However I can't hate on the newer stuff too much. Music is supposed to be entertainment, and regardless of what the rappers are talking about, mainstream rap is still super entertaining to me--nice beats, clever flows, clever lines, and just all around head nodding music. If you guys want to hear some real music though make sure to check out www.cypherkingz.blogspot.com . some hella tight mixes on there for download. Truuuuuuuuue that.

i’d stick up for SB/LB too, if the second half of Andre’s disc wasn’t godawful. still a solid set though.

All he's done is get better and better at pretty much everything he does while Andre gets props for all the shit he could be doing if he felt like it, but practically never does. We can do better than dreaming up possible hip-hop utopias. It's time we stopped rewarding promise. Poor Big Boi never gets mentioned.

I was just listening to his verse on "Walk it Out" for the 100th time on my iPod last week and still got goosebumps. I'd love to hear Andre and Nas do a proper song toghether (not some R&B remix again)--they're 2 of the "elder statesmen" who still have more skill and relevance than 90% of these new jacks. Thank you DJ Drama for making this a major label song and not some shitty quality MP3 for a Gangsta Grillz mixtape. This is one of your best written posts, my friend.
