the introduction

let me be the first to say this. if at all you feel offended at me writing in lower case letters, this isn't the blog for you. resort to someone, thing, else. excuse me for my broken grammar but we're in a age where text messaging lingo is the norm (wrd 2 muta!). i only offer an insight into my mind as a ponder what ifs and other random thought bubbles. oh yeah, by the way i call myself the Critical Critic (should be easy enough to say). i'm starting this blog off as a dedicated chapter in the on going coverage of hip-hop history. who knows, though, if it will venture off into something else. only time and maybe a warning from me will tell. i grew up on hip-hop, listen to it daily, and forever search for that lost track i may have not heard the first go round. i'm 21 years young (bet you that caught you off guard!), from the "dirty south" (let the hate begin) giving my views on upcoming releases, mixtapes, news and other things hip-hop. oh yeah rap, too (i distinguish a difference, believe me). so as i start my blogging career and end this post i like to start off with something for the masses. this isn't the first hip-hop song i ever remembered, but the first song i took the time to remember by writing down all the words to it. my big bro had the cassette single of OutKast's "Elevators (Me & You)" (yes, some things are worthy of capital letters), the debut single from their opposite-of-a sophomore jinx album ATLiens. they weren't my favorite group at the time to write their lyrics word-for-word, but the instrumental was hypnotic and the words were flowing smoothly on the beat. i later had to find myself re-wording certain nouns & verbs in the song cause i didn't get it the first time. currently, they are my all-time favorite group, and i believe this is what kick started that notion.
