Adam Tensta - Dope Boy
Continuing the theme from yesterday of European rappers that I think are dope, here's the latest offering from Sweden's Adam Tensta (previously featured here). Dope Boy is the latest single off of his album It's a Tensta Thing, one of the better hip hop albums to come out last year. The beat for Dope Boy, which seems to have taken equal amounts of inspiration from Royksopp's Geico soundtrack and generic techno songs from the earlier part of this decade, may not appeal to the boom bap crowd, but the central theme of the song - "Do I look like I sell drugs?" - is a question most hip hop fans have had to ask at some point or another.
All of the 80's NES heads should keep an eye out for the Contra shoutout at the 1:50 mark.
Props to discobelle for the link.
