Yeah I agree, I hate that Lil Jon and all that southern shit too ...trust me lol. I am talking about the current state of 'known' hip-hop...not necessary mainstream or popular. (Nas is known...but he doesn't have the biggest 'hits' in the world, although he's one of the best all time.)

Some underground is good obviously, but I am more of a 'known' hip-hop guy. I don't know how else to say it....it's like College BBall vs. NBA...I happen to like the NBA...lol.
