Here is a great article on what Arrested Development is currently up to from
Rhyme Junkie. Yes, it touches a bit on how they've been out of the mainstream and so forth like most articles about the group, but it doesn't dwell on it and goes much further. I really like this paragraph--I think the phrase "positive rap" is a misnomer for a lot of music labeled as such. A better term might be
productive rap rather than "destructive" rap.
They were making songs that sounded upbeat, but didn’t necessarily have
upbeat lyrics to go along with it. “Tennessee” is about the death of
Speech’s grandmother. “Mr. Wendal” is about a homeless guy. “People
Everyday” is about getting into a fight while on a date.
In case you missed it above, here's another l
ink. Enjoy!
