Speech of Arrested Development
Remember “Speech” from “Arrested Development”? Well, some may have thought he and Arrested Dev’ had fallen off the face of the earth after smashing the industry with two Grammy Awards in 1993 for Best New Artist and Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group, and also being named Band of the Year by Rolling Stone magazine. No one was messing with Arrested Development in 1993 and 1994. Few have stopped to think about the doors that they kicked in for the South and the trail that they blazed for acts like Outkast & Goodie MOB.
Well anyways, back to my man Speech, he has never stopped doing music. Music lovers and live show aficionados may already know that he has always been touring and releasing albums. Here he speaks to the Legendary Davey D about how the south does or does not get a bad rap for the type of rap music they do. And you may ask, “What qualifies him to speak on the plight southern rap?” And I’d reply, “refer to the first paragraph herein.”
Enjoy!
