“Coffee and Snow”

I got this link from AngryAsianMan (who rarely steers me wrong) for some good music. This song hit a chord with me, though, since I’m in FLAH, sitting on my back porch in 70 degree weather in January, and missing the cold of Chicago and warmth of friends.

A good, sentimental hip-hop song always hits me harder than sentimental rock. When rappers start talking about the things they really care about they get more clever and offer the kind of humanizing details in verse that a standard rock stanza can’t match. A sentimental hip-hop song, when done right, feels like you’re hanging out with friends, recalling the hard times and the good old days, often one in the same. Enjoy.
