    ok...
    i need to alter my stance a little bit because of this... if u look at iTunes there are a bunch of white rappers popping up out of nowhere...
    there is gonna be a need to separate the corporate rappers from the grassroots rappers...
    with that said, ? the corporate rappers.

    Poll analysis :

    The optimistic IC is outnumbered by the pessimistic side : 67 % of the voters dont see an improving as opposed to the 33%...

    For the moment.

    Chill homie.

    You acting like Mainstream Hip Hop was just as bad in 2012. Sure - The big stage wasn't hitting like that this year, but real talk, the so-called underground didn't produce classics like that in 2013 either.

    Hi bruh

    Again im not comparing. Wether 2013 is worse as 2012 is another topic imo.
    The point where we agree is that this year is another bad one.
    Thats why i will take a break from the mainstream and lean on the underground in 2014. To be more precise ill buy 80 % underground and 20 % mainstream.

    ESGN is bumped in my phone without SKIPPING
    same goes for BLACK MILK and RUN THE JEWELZ. That s not the case of MCHG and MMLP2.

    That being said we need a poll to know what the IC expect for the albums in the next year.

    My Predictions for 2014's Mainstream

    I honestly think NYC will see a mainstream comeback as the cracks in Ebro's ? embargo on NYC Hip-Hop have become more and more evident with pressure mounting not only recently from the Lox and Talib Kweli, but NY ? in general. Radio play in NYC will improve, and Hot97 will potentially begin to actually break local artists. This will set the precedent for other East Coast stations from 105 to Power 99 in Philly.

    TDE will continue to mount the pressure on the entire industry, if there threat of 6 albums for 2014 are true. Drake, as the current top contender will either finally take notice and become competitive, or ? up and risk losing his spot as Kendrick continues to send sniper shots from Cali to Toronto.

    Musically, Kanye will rise from the ashes of Yeezus like Christ on Easter, as Q-Tip and Rick Rubin are quoted in stating they will produce his next album. Thank ? .

    Diddy will begin to make substantial moves in the industry with Revolt TV. MTV, BET, and other broadcast stations will begin to feel the squeeze, and amend their programming accordingly. Maybe more actual music instead of ? reality shows for a change.

    Hov will be Hov I guess. If the rest of my predictions become true, we will see the return of a more formidable Jay Z in general because the overall Hip-Hop climate will demand it at that point.

    The South got the Outkast album potentially comin' which everyone wants. Big Krit and the serious southern talent will take notice, and follow suit with great projects. Some of these cuts will find global / mainstream success. Other then that, we'll see another catchy summer hit from some new ? , who will proceed to fade away by the new year of 2015. 2Chainz will fall off, either before, or shortly after his third album. Swag.

    Edit: My ? up top mentioned Boosie for 2014. I agree.

    Mark my words ? .

    2013 was the year of the average rapper which means real hip hop is slowly but surely breaking back into the mainstream

    Technically sound but sorta lame rappers like Kendrick and Macklemore (J.Cole) should light the fire under some actual dope spitters out there to find a hook driven formula that works for them and make a viable push for the charts

    watch.

    The threat of white rappers taking over mainstream is on some doomsday preppers ? . Everyone paranoid about white rappers taking over the mainstream game but every year 97% of them are regional like the lower marion kobe. I been saying white execs not trying to push white rappers because even white hipster fans look toward black rappers for street cred. Plus they would rather see black rappers make a mockery of our culture/reaffirm sterotypes then pushing white images.
