LMAO @ people who don't hear.....

We're not talking about MC's, we're talking about people who listen to music. The simple fact that a lot of popular music doesn't have any real messages behind them shows that most people don't care about whats being said. Could a club get away with bangin' tight acapellas all night? What about the radio? Of course not because it's all about the music. Most people I know would bang an instrumental before they banged an acapella.
If you're really into peoples messages poetry might be better source for that rather than music. Just a suggestion.

Same shit, different toilet.
I think people are first attracted by the beat, if its a slumper, then,as they listen to a song 2 or 3 times they hear the lyrics. Shit, I gotta listen to a E-40, or a Skuntdunna song more than a few times to catch all the shit they're sayin'.
you can't have one without the other.
Karlie Hustle, I heard that name in PO 503, are you the same one?

Isn't that the novelty about underground rap music....that's it's supposedly has "substance" behind it.....most cats on here make fun of the bling bling rap and then turn around and listen to nothing but raps about henn, bitches and gold d's....in this case I was referring to the massive amount of so called "battle raps" that have been uploaded on the siccness.....people respond with "oh that shit was tiiiiiiiiight!" and then someone pimps them to the game that it was directed at D-Sane....but if they'd actually been HEARING the song....it is plain as day. That is the point I was trying to make here but I guess no one got it. So there it is there....agree to disagree.

Haters? Oh yea, that's a daily thing. I speak too much truth and don't fake for anyone....I say what I think.....people don't like truth, therefore they don't like me....except for my listeners....my show is doing just lovely out here. The haters will have to see me in a year or so....thank you for your well wishes.
A lot of the underground rap I hear is pretty much that same boring 'bitches, liquor, weed and I'm a wannabe hardcore mafia don' bullshit. Who would you recommend as a breath of fresh air from that?
Just curious.... Since you've worked in radio for a while (to my understanding), do you think rap music is on its way up or on its way down? How many more Nelly's and Ja Rule's do you think people want? I keep hearing this subject brought up and I just wonder what someones take on it is who isn't necessarily in the same circles.

All the underground heat is right in front of your nose. Skuntdunna, Dividenz, Critical, Young vicious, Mo-x, Sarkastik. All on this board, all at your disposal. All you got to do is post a thread, they will tell you where to get the music (MP3.com/, or stores the CD is in), or see the shows.
I know you didn't ask me, but i feel like I have an idea.:eyecross:

Well personally, I think the industry...underground and overground is saturated with bullshit. Everyone wants to be a fucking rapstar and not a businessman. Unfortunately in this day and age you cannot be one without the other. It's too easy for people to record and drop CD's without ever doing a live show. I know people that have been in the game for years, performed live umpteen million times and have never dropped a full project (i.e. The Lifesavas....Irv & Jum hurry the fuck up!). They have built a foundation and have earned respect in the game over years of consistent hot shows and singles. Then you have these net MC's dropping MP3's on the daily that have never spit live on a mic in front of anyone other than their homies who are steady gassing them up and making them think they are tight. As a matter of fact, if you listen to Cool Nutz "Harsh Game" record, the Lifesavas have an interlude about exactly this.
As for mainstream radio.....I kinda got into this by accident. I knew I wanted to be in music somehow...perhaps more on the marketing side. I worked retail for years at Sam Goody and Camelot, then started getting into the local scene and supporting shows.....then I helped put on a community event that sparked my mentor to pick me up for his record label promo team....then I got plugs at the radio station, worked promotions, got mic hungry and was given a chance. I earned my stripes and here I am doing what I love. Same should go for everyone else in the game. Just like I don't respect radio jocks that get on the air without paying their dues in the streets, I don't respect throwaway rappers that have zero creativity and merely emulate whoever they dickride, make tracks and never do a show.
With that having been said, I think the state of hip hop is at an impass. It is cyclical like everything in life and it will bounce back to the essence sooner or later....OR it will get completely dominated by white people and become pure pop music, therefore creating an avenue for black folks to recreate it into a new art (reference jazz and blues here).
