But how many exceptions can there be until you are wrong?

I mean, you say they ain't saying shit or followed up on Dre's statement - but then cats name solid artists like LB, Jay Elec, CunninLynguists, J Cole, Curren$y, Lil Wayne, Big KRIT, etc etc the list goes on and you just call them all exceptions. And that's not even mentioning the old guard, which continues to pump out some solid shit here and there.

You can't keep saying they are exceptions when the South is pretty much the only region coming out with solid music right now, probably has some of the only creative hip hop acts to come out in the last few years, all while the rest of the country has become a joke.
