Dondada: he is no Trinidad James

The guy in this video is dope! And he is no Trinidad James. I hate the fact that Trinidad James has a record deal..kinda. Not really. I applaud anyone who accomplishes his/her dreams. What I won't do is listen to stupid music. I really don't believe anyone should endeavor to get a record deal...When you sign the dotted line they own you in the worst way...but surely I digress...

Now I believe James is gimmicky and it works for him. I'm not a huge fan of rap music anyway... but let's talk about talent. James is a gimmick. Just like a lot of other talentless people who sign huge deals. It becomes an embarrassment to me. It takes the art out of the artistry. But there are people who are very talented who you'll rarely hear of, like my city's own BettieGrind...

Like I said, I'm not really into rap music, but I do like talented people.

I don't know if this guy's name is "Dondada" or something else, but what I do know is dude is talented. I mean amazingly talented. It is like the heart of and art of rapping...storytelling in an awesome way. I think his name is Rodrico or something and he's from Greenville, South Carolina.

This guy has vids on youtube...he seems like he would have fit well with the Dungeon Family or Outkast alone. I always like to look deeply at a person. What I heard in his song for God is a conflict of spirits. That pulling you towards a life that is destructive...and the other...the stronger one made weak by choices and decisions you make...that pulls you toward God.

Now which one wins? I don't know... But that's the beauty of telling stories about life... the end is not always a fairy tale.
