Arjaye Jeter - Rapxploitation [VIDEO]

Sorry Nerds! I've been on a hiatus. Third quarter of Junior year has been fucking VEXATIOUS. I've hardly gotten to listen to the stuff in my inbox! (I'm slowly sifting through it and mass writing as you read this.) Luckily, 4th quarter is here, and hopefully, that means that the school work will lighten up, but if it doesn't (because my teachers can be overbearing assholes), there's only 8 weeks left of school for me! After that, I'm an internet blogger almost full time. Today, I have this joint by Chicago rapper, Arjaye Jeter. The smooth boom bap beat is produced by Thelonius Martin. The video is filmed by Hatwood312. All of those kids are part of some new Chicago media team called Chillville. I'm really digging the song. It's pretty simple, and simplicity can be such elegance sometimes. The video is pretty typical, but it's cool. The only thing that angers me is the horrible promotion strategy. They paid whatever amount of money for 20k+ fake views. That's the wrong way to do things and it just looks stupid when you only have 2 comments and like 13 likes. Just a tip to you artists out there: pay for real promotion and PR, not just botviews and subscribers The song tho: 3.6 Nerd Contemplations out of 5 Follow @ArjayeJetter on Twitter Follow me on twitter @WaverlySpades

Death Comes In 3's - Dave Amazin

What's up? It's the original black nerd aka the first black man to recieve the Galaxy S4 (not to date) aka the Blacker Hacker aka Bill Nye's 2nd cousin, but you mig ide Chicago emcee, Dave Amazin. The name already has me intrigued. How could I not listen? It starts out with a great acapella "Disclaimer." It sounds a bit like a suicide note to me. From the intro alone, it sounds like Dave Amazin is a dead guy and this was his last mixtape and this is interesting. It's a  mysterious person that I want to know about now. Then, his music starts. Dave Amazin has some pretty great lyrics. Some really reach the pith of my mindset and thinking. This mixtape has somewhat the wrecklessness of a person who knows they're about to die (but not a suicidal one!), but still can transfer to introspective. The few original beats on hear are amazing. Dave Amazin is a very intriguing intellect. The downside of this mixtape is some of the quality/mixing. His flow needs to get a bit more steady sometimes. The cartoon and movie samples make me really happy. Overall, this tape is good and I see potential in this kid..
