The Rhythm By Kwame

At one point, Kwame become a living punchline for most rappers. Understandably so , as he was the man who attempted to popularize polka dots in hip hop. While his later work was pretty garbage, people often overlook his debut album “The Boy Genius” which is actually pretty good. He was like a second rate Special Ed in that he was young and charismatic beyond his years (though Ed was light years better at rapping).
This song is one of those smooth , upbeat joints that no one in their right mind would dream of making nowadays. Kinda Kwame’s forte on this album, actually. Remember when rappers were kinda happy? Fucking weird, right?
this happy shit reminds me…please tell me i’m not hallucinating and that Young MCs Stone Cold Ryhmin is also a forgotten masterpiece. sure, he rolls his Rs in almost every song for no real reason, but…but…
It’s true. Young MC could actually rap pretty well.
ill give you “nastee” but “a day in the life” was pretty solid production-wise.
A tad too new jack swing-ish for my tastes but I’d imagine if it dropped now it would the best album of the year.
