It's Hiphop Tuesday, everybody.
So we have Jay-z, J. Holiday, J. Cole, now we have...J. Mars. Although, I wouldn't really put him beside those artists. This song is pretty old, but I heard it only a couple months back as recommended by a friend.
Now which branch of hiphop does he belong to? Definitely not hardcore rap, not gangsta, not mainstream (you know--the type that has a catchy hook, perfect for radio). I'd say this is like smoker hiphop. Yeah, I made that up but I can't think of anything more fitting. I have a whole playlist of these smoker hiphoppers even though I don't smoke.
The beat is great, the lyrics are eloquent and meaningful ("pussy" wordcount: zero), and most importantly, it is without the tiniest bit of monotony. That J. Mars knows how to fit verses into the beat.
