I've come to the conclusion I've lost touch with the lesser known MC arena...
I'm tired of hearing about Kid Cudi, Drake, Charles Hamilition or other ****ty new comers like them...
I need some music that really makes me passionate about the artform like it used too back in the day...
It seems all the artists that I can even consider underground that I listen too is on one of four labels; Anticon, Rhymesayers, Strange Famous Records or Def Jux. Outside of these labels I feel lost in the underground world of hip hop...
I recently found an artist named Invincible, a female emcee, prior to a week ago I had never heard of before... but she (yes, a she!, that's rare for me) blew me away musically... brought back that passion that made me want to even start writing again...
Here's a link to the song of hers if you are interested; (Maybe it'll help you help me find what kind of hip hop I'm looking for)
YouTube - Invincible - Ropes (Official Music Video) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLyi3LzVAbU)
Once I heard it, it was refreshing & gave me a great hope that there is more hip hop out there that I would love if I could only find it...
I don't care if you consider it nerd rap, hippity hop, or alternative hip hop, just help me... throw me some MC names, I promise to check every single one no matter how long the list is... I need music that inspires me again, I need to feel the artform is still alive & not left to what we have left from the earlier underground scene that is still doing it.
