Pharoahe Monch - P.T.S.D. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
.
.
.
Hot bars and mental health are not always put in the same box. Today I am posting hip-hop albums that defy that notion, and still manage to be standout albums in the history of the genre. This album is one that I got on the release date (not in vinyl though!) and have been listening to ever since. It made a huge impact on me as a listener of hip-hop and an artist myself about what can be possible in terms of conceptual lyrical storytelling. .

@pharoahemonch Pharoahe Monch is a master of the mic and a beast of a creative MC. He bodies every verse he spits and there re no exceptions to that. This album hits hard both sonically and conceptually. He tells a story through his own bars and guest verses about the suffocating effect that following society’s standards can have. I posted a clip of the album’s opening song, “The Recollection Facility”. There is a similar concept here as there is in the movie “The Matrix”; mention of those in control pulling strings because they feed off of our sadness and profit from our self-destruction. .

The album ends hopeful, and that is heard even in the instrumental. Here is a man who is not afraid to say what is really on his mind after decades of grinding it out as an underground hip-hop artist. He was just talented enough to sift those thoughts into stories and make them rhyme in rhythm to a beat. .

What’s your take? Peace and love as always ✌️❤️✌️❤️
