Everybody, I am begging all of you to go out and buy the self-titled Slaughterhouse album out tomorrow!! I'm writing this on the fly, so forgive me if it's not well structured, but this is important for hip hop because if they sell well then maybe, just maybe, people will follow suit, bringing back what is important in hip hop; some lyricism. Yes, there is definitely room for party songs and everything, but we have been so over-saturated with those type songs that we need to bring lyricism back to the forefront. Just like when people realized money could be made from making songs that would get spun in the club just because the beat was nice, may now realize that lyricists can once again bring in big numbers in record sales. As Slaughterhouse drops their album, Andre 3000 and Big Boi working on their albums, Jay-Z's Blueprint 3 coming out, and others, we could finally see hip hop getting back to what it once was. This can only happen if we see these type of artists get the type of sales that they deserve. Please go out and buy the album for hip hop's sake! Buy some for your friend, your uncle, your brother (or sister), whoever. Just make sure that real hip hop gets the respect it deserves. Let's bring it back. I haven't been so excited about an album in a very, very, very long time. Unlike the same few artists that continue to basically carry hip hop on their back, relatively new and/or not-as-well-known artists are making hip hop exciting again. I really do see this as a turning point. Support real hip hop!


Peace.
