    Where rap should be going but... (Alternative Title: How we should keep Bill Cosby's head from exploding)

    Killa Cam'ron was never known to relate to the common man and most of the time just raps about himself. Yet somehow last year he did the opposite and gave us a great song that I will consider 2009's best song.

     


    Cam'ron - I Hate My Job / NEW
    Uploaded by PeteRock. - Watch more music videos, in HD!

    In the midst of America's recession, Cam'ron rhymes a picture that everyone can relate do whether or not they have been hit by the Economic Turmoil monster with "My Job." While only 2 verses and so-so production, he was able to capture every thought of what we think when we are either: Working a job that we can barely make meet ends with, or finding oneself trying to adjust back into society with a criminal record. Even more out of character for Cam'ron was that he spits the first verse in a woman's perspective. While Cam'ron is probably the last person to be a Woman's Rights activist, he does rhyme with empathy:

    Why am I working here? It ain't working here
    It ain't worth it here, never gonna persevere
    Ain't no money for new shoes or purses here
    Should've done my first career (huh) nursing yeah
    Now I'm sitting here thinking 'bout the work I put in
    This verse from the everyday working woman

    Being straightforward with his rhymes its still has the cynical punchlines that makes you laugh but cringe at the same time cause either:

    You've gone through it at one point in time, or

    You are going through this right now.

     

     

    Why do i mention this? Cause rap should be this honest more often. Also cause we still have stupid Cuss like this:

    Lil' B - Like a Martian

     

    Instead of going through a whole essay rant, Imma do my best impression of my one liner standup comedian:

    "Lil' B huh? I bet the "B" stands for Brain cause he used up all the 20 words in his vocab in this song"

    HEYOOOO!

    "Hey 1998 called, They want you to stop using Lil' as your prefix rap name"

    HEYOOOO!

    "So you tellin a B*tch she is gonna suck your D#ck but then you are "Now a pretty B*tch, b*tch. So you are rapping about yourself masturbating?"

    HEYOOOO!

    "Why do you have foil on your bike? Trying to keep your bike from rusting?"

    HEYOOO!

    "While you were filming on your padio, Your mom just called and said to turn it down"

    HEYOOO!

    "Some iPhone you got there. But if you are such a baller, can't you fork up some dough for a 3g version?"

    HEYOOO!

    "Hey bud, I guess you found your way around pushing buttons on that Fruity Loops of yours?"

    HEYOOO!

    "Obama just saw your video. After seeing that he is cutting the arts in film department for Community colleges"

    HEYOOO!
