[1] does, C-Rayz Walz comes from a refreshingly more personal and humble
angle. Family, home life, and the day-to-day struggle are topics that show up
on /Ravipops/, an album title that represents Walz's status as father to the
newborn Ravi and a new alias for the rapper. A corrupt and oppressive world
has often been a topic for underground rap; seeing it through the less
self-centered eyes of a father is what gives the album its allure and makes
Walz seem all the more genuine. Don't think Walz has bought his Cosby [2]
sweater and clamped down. He boasts, sings the praises of weed, and cusses
all over the album, and his distaste for the status quo is obvious.
