it's alright, but thanks for bringing the discussion back up
and im not white like pale white. im light brownish peach anyway, i guess it has to do with more where youre from. Here in Cali, almost every 10 to 12 year old is rocking g-unit/dipset gear or bumping eminem, d12, 50 cent/g-unit, the game etc...
ummm pharoahe and chino never rap about stars or the earth...i dunno what you're talking about. maybe you typed that part wrong.
out of those 9, the ones i respect are: Xzibit (his first 2 albums are classic), Cormega (all his material is great), and AZ (not really a fan, but he has been releasing good music).
DMX is wack, i've heard all his stuff. the best song he ever made was this unreleased track called "**** the Industry" or something like that. the quality wasn't too good, but i have neard heard DMX spit like that. it was really good. regardless of that, he's wack in my opinion.
T.I, Z-Ro, Chamillionare, Weezy, Lil'Wayne or any other southern mc's are garbage in my opinion. now wait wait dont judge me just cuz of that statement. i'll explain...
the South has some of the best mc's of all time. Outkast (i loved their older albums), Supastition, Little Brother, Cunninlynguists, Scarface & The Geto Boys, and a few others.
BET also said that Little Brother's new album is (and i quote) "too intelligent for the BET audience". this clearly proves that the media is avoiding the exploitation of good music.
don't think im dissing the mainstream, i just think it's not releasing good music at the moment. My friends were talking about the new Chamillionare album being a classic...i gave it one listen and deleted it. The only good thing about CHam is his voice, and that doesn't really do much.
peace!

^i hear what youre saying and its really depressing
it reminds me of the 90's where hiphop is really popping... remember when the wu dropped, illmatic putting NYC on freeze mode, chronic and doggystyle reminding people that WC aint nun to **** wit, my man BIG on the come up... damn!
but now what do we have? D4L??? Ying-yang twins??? Blackk eyed peas??? G-Unit???
aaargh! i wanna blame this on someone. can i blame this on someone??? ok im going to blame it on NELLY!!!
anyways
its friday night here imma hit up a spot ... next time man
can some 1 reccomend me some Qwel, 7l & esoteric and aceyalone tracks and what cd the tracks from.. I've heard so much about these guys but never really got into them from the few tracks ive heard from them
o and i forgot to add the arsonists, the alkaholics, copywrite, prefuse 73, Pharcyde, clouddead, reef the lost cause, the lost boyz, warcloud, the grouch, akrobatik.. dont mind the spelling
lol i only uploaded like one of those albums, check the name next time
i was right into them for awhile, his voice just does it for me. i found better emcees that did the same thing for me, but without saying really racist and violent shit all time. definitely glad im out of the violent rap faze.
get broken wing by qwel for sure, that song is crazy. 7l & esoteric's first album was ok, their second album was worse and the third just sucked. they all have their so so songs on them, but dangerous connection had a few good ones and so did soul purpose, the collabs were their best. 7l needs a better emcee, esoteric gets boring quick.
Get If It Ain't Been In A Pawn Shop, Then It Can't Play The Blues. It's his best album to date.

don't get me wrong i thought the production on broken wing was perfect.. but a couple of other tracks i listened to had a somewhat boring beat kinda ruined the song
brett can you not upload so much stuff. The occasional requested or rare upload is ok, but it is illegal and it would be nice if people could support these artists. I mean Louis Logic, the man's gotta drink.
It was good, but it got kinda dull after a while, he really doesn't vary his subject matter much at all, and Cormega and C-Rayz are better at that kind of thing. I liked the production though, very original.
