Where have I been??

Ok so today I ran across some GOOD or shall I say absolutely amazing music. I dont even understand how I could of missed this the whole time. I mean how can I even say that I am a Hip Hop fan and not know about this genius! Sure Ive heard his name a few times, and I definitely have rocked out to a bunch of his beats, but I didn't realize who he was. Who is this music man I speak of? JDilla! AMAZING in all capitals! I ran across his track buy on projectplaylist.com. For 3 hours after that I just kept researching and researching, realizing this guy fits right in with what my soul enjoys.
From him I was then put on to Slum Village. Being that I was born in Detroit, and lived there for most of my childhood, how could I have missed this group. Many freakin mainstream... Im goin sideways and underground for my music choices. Apparently that where they hide all the treasures. Slum Village had a few tracks that I was aware of that I had just forgotten all about, pushed them under the rug of my teenage years of trashy music and radio ears. What I love most about these artists is their ability to take a classic song remake it, then tell a story that keeps you holding on to the very last cord of instrument playing. Should I call it story telling, or soul music preaching? Lyrical madness in a world of music garbage!I get so excited when I am awakened to real music. The feeling in my soul, vibrating. I swear my soul loves real Hip Hop that speaks to the masses, that tells a story of how someone made it out. Where they were and where they are made them into how they are now. I love the hypnotic beats and soulful voices. The metaphors and similes, its poetry in motion!
