His version of "Comin from where I'm from" by Anthony Hamilton is GREAT

Lupe is dope but you really have to check the mixtapes to get a good feel. His album, unmixed, leaked, which means its gonna be pushed back while he records new tracks : ( What I heard was dope though. He's good.

OK dude I think I should point out I just don't agree with your reading of rap music, so don't get it twisted, i was not implying that black folks don't know about 'lyrically advance music,' i was just relaying my experiences which says more about white ppl's socioeconomic prejudices than...

Is this dude for real?

At my high school up nawf in the midwest, no white kids liked master p and cash money unless you went to some outer suburban high school, in the city white folks liked the roots and called cash money/master p shit "ghetto" and had nothing to do with it. I still don't get why people are so...

pgunn, as an ehomie who met you in the real world i have to recommend you cop some T.I. ASAP. Get Trap Muzik, then the new one, then urban legend, then his first.

Of course there was a huge west coast underground - dude, "G-funk." Dre was sort've a definitive blueprint for the sound but there are tons of artists, literally bargain bins full of artists who followed in his wake, ever since the first NWA album. And there are dudes like Rick Rock, DJ Quik and...

How nice it would be if this were true! I don't think it is sadly. This attitude actually seems harmful to me.

New MOP single bangs like a motherfucker.

Lyrically rap seems to develop all the time in my mind, but I think you're confusing social and aesthetic conservatism in that regard. I think the other problem I have with yr take about it being 'static' is that - well, i think you might be kind of right! But not really. haha. to explain: I...

Really? Every article I've read has been accompanied by 1) pictures of women dancing and 2) talk with DJ Marlboro about how he's this hugely popular DJ there. Everything I heard suggested that this stuff is grassroots-popular. If its not, then the case for it 'taking over' rap music sounds even...

Guys there are tons of white rappers. Many of whom are successful regionally. And I don't mean just the media-darling indie dudes - Paul Walls, Lil Wytes, Bubba Sparxx, Haystacks, Eminems, EC Illas, Tow Downs (heh well maybe not) etc.

It should be noted, 3-6 had nothing to do with the stage dancing.

Total eyeroll at caroica funk 'replacing' rap music. It is rap music, in the sense that it holds the same/similar cultural-musical space for Brazillians that rap does here.

whoa@people still discussing these dudes. Pgunn - the party in bushwick - we talked for a bit, nice set. Lets talk about something new, like Jermaine Dupri raping the 80s

I don't get whats with the cynicism, 99% of pop music is biting. I mean I don't think anyone listens to Play any more around here, shit peaked last summer, but as rehashes go it wasn't bad. btw Dave, Play wasn't just a hit in southern clubs, it was a hit everywhere in the states. Like the good...

It was produced by the same guy. Its part of his 'intimate club music' 'series'

Murderdog is good. xlr8r, urb, many others are all basically the same mag now. its too creepy! Does everyone need to cover the same artists? Like, talk about trend jumping. I bought xlr8r the other day and thought i was going to learn about house and techno! But no. Fader has nice photography...

Late pass dude! Thats E-40. Where y'all been. Seriously tho, check the MTV "My Block" link I posted, it'll give you a better/broader picture of bay area rap than 'hyphy' which is dope but just one side of one weird fucking rap city. (Not that it doesn't have its shortcomings too but there's...

here is MTV's big 25 minute piece on bay area rap - interview too short, e-40, keak, jt the bigga figga, a bunch of other dudes too.
