Omar Gooding is known for his performance and comedy timing, but many people don’t know that he is also an MC.
Part of that is because his current rap journey hasn’t really begun until the 2017 pair hit him. The death of his father, Cuba Gooding Sr., was the birth of his son in the same year. The double milestone forced him to eventually work on hip-hop and released his first solo album the same year.
“I started to check what was going on in my mind,” Gooding told Allhiphop. “If your son is like, ‘Dad, you talk about rap. You never rap. Where is your album?’ That same year, I released my first solo album…I feel heavy with my dad… [he said]’Okay, brother. This is you. go ahead. ‘Hip-hop is my business. ”
Family connections have always been heavy, with Gooding’s music and brother Cuba Gooding Jr. co-signing a specific song. “Legend” becomes a turning point when his brother gives him the final seal of recognition. “My brother is like, ‘This is the best thing I’ve ever heard in my life,'” he said.
This song is a tribute to the entertainment family history. Gooding Sr. is the lead singer of the main ingredient of the classic R&B and Soul Group. The main ingredients were incredibly run in the 1970s, including the ubiquitous classic “Everyone plays a fool”. “Legendary” Sample Samples the original hit single from 1972 and mentions the Oscar-winning Gooding, Jr.
Now Gooding moves to the next stage with his new single “For The Culture”, which he describes as his clearest lyrical display to date. The track also added an increase from the hands of Los Angeles rapper Malone, who jumped out after hearing the record.
“When I wrote this, I went, ‘Damn’,” Gooding admitted. “My MC circle answered, ‘Oh, so you ramble now.’” Malone jumped up after hearing the song.
The record comes after headlines related to his Cam’ron Diss series. However, Goode didn’t want to be known for his competition with Harlem diplomats.
“I think it’s going to be a good shift because I heard I turned down Cam’ron,” he said. “It’s really for culture. I’ve been with the rappers all the time. They know I’m getting off.”
The full conversation between Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur of Allhiphop and Omar Gooding will be released soon. stay tuned!
