad City" is due in October.
