And—although some of these verses and songs host that energy, if you still want to stay at home, put on a pair of headphones, and dissect <em>bars</em>, don’t worry; this year gifted us a lot of great rap verses, too. From introspective efforts like Kendrick Lamar’s “Mother I Sober” and Che Noir’s “Communion” to more playful offerings like Tyler, the Creator’s verse on Pharell’s “Cash In, Cash Out,” there’s been a little something for everyone this year.</p> <p>After counting down the 50 best <a href="https://www.complex.com/music/best-albums-2022/" target="_self" rel="noopener">albums</a> and <a href="https://www.complex.com/music/best-songs-of-2022/" target="_self" rel="noopener">songs</a> of the year, we narrowed our focus on the top 30 rap verses of the year. These are the verses that we’ve returned to over and over since we first heard them. To make room for more voices and styles, we limited ourselves to just one verse per artist. Without further ado, <strong>these are the 30 best rap verses of 2022.</strong></p> </div> <p><br /> <br /><a href="https://www.complex.com/music/best-rap-verses-2022/">Source link </a></p> <p> <a rel="follow" href="http://megatheme.ir/" title="قالب وردپرس">قالب وردپرس</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://freshestfm.com/the-best-rap-verses-of-2022-cardi-b-kendrick-lamar-lil-wayne-more/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Jay-Z Shares Extensive Playlist Featuring Favorite Songs of 2022</title> <link>https://freshestfm.com/jay-z-shares-extensive-playlist-featuring-favorite-songs-of-2022/</link> <comments>https://freshestfm.com/jay-z-shares-extensive-playlist-featuring-favorite-songs-of-2022/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[SOURCE]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 15 Dec 2022 02:59:12 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[21-savage]]></category> <category><![CDATA[bad-bunny]]></category> <category><![CDATA[beyonce]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-music]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-music-hiphop]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-music-pop]]></category> <category><![CDATA[drake]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Featured]]></category> <category><![CDATA[future]]></category> <category><![CDATA[her-loss]]></category> <category><![CDATA[jay-z]]></category> <category><![CDATA[kendrick-lamar]]></category> <category><![CDATA[metro-boomin]]></category> <category><![CDATA[mr-morale-and-the-big-steppers]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Music]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[playlist]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sos]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sza]]></category> <category><![CDATA[tidal]]></category> <category><![CDATA[vince-staples]]></category> <category><![CDATA[year-end]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://freshestfm.com/jay-z-shares-extensive-playlist-featuring-favorite-songs-of-2022/</guid> <description><![CDATA[Jay-Z released his year-end playlist for Tidal, featuring 40 songs from artists such as Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and, of course, Beyoncé.

The traditional methods—radio, magazines, billboards, record stores, word of mouth—are still here, and they’ve been joined by new innovations like TikTok and playlists. Meanwhile, technology has also made it easier to make and distribute music than ever, and over 60,000 songs are uploaded to Spotify every day. As a result, it’s a little daunting to be a music fan right now, but anyone with enough patience to go digging will be rewarded with a vast amount of incredible new songs, especially if they look in the right places. </p> <p>That’s where we come in. As we reach the halfway point of 2022, the Complex Music staff came together to dig through all of the year’s new music and compile a list of our favorite songs so far.

With a laugh, he explained to Speedy Morman that only his loved ones (and court) know where he even lives. “Why would [anyone else] know where I live at?” he incredulously asked. </p> <p>His revelation could be nothing more than a character quirk, but it was a timely turn of conversation in the aftermath of his latest release, <em>Ramona Park Broke My Heart.</em> The sanctity of home is especially vital for Vince Staples, the Long Beach scribe whose candid lyrics depict the weariness of his hometown. His catalog makes the trenches of sunny Southern California feel dreary. Rhymes like “your first rap can be a murder rap” on<em> Ramona Park </em>opener “The Beach” cast a cloud over his surroundings, making one ponder how our perspectives are shaped by home not feeling like a sanctuary. </p> <p>Hip-Hop is obsessed with home. The first thing most people want to know about an act is where they’re from, because, even in 2022, their upbringing is a strong indication of their accent, slang, their production choices, and their content. The internet has birthed international SoundCloud and Discord communities full of artists who transcend region, but there are still MCs who flout their native cities’ flag without even trying. As a New York-based writer, I can tell Brooklyn drill from Bronx drill. On <em>Ramona Park </em>standout “East Point Prayer,” we hear the difference between Lil Baby’s Atlanta twang and Vince Staples’ hardened SoCal accent. </p> <p>Our communities mold us, but as Vince Staples laments, it’s not always for the best. The album intro, “The Beach,” starts out with the serene sounds of a calm day at the beach, but the silence is splintered by Vince rhyming about being an “everybody killer.” In other words, anybody can get it. The song ends with gunshots and screams. The juxtaposition is jarring. Transplants may visit LA to take in the lush atmosphere and expansive beaches, but for too many LA natives it’s “live by the gun, die by the sand,” like Vince rhymed on “Bang That.”</p> <p>The project’s soundscape carries a similar yin-yang dynamic, with a sunny, smooth soundscape ripe for cruising through LA and taking in the surroundings, juxtaposed with grim lyrics that remind how harrowing the wrong turn can be. The LeKen Taylor-produced “Free The Homies” is a balmy, synth-driven track that begins with a woman bemoaning how grief has angered her community, then takes us into the mindset of a gang member acting on vengeance. “In too deep, I ain’t with the peace/ Wanna end the beef? Tell them niggas, ‘Bring my homies back,’” Vince rhymes. It’s a simple premise that’s been said many times over in rap, tv, and movies, but it seems to cut with the same pathos each time we hear it. </p> </div> <p><br /> <br /><a href="https://www.complex.com/music/vince-staples-ramona-park-broke-my-heart-review-essay/">Source link </a></p> <p> <a rel="follow" href="http://megatheme.ir/" title="قالب وردپرس">قالب وردپرس</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://freshestfm.com/vince-staples-ramona-park-broke-my-heart-review-masterful-songs-about-home/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Vince Staples Releases New Album ‘Ramona Park Broke My Heart’</title> <link>https://freshestfm.com/vince-staples-releases-new-album-ramona-park-broke-my-heart/</link> <comments>https://freshestfm.com/vince-staples-releases-new-album-ramona-park-broke-my-heart/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[SOURCE]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 08 Apr 2022 07:58:04 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[dfp-music]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-music-hiphop]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Featured]]></category> <category><![CDATA[lil-baby]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Music]]></category> <category><![CDATA[mustard]]></category> <category><![CDATA[new-albums]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[tier-one]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ty-dolla-sign]]></category> <category><![CDATA[vince-staples]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://freshestfm.com/vince-staples-releases-new-album-ramona-park-broke-my-heart/</guid> <description><![CDATA[Long Beach rapper Vince Staples has shared his new album, Ramona Park Broke My Heart.
