One of my favorite groups which I recently discovered is TiRon and Ayomari, their debut album A Sucker for Pumps made it on the top 15 Hip Hop albums list from my favorite music blog http://smokingsection.uproxx.com/TSS/ . The entire album is an takes a topic covered by the majority of pop music but largely ignored by rap. Love, not fucking bitches or pulling sluts in the club, but a legitmate relationship from the moment he sees the girl to the inevitable break up.
If I was lazy, I would simply post their entire album until Cupid's Day, but there are some other suprising love songs that fit well and should get some exposure. I chose this as the first one to post mainly because it was the lead single and the only song with a music video. The song is one of the first conversations between the guy (the narrator in the concept album) and the girl and its the typical scenario that we all know. Guy meets girl, guy like girl, girl has scub douchebag boyfriend, guy tries to convince girl he's better for her. I also love the music video, not only does it take have a complex story line and a reference to hip hop legend Slick Rick, but the main characters are elementary school kids taking me back to those crushes back in first and second grade that drove all of us crazy.
Look out for more from the kids from Cali espically during my love song special, here's the video.
And girl even though we act like we want sluts, we always fall for classy girls ... in the end we're all suckers for pumps.
