Here is a post which is a must read.  Originally posted Jan. 11, 2010

Three years ago, many consumers were not aware of the internets vast archive and information on new music from artists. In the mainstream music scene, “hip-crap” was being played 24/7 on my local NYC stations , hot 97, 105.1fm (rumors have it payola might be involved). You had big media outlets like MTV and the like, touting artists which, have ties back to their giant viacom empire.

Meanwhile, all over the US of A hip-hop heads were in a quandry. The more techies of the group never skipped a beat, Foriegn exchange wa forme dove rthe internet. The others waited til the likes of kidz in the hall and drake to realize the internet could actually produce stars and with a distribution model unparallel to anything out there. Stars in the making are being given ‘shine time’. Long live the internet, long live Good Hip hop.

P.s  I should say in backing of mainstream media, in that it really was never an outlet for good hip hop. Those who did make it in the ‘ golden era of hip-hop’, did so because it was new. Once a tribe went mainstream, so did the chance of artisits like them ever having that kind of sucess.

Now enjoy some good hip hop and articles to begin the week.
