Emanon is dope as hell. Aloe is a great emcee

If your buzz revolves more around your style and the current state of fashion than your music - then that's a problem...

This is no different than the underground hip hop scene of the late 90s that had all the backpackers drinkin 40s talkin bout how dope "Soundbombing" was and how Rawkus brings "the real". You see how that %%$# worked out, huh?

The backpackers wear dunks and designer jeans now - same dudes, different look.

I pass on all except Wale...GTFOHWTBS.

fa'real.

replace Blu w/ Wale though.

 

[zeus23]

I never actually listened to any of them except COOL KIDS (who are prolly NT members)

Wale is OKKKAAYYY---but i am not impressed (it's sounds like he wants to be Kanye). Doesnt sound like he can make that HIT SONG Like Through the Wire or aStronger...prolly fall off like Joe Buddens
Kidz In The Hall--- Never heard of em' but I was feelin a couple joints I checked out... download worthy
The Cool Kid-- temporary, will never carry hip-hop... Soulja Boy-esque
Blu & Exile--never heard of em but a couple tracks sounded REALLY NICE reminded me of a Nas.....

IMO

 

[jomitm]

[jomitm]

BUMP

Aloe is a great musician period, and Exile is a beast on the MPC.

Your absolutely right. He can play almost any instrument and kill it whether singin or rappin, english or spanish....undeniable. Exile is definitelya beast. I haven't heard too many producers cut samples as well as he does. One of the best doin it

 

[nyckone]

Exile and aloe are from south oc. Laguna hills and mission viejo area.

Anybody up on Brother Reade www.myspace.com/brotherreade? They are some hipster-hop duo from LA by way of norht carolina. People dig them here in LA. I disliketheir dj/producer, bobby evans, on a personal level for good reasons,, but they do have a few good tracks.

 

[phillie5o3]

love The Cool Kids.

"88" is on repeat for me.

 

[eg47]
