Sounds like your missing the point of the original enquiry. Zenon M.

Oops. That sounds like he wants to hear about stuff that _isn't_ the stuff that big corporate companies flooded the market with to make money. I don't know if people like Fila Brazilia make music that is 'out of respect for hip-hop' but I don't care. It's fucking good. Nick
