Usually when I’m doing any type of writing.
The music I listen to hasn’t got vocals in it at all.
Why?
Cause when I get in the flow of things, then lyrics end up being peppered in and around whatever it that I’ve written.
But today was just a nice chill day going through an absolute gem of an album that I re-listen to purely because of the lyricism and word play.
Generally rap music gets a bad rap (lol) due to the nature of the lyrics and subject matter but honestly it’s just poetry with a beat.
Don’t get me wrong. You can’t slap a 90s boom bap beat on a Edgar Allan Poe poem and call it music but the sentiment is there.
Well. After I turned my brain into fantasy mush by re-watching all of the Lord of the rings and Harry Potter films, I had to just come back down to earth some way or the other.
And so Albert Einstein helped me out
There is no lesson here. It’s just music and something I thought I’d share.
Now go make with the Hip Hop and listen.
Cause when your head is stuck between Platform 9¾ and the dark and desolate realm located in the southeast, east of Gondor and the Anduin River aka Mordor.
And your attention is battling for Middle Earth.
Sometimes you just need a day to appreciate some music.
