underground hip hop is not dead. it is still where it has always been. this shit that is getting airplay and promotion is getting more and more tired. imagine getting paid to be unoriginal and mimic the latest trend. it is bugged that no one seems to recognize on any wide scale that it is the innovators who create the trends that get followed later. why did the innovator create a trend? because something DIFFERENT was made available. people are so caught up in the same old same old that they close off what's new unless told to listen. i was talking to this cat who listens to hip hop and he didn't even know Brand Nubian had dropped an album recently (last year/summer actually). it's crazy 'cause the album is bangin'. even better, the production was done almost entirely by Lord Jamar (looks like he cut his locks...). then of course you have another dope Masta Ace album that dropped that no one really talks about. these cats put toghether bangin' projects with some real production and get no airplay. i ain't even mad about that. forget airplay. people need to just listen to the music and support the artist. check for them on tour and/or cop the album. radio is not made for music anyway (something of which most people are completely unaware). media is made for advertising. everything else is just filler. the wonders of capitalism...exploit your resources until they are completely depleted...what a great concept...
what? zoooooom!
PEACE
