ROOFTOP MC's - MINORITY REPORT ALBUM


In these days when cash and booty obsessed raplings encourage their listeners to party senselessly, it amounts to rebellion to do otherwise especially when it's done with as much, if not more energy and determination as the army of misguided prattlers. Now, back to our story...As the Nigerian hip hop scene evolves, several compelling characters are regularly thrown up, adding colour and verve to the colony of microphone commanders. Kunle Adeyoola a.k.a. Soulsnatcha and Olaitan Hughes a.k.a. Sokleva. Together known as RoofTop MCs, this Lagos pair are not only entertaining audiences with their brand of against the grain hip hop but are also spreading the message of Christ and practical Christian living to spiritually confused youths. Hold up! Before you dismiss them as another undistinguished gospel group it is imperative that I explain the phrase I have used to describe their mentality and brand of hip hop. The sound of these University of Lagos alumni can best be described as what you'll get when The Beastie Boys work with Run-DMC at Outkast's lab. In plainer English, the group tries to capture the situations and imaginations of enlightened young urban urbanites while giving us a peek in their nirvana of cryptic lyrics (I hope this is better). Having grown up in the 80s listening to a variety of music (Soulsnatcha's dad worked as a producer in Radio Nigeria 2 at the time) it was only normal that they incorporate elements of some of the prominent genres of the time into their music. But instead of limiting their creative excavation to hip hop's staple ore of funk soul and bass music, they've decided to introduce rock, pop and even skank into their sound. Including a dash of fuji helps to give their sound some semblance of cultural identity, enough for the average Nigerian listener to shed some of their indifference to what is generally perceived as American style hip hop. But the group's greatest strength lies in their ability to give electrifying live performances. RoofTop MCs are a class apart from the the rest when it comes to stage tantrums and pyrotechnics.
Roof Top MCs,one of the leading hip-hop groups of our times. After the release of the critically acclaimed album "Shock Therapy" containing tracks like 'Shock Therapy', Feel this (remix), have come out with a new album titled "Minority Report". This album boasts of songs like 'Lagemo', 'Elenu'. Even Lagemo's video has been receiving rave reviews from the airplay it has been having. It is now available in stores nationwide...Sooooo! go get yours nowwwww!!!
Let me give a lyrics preview of the Hit track Lagimo

GET KNOWLEDGE & UNDERSTAND IT!!!

Wordz of knowledge from Godz Vesselz

The Power of Thought
Before you start something you must create the right thought about whatever it is that you want to do. You must align your thoughts with the project ahead of you. It is a law that you must not get involved in anything, whilst harbouring bad feelings within you about the thing, or the person that made the demand on you. (2 Corinthians 12:7-10). Find joy in the task ahead no matter how daunting it may seem, it is an opportunity for you to expand. If your heart is grieved or it has a bad feeling towards your action it nullifies the effect of what you’re doing and thus amounts to nothing (i.e. work done equals zero).Most human beings are unaware of the power of their thoughts they don’t take into cognisance the effect that the state of their hearts has upon the circumstances that surround them. As a result of this they look to their actions to make everything happen. We agree that action is an important component in the physical world, but it is not through action that you create your physical experience.When you need to perform a task you ought to know that your actions ought to be used to enjoy the experience you want to derive from it and not vice-versa. For starters you must create the thought and the feeling of the joy derived within that experience. Once these two ingredients are fulfilled you have launched the creation of that particular task. Thus, working towards its manifestation in the future ensures that from its joyful creation in your heart that you will be inspired to take the right actions and these actions will be in joy. Actions taken in the present that have not been taken in joy are true to the letter, but such a series of actions will never have a happy ending. All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that has a merry heart hath a continual feast. (Proverbs 15:15). For any fixed goal/target that you want to hit you must find joy in its achievement.Pressure and demand are the price paid by performers and as a result those that achieve results have them as constant companions initially this is not a pleasant experience but one that people must learn to handle rightly. In order to discover joy in our hearts over various tasks we must first of all pray. Is any among you afflicted? Let him pray. Is any merry? Let him sing psalms. (James 5:13)The key to joy in the midst of the situation is ‘the light of the eyes’ (the light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart) (Prov 15:30) this light is what God commanded at the beginning of His task of creation when there was only darkness and the earth was without form and void. The entrance of thy words giveth light it giveth understanding unto the simple (Ps 119:130) with this understanding the individual now knows the steps he should take. The end product is expansion and increase on every side i.e. when you walk, your steps shall not be hampered (your path will be clear and open) and when you run, you will not stumble. (Prov 4:12).
