Looking for suggestions.
I wish this didn’t sound so “racist”, and if you knew me and my background, you would now without a doubt that I don’t mean it the way it might sound. But I’ve always said that I don’t mind white boys being angry, but angry black guys always unnerve me because I feel like I can’t help but feel like I’m the one they are angry at. I kinda laugh, but I’m not sure if I should. So I always make the half serious joke that “I like my white boy music angry, and my black music laid back and easy going.”
There was a classic era of hip hop that I absolutely LOVE. Really mellow peaceful stuff like Arrested Development, De La Soul, P.M. Dawn....etc. And it’s not JUST that it’s mellow, it also feels more organic than a lot of modern day stuff feels. The Roots is actually a band I really love for their organic feel.
Are there any modern day rap artists that are going for the more “organic and laid back....peace love” approach? Because I dont think I could ever get enough of that.
