Blue Scholars - Cinemetropolis

Just got word of this: The Blue Scholars, a great hip-hop duo from Seattle, Washington, U.S.A., just released their new album entitled "Cinemetropolis".

Featured on this album are completely original songs created by the scholars, featuring many underground hip-hop artists in collaboration.

For the people who've visited this blog regularly would probably notice the many posts I put up with single Blue Scholar songs, just to share the great tunes, and now here's an entire new set!

Please do not pirate or steal this album, the Blue Scholars are a home-grown hip-hop duo that would much appreciate your support. Support genuine hip-hop!

EDIT:

After taking a listen to the entire album, I notice that most of the songs bear the name of someone with a stand-out lifestyle or history. People who've gotten themselves noticed for standing up to shit they believed in.

To be completely honest, it just sounds like Geo got really bored and spent an entire day or 2 on wikipedia getting some ideas of people to write about (reminds me of a time... ) . Maybe not as lyrically satisfying as the older B.S. stuff, but all in it's own it's pieces of history smashed in a song, and for what history is worth it should be damn well satisfying enough.

I guess that's what a scholar is all about. Writing and interpreting someone else' experiences into a form that another person traveling in that path or relative can listen to and debate, learning and maybe finding an answer. Who knows, it's a theory (continued).
