CunninLynguists - Seasons ft. Masta Ace

That's a free, legal download of the song.

Now why am I linking this? Well, you listen to the song and tell me.

Seasons is maybe the most beatiful piece of rap music. It's an extended metaphor for the history of hip-hop, comparing the eras to the seasons. We are currently living in the winter, or, "the ice-age", as they put it, in refrence to the awful bling trend. While the song is a bit pessimistic about how rap had progressed since the end of the eighties ( the Golden Era, or Summer), through the nineties, into the new millenium, the last line suggests that it's time for the cycle to start again.
