I feel like it has been a while since Urban Culture has been even allowed to breathe, and I feel my Public Service Announcement is you can't tip Houston's Song like a Cow! I keep seeing J. Cole flip through Mike Jones's "Still Tippin' " like a Flipbook, and that doesn't do Houston or Urban Cultures Justice.
Actually, it does it an injustice. We used to eat Urban Culture like Trick or Treat Candy and that bucket went empty when the economy went to Hades and that has not recovered. I feel like Houston generally is further removed from Rural Communities in Texas, more so than Dallas even, which that County has never registered an Oil Well in their County Ever.
People like Drake usurp Houston's Culture and they get angry about it. Nobody necessarily wants to go all the way back to the Bling Bling Era, but, I feel that they'd either go heavy on the style, heavy on the substance, or nothing on the other. It would be like how Coach Royal always had a 20-20 Playbook on Offense because it was 20 Plays Run and 20 Plays Pass.
That would get over people's heads because Texas and Texas A and M still are Paternalistic more than Materialistic and that is how SMU still has a Hold in Inner Cities across America. I am not a Professor or Play Teacher, as too much of something would have us worn out.
If it was Geto Boys "Mind Playing Tricks on Me" that alone would make a good Rap City or 106. You can't hopscotch Mike Jones and not spare him other things other than Overdrafts and Prison, and we have an equal to the 1960's and the 1970's and not everyone is into Throwback Jerseys, Sports History or Voting or Political Movements.
What about the People that want to enjoy their Weekends?
