"Da Middle"

One of my guy's decided to have a cook out and while there a very redundant conversation came up. We (six of us) started talking about the state of hip hop. What we did like, didn't like and who we didn't like. Everyone had respectable opinions even though majority agreed on a lot. But, the interesting thing about the conversation is that two of us happen to be rappers (including me). And, one thing that we all seemed disgusted with is the irrelevance the mid west has or had in Hip hop. Mainly every artist that has been successful hasn't been able create a movement in the mid west. Artist such Kanye, Eminem, Twista and other notable artist have all had major success. But that success still brings no justice to the mid west because no mid west city has become a Mecca such as Atlanta, Houston or Miami, places that can actually break an artist if he/she can maintain a buzz. In the mid west it doesn't matter how much buzz one gets, it's merely impossible to get a break. Most people have to relocate in order to get somewhere and that shit ain't cool.

My city has already made it clear it will mildly support local artists. Seeing local DJ's jump the bandwagon time and time again is getting irritating (certain local artist are force fed). With all that going against many artists that are out of that loop, they have to keep griding. Local artist need to expose themselves in places that support and keep the music alive. The mid west is a dead market entirely at this time. The dollars spent will not bring much sense to an artist digressing in a dead market. When you don't see a way, you have to keep searching. Artist have to get back to grass roots, which is objective to this internet movement, but I'll speak on that later. Your the only one that will do for you at this point so do all that you can. Remember, you get back what you put in so if you are smart with the money you invest in your music career you'll be highly rewarded.

Clipse

I just heard a new track from the Clipse. I've been sleepin' on them for a while I didn't really follow their cd mixtape. I've really been out of the loop with them. But, their new track "I'm kind of a big deal" is real official. None of the Zshare links work. You can check the track by clickin' on the pic.

Twista- Wetter

Twista is back at it again, still stickin' with the formula that always works. Twista has an album droppin' in June 2009 but I'm not sure of the date yet.
