Southren rap album of the week – Koopsta knicca: The mind of robert Cooper

We haven’t had a whole lot of posts here lately, and I need a blantant excuse to do my new section, the down south rap album of the week. I hope to do this every saturday or sunday. Ganked and gaffled from my $20 game of the week, the focus here is to take a look at some good albums comming from a very underappreciated reigon in hip hop, the south. They may not be as complex as some of your west and east coast favorites, but they contribute a lot more to the rap game and music and general than someone people would realize or want to admit. I won’t talk your head off, but here we go.

And who better to kick off a section about an underappreciated reigon in music than one of it’s most underapprecriated artists, more so an ex member of one of the most underapprecriated groups in rap? Koopsta Knicca is an ex member of the memphis group, 3 – 6 mafia. he was kicked out the group shortly after “when the smoke clears” was released in 2000, and has released several albums since then. THis is his 4th album since leaving the group, and his material gets better with every release, although he has a bad habit of recycling old material. (THis release contains 3 songs from last year’s ‘the inevitable’) Although he is angry about not getting much radio play and being overshadowed by his former group mates, he is definently more mature about the situation. Tracks to check out here are ‘Life in bondage’, ‘wanksta’, ‘Becuase of you’, and ‘everlast’. In the liner notes it says to look out for Devil’s playground volume 2. I hope he can keep himself out of trouble long enough, becuase I’ll be looking forward to it.
