History Alan Lee Keyes's History of Hiphop
Posted by Charles Mudede on Thu, May 28, 2009 at 2:38 PM
At number three of the five of the most intelligent hiphop tracks in history? Intelligent Hoodlum's "Grand Groove."
Not only is it intelligent (accurate rhymes, great autobiographical detail, meaningful statements), it also reaches a depth of feeling that ultimately breaks the rapper from his primary level of life experiences (the streets, racism, with class struggle) and connects him to a profound stream of humanism, a hiphop humanism. You can feel the pull of his real.
