Papoose.......The Saviour Of Hip Hop ??????
Labels:
Hip Hop Solo Artist's
Before Nas told us all that Hip Hop was dead a young New Yorker was already claiming to be hip hop's saviour. Shamele Mackie (Papoose) first appeared on wax on a Kool G Rap's Roots of Evil album in 1998 but after failing to secure a deal he chose to stick to mixtapes and build up a rep before signing any deals. He met Kayslay when the DJ was leaving his radio station and kept bugging him with demos, and it was'nt long till Pap was appearing on Kayslays Streetsweeper series, and some of his tunes have became somewhat legandry due to his complex vocabluary and ideas, and although most are copied from Old school hip hop, the "younger" generation of hip hop fans have taken Papoose to heart and do believe he's the next big thing. He done a few songs with Busta Rhymes and seems to have broke mainstream, all this with out dropping an album!. Although this is about to change, in August 2006 he signed a $1.5 million contract with Jive Records and his album The Nacirema Dream will be appearing at a record shop near you soon. I personally think his flow is reminiscance of Big L and with the right direction 2007 could be his year.....we'll see.
till then check out his mixtapes, right click the pics and save as......
