I agree with alotta shit defending hip-hop! Hip-Hop is the most universal genre in my mind cuz it derives from pretty much everything. I think krazy chino named alot of my personal favorites.
Oh yeah, and hip-hop ain't dead......we just need to stop being fooled by weak-ass gimik rappers and keep what's real on top! ......and as for the the underground shit (to whoever says it isn't important) not all of it is good, but where do you think our greatest rappers came from?
