Friends check out my network of other aspiring hip hop artists, producers and writers.
I want to connect with you personally and give further insight on what I am about. FIF GANG is definitely more than just a crew or clique. It is a movement, a HIPHOP movement. It all started with the acronym F.irst I.n F.light originating from NC's Historical Slogan and of course "GANG" representing a group fighting for the same cause.
And i'm very excited to be influential in changing the world's outlook on HIPHOP as 2007 proved to be a trying year for our culture, this year is the response to all the hell we went through last year. I think we should give them hell back, until it feels like HEAVEN ... We can all stand in the heat together .. REFINED .. RENEWED .. REVIVED .. HIPHOP IS ALIVE!!!!!
So feel free to open your mind to this new movement, and become it.
1. Just Now - This song has the hiphop feel that is missing in the game 2day, that feel good "CYPHER" type music. Remember getting into a rap cypher with other mc's and everyone spits ?. . . it is that feel. This song will grab you and it is a leak of what is to come in the future.
2. Why Don't We Fall in Love - This is a Gangsta/Romantic Love Song . . . This is another genre of hiphop that I feel the game is lacking. So I wanted to bring it forth, there is nothing wrong with expressing this emotion as long as you keep it 100. So, it is specified for the "LADIES, you will love it" but also for the fellas because it sets the mood 4 you to holla @ her, so YOU will feel this song as well.
Drop's thoughts on today's articles ((Lupe Fiasco performs paris tokyo, Boot Camp Clik new shit, & LiL Wayne performs in NJ))
i was hoping that "paris tokyo" would be lupe fiasco's next single. thats wassup. I think it will move him to gold status, hell maybe even platinum. he did his thing on jay leno
I'm feelin boot camp clik's energy especially with the WORLDWIDE track. RIP BIGGIE SMALLS
and i dont know wassup with lil wayne. I mean, i dont get why he was crawling on his knees during birdman's part to "we taking over" ... dats some skeptical type shit. If i was in the crowd i would've tapped someone on the arm and been like "yo, wassup with that?" i dont know wats good wit lil wayne but he's making it real hard for me to be a fan.
