YC the Cynic - You're Welcome
YC the Cynic - You're Welcome
I always discover the best rappers when I least expect it. YC the Cynic, hailing from the Bronx (BX stand up!), is an unassuming early-20's rapper, with a Twitter. Why would anybody check him more than (insert rapper) from (insert crew/clique)? There are way too many rappers out right now, and you don't know who to waste your time with. I guess I really downloaded the album because the name 'cynic' stood out to me. Yes, YC's cynical. He also has the craziest vocabulary I've heard since Lupe. No, he's not the next Lupe. In fact he's far from that. YC is so straightforward on his tracks that he has to be a cynic. Tracks like 'Chris Brown's Latest Hit' show how little he cares about the idiocy plaguing mainstream society. His disdain for rap's direction as of late is shown in his verbal prowess and easy flow. The beats on the album, 'You're Welcome' are halfway decent. He used a few early 90's tracks like 'Rebirth of Slick' and rode them to perfection. YC reminds me of that era of Digable Planets, but with so much more potential. Hopefully 2010 is the 'Return of Slick'. D/l, tracklist, #dopetracks, and loosies after the jump...
