lo siento pero, not everyone can be a rapper in this world of ours...

So, I'm at Borders with my sister because I wanted a quick bite from their cafe joint before we headed out to Zumba class. Waiting for my cold beverage & munching on my lemon bar, the barrista man comes up to me & my sis and is like, "Do y'all like hip hop?" I'm just like,

oh no. not another one of those...

His stage name is Jinx. He did a track that same morning with his main mans that sings or whatever. He gets his ipod so that my sis and I can have a listen.

Knowing me, I'm the first to judge when it comes to musical ability. It's the music geek that's innate in me. So you can't blame a sister for wanting to hate off the bat! But I was in a good mood that day. I actually wanted to give this guy a shot.

Clicks play. Blasts the track at the highest volume.

First of all, the production and sound quality actually wasn't bad at all. However...the hook was way too long. Singer man just took Aaliyah's first line of the first verse in 1 in a million and changed the words up and repeated the melody for a good minute 30. Ok, ok...a slow jam for the ladies....hmm...not so much.

Jinx was a real nice dude. pero, lo siento hombre (but, I'm sorry man). Yelling over a slow jam isn't hip hop. I couldn't even decipher what your flow was dude! Like, seriously. What sound were you going for?

One thing that I've noticed that I don't really like/ don't consider hip hop. The overuse of SIMILES.

like like like like like like like like = lack in creativity.

&& That's all that dude did! Whole time!

"I'm not Mario, I'm not tryna break up." = wacksauce!!!

This is what gave me a breath of fresh air later that afternoon.

Full Blown Extended Update on Andrew 'Drew Kid' Flores Coming Soon.
