KEITH MURRAY "Was Supposed To Be A Big STAR! What Happened? Stunted Growth Music
Eradication, psychosomatically, Genetics, Scientifically, Hypothesis, Symbolic, Sacroiliac, what rapper young know is using words like that in his rhymes without coming off obligatory, Unsatisfactory, Ridiculously impractical or Ill advised. You see what I tried to do there Keith? But even when I try to do my best Keith Murray impression, it doesn’t stand up to what this genius of a rapper did beginning over 30 years ago using words on a beat and microphone. I say this a lot that this rapper or that rapper could’ve been the best ever if this or that didn’t happen, but Keith Murray is seriously the embodiment of that statement. I didn’t grow up on Keith Murray, in fact I’d even say I was late to the party on his music and more his story, but I can remember the day in college I was introduced to his songs right before our homecoming game and haven’t taken it out of my rotation ever since. I shot 2 for 19 that game and missed a game tying free throw, thank you Keith, but that’s not the point. The point is, in the 90s Keith Murray had it all. He was also an unquestioned top 10 lyricist of the 90s bar for bar. I’ll even give you my list right now. Biggie, Nas, Jay-z, Tupac, Raekwon, Andre 3000, Dmx, Method Man, Busta Rhymes, and… Keith Murray. Besides that, if you listen to his songs right now, they’ll still give you that feel it did, and is the perfect representation of New York Hip Hop in the 90s. His beat selection was top notch, even if I feel his hooks could’ve been better, and his persona was unpredictable, energetic and believable all in one. I speak highly of Keith Murray, and waited a long time to even wrap my mind around doing this video but his growth stunts deserves to be told. What he went through in the music industry and life is still relatable to rappers today, and may at least help 1 aspiring rapper not make the same mistakes, because like Fredro Star said, Keith Murray could’ve been a star. Unfortunately these things happened and his star fell far from that. Here’s why
