And to be very fair Blu- Below The Heavens overall is a better west coast album that got no push.
If only I can take the themes and lyrics of GKMC, with Exiles production, & less Kenderick on choruses. -
Ren was my favorite as a kid. He hasn't done anything noteworthy in about 20 years

Jazz, Blues and Rock N Roll seem to have run their course. Is it inconceivable that Hip Hop is on its way out?
Is Country Music on its way out?
How come nobody ever talks ? about White, Latin, African, Australian or Asian music? Why only Black American music
I think you're missing the point. Those aren't traditionally black american forms of music that get coopted by white americans.
In fact, one could easily make the argument that country music is the blues as done by white people so it's evidence of the trend not a disproof of it.
Why did u take my point from the ignorance u regurgitated and lose it in the sauce?
Ignore the truth all u want ? ass ?
Never go full ? . -

Are any of those guys getting consistent radio spins and mainstream attention? Only Kendrick and to a lesser extent J Cole was able to really breakthrough. Now do you want me to name the rappers that dropped amazing music AND got mainstream attention? This is why this era sucks. You gotta look under rocks to find good music while the wack ? is all we're hearing. -

I think putting out music he considers to be good is helping his problem. MC REN is a legend why should he be bitter -

You missed the point. You shouldn't HAVE TO. Why is garbage music so readily available and easily accessible. But the good stuff is hidden? -

Not everybody desires to search for music like that. Honestly if it wasn't for this site I wouldn't even know or heard half the stuff I've heard over the last 10+ years. -

its not hidden tho, turning on a blog site like the ic or loggin on to live mixtapes or listening to satellite radio aint no harder than switchin on mainstream radio -

Right but not everybody is thinking about going on blog sites or listening to satellite radio. There are millions of people that don't know about blog sites like that. They get their hip hop fix through the radio. So in their eyes the mainstream stuff is the representation of the current state of hip hop. -
You got to remember, Ren is from an era where if you think a ? is wack you tell him. If making music is your income why not worry about a wack ? stealing your shine...it was cool for KL to call ? out on a song but when an old school ? does it he's bitter?Peezy_Jenkins wrote: »soulbrother wrote: »Peezy_Jenkins wrote: »soulbrother wrote: »

KL didnt diss anyone tho, and if what ren making is that nice, there's a good chance its gon shine through with the right people regardless of who else has shine, now with him talkin that ? , some will look at his new ? like "this ? talked all that ? and its garbage" or they gon act like its super nice whether it is or not cuz he from tha past and he talked ?5th Letter wrote: »Peezy_Jenkins wrote: »5th Letter wrote: »Peezy_Jenkins wrote: »5th Letter wrote: »MrCrookedLetter wrote: »

ok thats them, why worry about how other people percieve the current state of hip hop, u know better than them so do better bruh, dont say its wack how they see hip hop w/o tryna put em on the good ? , ? come around me talm bout that quan, i at least try to put em on that krit. i dont get how bolded dictates the state of hip hop for you if u know u have other easy avenues to find the good ass music -
Honestly if you don't know how to look for new music in 2014 without the use of the radio... thats your loss, there's a reason why we have YouTube, Datpiff etc.

You gotta look under a rock to find dope music. ? is literally at your finger tips.

Mainstream music is the most popular music obviously, but to hip hop fans we know how to get access to dope ? . We aren't talking about me or you that post on a hip hop site. There's plenty of people that don't know about datpiff or any of those sites. They only know whatever the radio and MTV and BET plays. No one should have to go to obscure websites just to hear dope ? . It should be as easily accessible as a YG song on the radio. THATS MY POINT. -

We shouldn't have to do all that. The radio should play more Krit and Ab Soul and give it as much spins as the garbage like Migos. -

Well tell whoever you know that listens to the radio to request those artists, and if they don't get played, blame the DJs... I understand and I agree with your point about balance on the radio... but whining about it won't help... remember all those discussions about New York radio that everyone had late last year?....
You have to do your part as well to let them know what you want....

I'm not whining about it. I've said countless times that I think there's a lot of good artists out there. But they don't get represented in the mainstream like the wack rappers. As for the radio real change has to occur at the top. -
