EVERYTHING HIP HOP

WITH THE RECENT TREND OF RINGTONE BEATS AND BUBBLE GUM LYRICS IN HIP HOP I FELT THE NEED TO CREATE A BLOG DEDICATED TO REAL HIP HOP AND THE ISSUES SURROUNDING IT. HIP HOP CULTURE IS A MAJOR INFLUENCE IN MANY PEOPLE'S LIVES, AND THAT EFFECT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE NEGATIVE. THERE IS A LOT OF HIP HOP THAT NEEDS TO BE HEARD, BUT UNFORTUNATELY MAINSTREAM MEDIA HAS TURNED THE MUSIC I LOVE INTO POP. THIS BLOG WILL ATTEMPT TO SAVE HIP HOP AS I KNOW IT…HIP HOP ISN'T DEAD, IT LIVES UNDERGROUND ~ONE LOVE~

Doomtree - Drumsticks (Video) + Traveling Dunk Tank

Here are a couple of video's from Minnesnowta's own Doomtree. The first video (Drumsticks) is very creative and semi-comical, but is also a very dope song. Anyone else noticed that Minneapolis is holiding it down with the Indie Hip Hop in 07-08? Big ups...

There self-titled album is in stores now...go cop that!

ALBUM RATINGS

10 - Straight Classic. Probably ten albums alltime I would put in this category.
9 - Great Album - This is probably as high as it will get (until Detox finally drops)
8 - Solid album - Solid all the way thru with a few great tracks
7 - Good Album - Solid all the way thru, not to many stand out tracks
6 - Decent - Worth a listen, but I wouldn't pay for it
5 - Average Album - Ahh unless you're a huge fan of the artist you should probably skip this album
4 - Don't Bother. A few decent tracks, but overall weak.
3 - Why did even waste my time writing this review?
2 - Nope.
1 - Soulja Boy Status-'nuff said.
