Yes. 99% of major label hiphop is utter crap. I think hiphop is at an all-time low for intelligence in the mainstream, because its not in vogue anymore. However, crews like Heiroglyphics, Latyrx, Jeru, Poor Righteous Teachers, Goodie Mob, Outkast, and Aceyalone are keeping integrity alive. I dont want to turn this into a US vs UK thing, all i said was i havent HEARD any good MCs from Europe. Everyone on big dada except for roots manuva sucks in my opinion, and jazz fudge shit is just way too fucking expensive to buy without hearing first, and try as i might, Westwood wont come in on my radio (damn that ocean). If you or anyone else from the UK are interested in trading tapes of conscious hiphop, i will gladly do so. peace clockwise np: Ollano (wannabe Portishead with french vox. thumbs down)
