Dom Kennedy - From The West-Side With Love"



I've actually listened to this mixtape about a dozen times before uploading it for your pleasure. Dom Kennedy's one of my favorite new comers for a lot of reason's.

1)He's etho's are classic ( he sticks to the rap formula, but it's not bland or boring)
2)His name is Dom Kennedy ( that's kind of cool)
3)He's from the west coast, repping an area i've never heard of ( Lemeirt Park)
4)Cool Style, keeps it basic
5) He's kind of mysoginistic, but has this "give back to your neighborhood/ good guy" feel ( All my favorite rappers have that trait)
6) The raps seem real/relateable ( a lot of these new comers try to come so "avante garde" and against the grain.he put's you in the situation almost making you feel like you were there)

He doesn't have the best flow, and he isn't lyrically complex, but he's good because he's good. Not in a Young Jeezy way where the stripes in the hood earned your respect orignially, but in an Ice Cube way. In the way when you first heard " Today was a good day", and you knew what a day in Cali was like. Good concepts, Good Wit,  and Good stories. He's good like that. Download, and see for yourself.
