bytch You probably didn't get into hip hop until 50 Cent Get Rich or Trying came out so sit your corny ass down somewhere.

Someone should 1 star your reading comprehension skills because I already re explained myself yesterday on what I truly meant behind the post:

Perhaps I should rephraise what I meant. When I said underground, I dont mean the artists, I mean mainly the black market as in the mixtapes because thats where you hear the artists put out their best material in album like formats whereas when they putting out major releases, They have to cater to more bosses and basically focus on putting out billboard hits.

Hip Hop is doing great as long as people choose to seek out the good stuff. The problem with hip hop is what's being pushed down people's throats via BET and the radio. The art isn't being represented very well in that aspect. Otherwise, it's doing fine.

OP didn't even mention K Dot, Ab-Soul, Schoolboy Q or Blu's albums. This has been a GREAT year. Joe Budden and Saigon about to drop too.

:snoop:at the theory that I even claimed Life is Good was a mixtape. A perfect example of your area having a failed public school system

Great points

I did this post months ago and this is the exact point I was trying to make but was misinterpeted wrong. For the slowones(including that half a homo thats stays trying to argue with me) When I said Underground, I mainly was referring to the Mixtape circuit(Not the Underground rap scene). You can find better music in the mixtape circut because this is where the artist can pretty much control their vision

I mentioned Nas's Life is Good among many other albums because when Nas's album dropped, It was like a breath of fresh air and recaptured the feeling of artists dropping music thats their feeling and stuck to a concept instead of pulling a Slaughterhouse and releasing a bunch o billboard bland shyt to cater to the masses who werent gonna buy the albums in the first place.

After Life is Good then followed Food and Liquor, Slaughterhouse's mixtape Chino XL's album followed by K.Dot, Meek, The Man of Iron Fists Soundtrack and Sean Price, Gibbs, All good music from both the mixtape AND retail.

:umad: because :ufdup: and now you are backpedaling like a little hoe

I aint back pedal on shyt bytch, Im just not explaining anymore to you short bus ass nikkas what I already have meant to say when I already did plenty times before. Did I use the wrong choice of words? I admit that. Not ashamed at all. I should have used the mixtape circuit instead of Underground scene because thats what I meant to say because the mixtape circuit is still considered the black market of the Industry and I also threw Life is Good in there because it was good music proving that hip hop aint dead as well. Cotdamn Do you crack babies even try to comprehend?
