That's dope. Instead of some corny raps by others not affiliated with the culture outs cool to see real rappers growing up ave doing things that their kids and their fans kids can listen to and identify with. Would watch Yo Gabba Gabba with my kids and really enjoyed it cause it had a hip hop feel and had guest like Biz Markie, Mos Def, The Roots, and Badu. Being in your 40's still only rapping bout selling drugs and shooting nikkas can get kinda played.

Outside of the norm things like this is where you can truly see the writing skills of rappers.

This is dope poetry.

Would love to see one of these mumble rappers who relies on hot beats, melodies and catchy hooks given the task of writing something like this and see how well he does

Phonte's track record is so dope - between doing stuff like this, being on Questlove's podcast and writing for 'The Breaks' - dude is doing it :obama:
