I mean, there is PLENTY of great and diverse hip hop out there.

Sandman is far from alone- and far from the best doing it.

But back to the topic-

What kind of intellectual ma$turbation was this??


So he wrote an essay to point out that commercial hip hop isn't diverse and kids are soaking it up??

Umm....thanks?


I'm not trying to hate or anything- this dude is talented.

But this isn't a new problem at all...and with the rise of blogs I'd say the diversity and choices in hip hop have increased big time.


If you can't find unique hip hop nowadays I don't know what tell you.

Yeah, turn off the radio- but thats BEEN the case.


Maybe he'd get more shine if he could pick a good beat and write a decent hook??

I guess I just don't see the point of these hip hop essays or whatever that point out the obvious and seem to imply that a particular artist isn't getting due shine because of this factor or that factor.

Make good music, do you, be original, turn off the radio...keep it moving.
