The Art of Rap

I really dug the documentary Art of Rap primarily because of how slick and clever some of the rhymes were. They really impressed me.  I kind of earned more respect for rap in general after hearing some of those freestyles. I guess I've just been blinded to a lot of quality rap that is out there because at one point all of the rap I was hearing was just vulgar, offensive, garbage like Lil Wayne and Kanye West. Those guys really turned me off to rap, because they are so much worse than the people I heard in this documentary. The guys in the documentary were so smooth that listening to their rhymes was like drinking a smoothie.

Snoop Dogg Reincarnated

The documentary we watched over Snoop Dogg I found to be entertaining, and I slightly gained more respect for him. Though I didn't really like some of the new reggae music he was trying to pull off (because I thought it just sounded like a slower paced rap), I found it very fitting for Snoop Dogg to go to Jamaica and absorb the Rastafarian culture. The fact that he changed his name from Snoop Dogg to Snoop Lion kind of annoyed me though, because Snoop Dogg DEFINITELY looks more like a dog. Unless of course he does that thing with his hair that makes him look like he has a mane, in which case Snoop Lion is more fitting.
