Well, you lot have definately got me going now, because Hip hop has played a MASSIVE part in my life. I used to be a DJ, and even used to enter scratch competitions, and the only thing that stopped me becoming a Hip hop producer when I was younger, was that there was no money to be made in the music in Britain, due to the refusal of our major labels to get behind it, and back it. As for all the people putting it down, I don't blame you one bit, as the stuff that gets played on Radio 1, and MTV, has mostly been utter garbage, for the last 12/13 years. If you want to hear the real stuff, that's made by people who actually finished High School, you have to venture into the "underground", as it can usually only be found on small, independent labels.
Anyway, to prove my point, I'll post some of my favourite youtube videos, to try and change your opinions on the music. Unfortunately, a lot of the really good stuff has been removed from the site, in the last 6 months, but there's still some decent stuff left. Right, I'm off to youtube.
