have you listened to any new hiphop that isnt played on hot 97 in the last 10 years?
or you just really want names?
heres one...
phonte
i think he is a real dope emcee
clever, nice lines, technically dope emcee (whatever that means), multisyllable rhymes, open personality, sometimes has a good msg, etc etc
i listen, appreciate, and never put his cds back into my radio
compare him to doom who is a sloppy rhyming old fat man with a metal mask on, who i listen to endlessly
yet there are 600 phontes in underground hiphop right now for every ONE doom
not so long ago emcees were larger then life
now everyone is an emcee
i guess i just want one of these everyones to be a super hero
but ill very happily settle for an interesting story line or something different from 'straight spitting'
disclaimer 1- if you think this was a diss to phonte youre prolly a fag who needs to man up and get off phonte's dick. i have a great deal of respect for the man as an emcee but he is clearly an example of the everyday man emcee.
disclaimer 2- fag as used above is not meant to carry any anti-homosexual implications. just a general term to disparriage all those regardless of sexual preference.
