It's disappointing when you hear an artist that's dope but no one will listen, but you have to realize if the artist is good he'll make his way to the ears of the mainstream. A lot of it has to do with what type of person you are though, and where you live. I heard of Kendrick in '09 because I'm a hip-hop junkie who happened to be in California while he was playing. If it wasn't for that, I probably would've first heard him after he dropped OD, much later than most hip-hop junkies. But it doesn't matter when you hear it, as long as you DO hear it. As disappointing as it is that people are ignorant of good artists, they'll make their way around. Especially Kendrick.

Yea i have been listening to him since he was k-dot. The recipe is deff a good song but its funny how shit like that works out.
The whole black hippy movement as a whole is dope.
 
The past few days i been listening to Steven Jo.
I just found out about him. Dudes like a comedian though, especially in his videos. Its hard to take some of the shit he says serious.

One Be Lo
Jadakiss

Copped Jon Connor's new mixtape off of Datpiff, liking it a lot, lyrical w/ nice beats. Someone also finally put Remy Banks' mixtape up on Datpiff, and if y'all haven't heard it, you should.

I actually was meh to The Format. Its one of the few Premier beats I really didnt care for. I think The Come Up was a much better AZ / Premo collab

actually the whole album was meh to me really
 
Really liking Lloyd Banks' V6. He's been doing it big for a while, releasing album-caliber mixtapes.

something like this if your saying who i have spent the most time listening to then it's these Dudes.

Rakim
G Rap
KRS ONE
NAS
Kool Keith %) & all his alter ego's DR Octagon especially .
Big Daddy Kane
Masta Ace
Big L
Roxanne Shante
Raekwon

40 % of that list are Juice Crew members . I think that certainly shows my age .
 
Too much effort to think up a full top 10 list right now, but I know Fat Pat would damn sure be at the top of that list, maybe even above biggie and pac.
 
Virtually all hip-hop nowadays sucks balls. The supposed good commercial ones like hopsin, tyler the creator a$ap rocky all suck. hiphop beats are still good though. Give me some pre 2003 mobb deep over anything else nowadays.
 
I think its more about the background of the newer guys. Rappers in the 90s usually were criminals before they started rapping so you felt like they really had credibility when they were saying what they were saying.

Now its like any dude with matching clothes and a snap back can be a rapper even if they just spit bullshit the whole time
