Hopefully Serengeti's (MF Geti) 'Gasoline Rainbows' album comes out this month. I heard it comes out the 9th this month even though there's no official word on it though. Really looking forward to it
And i thought I Phantom had great production. 'Post Mordem' is one of my favorites, production wise.

sup H sorry for bailing out on our discussion last night, i fell asleep
about the young teens being the target of mainstream rap... i dunno man. cuz young'ns on my block never bump g-unit or laffy taffy. i swear its immortal tech, d-block, BIG L and the Dips all day everyday. i am quite sure that the majority of G-unit fans are white and from the suburbs, again no diss just trying to make a point.
the other thing...
i was talking about hip-hop and mc'ing where it doesnt have to be multis, earth and the stars etc. then i named some mcs and then you named mcs like pharoah and chino .
id name some mainstream cats worthy of love:
1.d-block
2.luda
3.xzibit
4.C-N-N
5.cormega
6.joe budden
7.beanie sigel
8.Jin <--- more or less mainstream now
9.AZ
DMX kept it raw until 'and then there was x.' Hell, even ja kept it raw with 'Venni, Vetti, Vecci' probably one of the grimiest east coast albums along with hell on earth.
moving to the south, i cant absolutely front about TI and weezy, they drop some real bangers. 'the carter' is a dirty south masterpiece along with juve's '400 degreez.' and TIs 'trap music,' well people call it a modern day masterpiece, for me its definitely GOOD.
see, you can def get quality music from mainstream artists you just gotta be careful and open-minded, you also gotta be careful with the media. i personally avoid BET and i only tune in to hot97 if theyre interviewing someone i like. IMO, these 2 stations are exploiting hiphop to the fullest extent. BET even said they will no longer play rakim and kool g. rap for they are outdated! LOL!
