@manufc10 I seem to have turned what started as a music thread into a random rant thread! Oops.
There was always and still is a huge divide in the hip hop community (Yep, global, the Zulu Nation is everywhere!) About the labels gangster rap or reality rap. It might seem like semantics, but the labels have such a huge influence on mainstream societies perception of those groups/demographics. That was my only point, and you are so right, email, text, posting, they can lose so much context in translation.
Music can be so powerful. We all see that. I'd just love artists to take control back from the industry, for there to be more independent labels like mellow music group and rhymesayers with positive artists for kids to hear. More Jean Gray and less Stefflon Don. More Oddisee and less Lil….whoever.
As citizens our only real remaining democratic power left is how we choose to spend our money and how that affects decisions that the economy makes.
Anywho @manufc10 things seemed to work out for us over the years…I mean, we are having this chat across the ocean on a high-end denim brand website! I hope we are both doing ok

MGK diss aside, Eminem is back in full force on his new album. This dude just keeps getting better and better. Video for Lucky You w/ Joyner Lucas just dropped and they are clearly taking shots at the state of hip hop today as is the theme for the whole album pretty much. You can't deny Eminems lyrical skill. His bars on this album are ridiculous, double entendres everywhere and ridiculous flows.
I like the little bit of shit talking humor they throw in this video too.
Edit: and Joyner Lucas is no slouch on the microphone either.

^ This Eminem - Lucky You ft. Joyner Lucas is awesome ^

@bryaneidins70 I had a whole case of C90 cassettes pause button mixed with Mike Allen 'something fresh for the weekend' capital rap show. I also had VHS tapes of N sign radio, westwood's tv show late Friday nights on itv. I've still got some of those. I used to keep an eye out for for this week's import releases that he had in the studio on the back shelf then head down to Brickhouse Records in Grays, Essex, on Saturday morning with my paper round money. This was always a track I loved
