Listen to Young Crazy’s “No Rap Advice”: The Ones
In “No Rap Advice,” Young Crazy conveys an approach to life that can’t be taught. The Norfolk, VA lyricist’s hard work has led him to a point where he can freely enjoy the spoils of his efforts—everyone else can watch and learn. Over a head-knocking Wood On Da beat production, he makes himself clear: “I ain’t got no rap advice for y’all/I got bags to lend you.” In the standout bars of his second verse, Crazo calls out those looking for a quick rise: “They see everybody do it so they follow, y’all ain’t real leaders/You ain’t in it for the sport, you want the cheerleaders.” He is brutally honest, knowing full that the truth won’t bring him friends: “Haters tryna see why I ain’t die yet like Morgan Freeman.”
With artists releasing songs at a fast and furious pace, it’s difficult for the average hip-hop head to keep track of it all—no matter how tapped in they are. That’s why we created The Ones, a daily post to highlight the song you need to hear.
