jamesarice @clrblnd Yeah BLAKROC is some pretty interesting stuff. Keeping it real for hip hop, but with a twist!

Eminem is an obvious mainstream act that I think is still "keeping it real" and that has talent.

squire225 Royce the 5'9" just released a DOPE album. So did Walé - look around for his album "Attention Deficit" its very good.

mountaincrest Listening Hip Hop since 86, no joke. Many good years with lots of incredible output… but the last few years nothing really spectacular happend, lost interest more and more… but then today, i think i MUST buy "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Pt. II", bang!, that really reanimated my rap-music-senses – good stuff!

trkulja "Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know you love the classics and hip hop ain't what it used to be"
yeah, these threads ultimately finish like that. or everyone starts competing on how much indie hip hop artists they can name.
