[divider]2[/divider]“Flex (ooh ooh ooh)” by Rich Homie Quan

I have no idea what he’s saying even with the lyrics in hand, I wasn’t sure whatever what he’s saying was even considered English. Rich Homie Quan makes the song unlistenable. I couldn’t even tell you this song was about other than flashing money, bad women and stunting on haters and to be honest I wouldn’t expect any more from these two. I thought maybe it’s a regional thing so I look into the Atlanta Rap scene…Future, Migos, Young Thug, Rich Homie Quan. Whatever happened to the likes of B.O.B., Outkast, Ludacris and even Goodie Mob? I know Atlanta can do better.

This song charted #26 and has since become certified platinum. If the rap game has now become non-sensible English, skinny jeans and androgyny, I’m sadly missing the days of baggy jeans, black hoodies and timbs.

Adrian "A.D." Dubard

Born in Washington DC, Adrian was placed in the care of his maternal grandparents after his mother died when he was a baby. For the most part of his life, Adrian’s biological father was absent from his life. Growing up with a house full of cousins, aunts and uncles, Adrian began his love of writing to document his surroundings. Attending a private school for 9 ½ years, it was there that many influential teachers help strengthen his love of writing via English and creative writing classes. Even though, Adrian loved to write he was reserved about what he wrote about. Leaving DC at the age of 7, Adrian and his family moved to Temple Hills, Maryland in Prince George’s not too far from where he had lived previously. Luckily, Adrian had taken part in many youth outreach programs as a youth that allowed him to travel and see the country, many kids he knew around his own age hadn’t even left the city. These experiences opened his eyes to other cultures and ways of living. As a teenager, Adrian had many friends who passed away before their time but he promised to keep writing to honor their memory. Other than writing, Adrian has helped various charities rise by going on public speaking tours. Some of these charities include The Safe Haven Project and The Journey of Hope. He has contributed to several book projects and currently resides in Queens, NY. Read more articles by Adrian.
