// It's a shame that the hip hop scene is represented by so many idiots and bad artists that people generalize and paint the whole genre as noise. You just have to sift through the rubble to find the diamonds in the rough; sometimes, you have to go a bit farther than you'd think... \\
I wonder why people tend to question the existence of pain, as though it doesn't make sense that a God who supposedly loves us would do such a terrible thing like allow suffering. If life was being in a state of constant bliss and euphoria, with nothing to dampen our hearts and minds, how then could we appreciate how beautiful life really is?
8:45 Heaven. A pleasant departure from all that swag talk that's become to new annoying catchy thing to say OVER AND OVER AND OVER again. I don't really know how to go about describing this song. It's undoubtedly laden with such raw emotion that, even before I read the translation, tears threatened to well up unbidden as I sat there listening to the track. You can hear Tiger JK just let loose on the track with his sorrow and frustration at the loss of his grandmother, and nothing in it sounds hollow or forced. People talk down about Drunken Tiger's music since DJ Shine's departure from the group, but JK proves that he's a strong solo artist here with this baring of his heart and soul for all to see.
It's not your normal rap fare, but diversity is a good thing, especially in the musical community. It vitalizes the scene, keeps things from becoming stale, repetitive. It's also another indication that the hip hop community worldwide should turn their attentions away from mainly focusing on the United States, which has fallen into such a slump as of late, and perhaps look abroad. Talent is international.
