Like Jim said not all things commercial are wack, after all we're fans of JJFP and they put out commercial music, Lupe puts substance into his lyrics and that's something that very few do these days, it's about time that people start to recognize talent

kirk franklin is a great artist ginuwine "same ol g"

Yeah I wish Wyclef all the best, we don't need to lose another legend...

Haha, well deserved Tim!

RIP Nate Dogg, here's another one of his classic hooks:

keith sweat make you sweat

2Pac's one of my favorite rappers but I think that if he was alive today he probably would be slept on like a lot of my favorites that still make music today, there's still some great artists alive still, the main problem is just that the majority of people who buy music today don't know what good music is, commercial hip hop was going to fall off no matter what since the teenyboppers make up the majority of record sales

I was never really fascinated by Eminem either, sure he could spit, but I don't think that his albums are that great as people make them out to be

RIP Nate Dogg, the hookmaster of hip hop:

Whenever I hear R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly", I always feel like I could make it through anything:
