The Emsee - Rap Squared

| The Emsee - Rap Squared |
OK, holding my hands up here,
this is not an area that I have a deep knowledge of but, nevertheless, I am
impressed by Ontario rapper The Emsee (aka Matthew Cathcart). My instant go to
point is Eminem (and not just because The Emsee is a white rapper - he's not
Vanilla Ice for Christ's sake) but there is a calmness, a slickness to 'Rap
Squared' that is enthralling. To me, good rap is a clever use of language set
to an infectious beat with a simple melody that lets the words do the talking
and 'Rap Squared' is just that. Self referential lyrics set to a simple yet
eery piano riff give this song menace and intrigue in equal measure -
definitely more appealing than the current propensity for rapping about
guns/bitches/money/bling. Told you, not my area of expertise but that doesn't
stop me from liking it.
