Gifted Gab & Blimes Brixton - Come Correct [Video]

Ya'll...it's 2018. Probably time to stop referring to women who rap as "female rappers" or "femcees". OK? If you go to a restaurant and the head chef is a female, do you say your meal was cooked up by a "female chef" or that you're eating "female food"? Let's move past gender, race, religion and all those other illusions put in place to keep us divided.

Bars are bars. Does not matter if they are coming from a female or a male - dope is dope, whack is whack. Let's focus on the music and not the private parts of the human fucking being supplying the content. Besides, your physical is just a vessel for your spirit, homie. Get yo' chakras right! We all gotta acknowledge and balance our masculine and feminine energies anyway...that's right, fellas - you got a little divine feminine in you, too.

So respect it.

This is a topic of conversation I feel rather passionate about. Not because I'm woke but because Rapsody has been my favorite emcee for years now. When engaged in conversation with some of my friends and associates regarding the best/top/dopest emcees, Queen Rap tops my list...and, almost without fail, some non-woke individual feels inclined to correct me: no, not your favorite female emcee...who's your favorite emcee?

In the words of the great Vickie Guerrero, EXCUSE ME!?

We aren't out here talking about Kendrick or Drake or Hov or Pac or any emcee with a dick and referring to them as a male emcee. So why in the bluest of hells are we so desperate to attach an unnecessary "female" when talking about women who spit?

Anyway, Gifted Gab is dope. And she's not "dope for a female rapper". Gab is dope...point-blank period, dope. So is Blimes Brixton.

I've covered both these artists in the past and it's great to see them link on "Come Correct". Over the course of roughly two and a half minutes, the artists pass the mic back and forth, trading bars over the smooth, ambient production. I love the raw confidence on display in their lyrics, which juxtaposes beautifully with their laid back demeanor and flow.

I'm not sure if Gab and Brixton were going for the Jay and Silent Bob vibe with the visual experience, but "Come Correct" certainly draws some comparisons. I'm digging the simplistic nature of the video - the shots are pretty straight forward, allowing the lyrics to take center stage.

Rudy - No Time

God willing, each and every person birthed into this world will grow up. Some of us may reach an old age, some of us may be called home earlier than others - but, in some form or fashion, we all will grow older. It's a funny thing, the way our society perceives age. In some cultures, the elders are held to the highest esteem - for they are the ones with the knowledge and experience to hold true wisdom. While many in our society praise youth and the physical beauty associated with being young, it is only through the experience of living life that one learns about the world, and in turn, has the capability to learn about their own being. And still, we tend to look down upon those who have been blessed to experience a long, full life. Perhaps it's because so many "old" people seem to live a life of regret, looking back on their youth with a mind full of "what ifs" and "should haves". While young individuals are rushing to reach maturity,
