2 of the best albums released in the past 12 months.
I was talking to one of my boys the other day....mind you is a real Hip Hop dude. Lives and breathes hip hop on the daily. During our conversation he asked me what joints, mc's, albums, songs etc... am I feeling that are out. So I mentioned Little Brother and Blu&Exile. He'd never heard of either. Now I can understand Blu&Exile...but I assumed he heard of Little Brother..just because they do a have a few albums under their belt. He had no clue as to who they were. But he has heard of 9th Wonder (who was a member of Little Brother)..obviously because 9th has made a solid name for himself as a producer in this game. But as far as his work with his former group, my boy was clueless. It just goes to show that there is so much good music out there we don't hear. For the most part we all listen to the radio and then complain that they play the same things over and over..which is basically true. So it almost seems as if there isn't alot of good music out there...but indeed there is. Alot of these artists don't get the radio play they deserve..but they are out there.
"Radio is not in the Music business. We're in the radio business. Music is what we use to market so we can sell advertisement on the radio station.....Music comes to me, we listen to it and if it fits into our marketing model, then we play it on the radio."
