K. Sparks – Hip Hop President.

I always avoid politics, but this week’s K. Sparks track is fire. He links up with another unknown European producer, this time Kurser of France, with great results. Sparks’ explanation:

I wrote this song from the perspective of myself running for the position of Hip Hop President…most people are aware that not only is the economy in a recession, but so is Hip Hop…album sales continue to suffer, while certain rappers(old and young)continue to put out terrible albums when they should retire…I have the utmost respect for the Hip Hop pioneers that paved the way for us…however,there are certain artist that have seen their day and although they have had their time to shine, they refuse to step down and let the next generation take over…I feel a song like this is long over due…most artist talk about this when I see them, but they are too shook to make a song like this because they are dick riders and puppets in this industry…but to be honest I never gave a fuck so here you have it…the undisputed truth…so who ever is presently in office putting out tired ass albums while killing the Hip Hop industry, step down.

He articulates it a lot better in the song. The beat samples Barry talking about the economy which with the ominous beat makes him sound kind of Palpatine-ish.
