Our apologies. We ran into a technical issue for the moment. We are resetting a few things. Please excuse us. The Megamix Two will be up before this weekend. How was the video? Was it to your expectations to the first one?

You literally have to be a chemist to get the workings of spray paint down to a science, or a now a chemist. It's one thing to understand pigments, it's another thing to understand the viscosity of various mediums, as well as be versed enough in toxicity laws for those mediums. Working on pigments for types of mops is hard enough, when you have to use Marsh bases and or Pilot, or One shot, let alone figure it out on your own. There's not a lot of resources out there, and much like the tattoo community, no one wants to give an insight on their recipes to benefit the culture. It is after all, a niche market, and breaking into such a market requires a high level of education, as well as software, and much of the other ideas you brought up. I think that is the main issue, the inability to have someone that has the education in all those areas AND ULTIMATELY loves hip hop and Graffiti with a passion. That person would be pretty rich and have a pretty big empire if they worked on all these ideas from scratch and knew how to execute them.

The thing about this article, that statement is more about today's state of women in Hip Hop music and the recording industry. Every chick that looks sexy, or sells sex, to the cameras gets the nod. This is why that opening statement was made but followed up with the current state of Hip Hop music and rap's exposure.

Right now, we have too many solid female MCs having to take a backseat to these other bums selling porn fantasies. It is funny, because it is well known females are the stronger consumers of buying music. This makes us believe that these fake female MCs are only being used for music videos to garner more male viewership for the advertising dollar. It is not like these current women ever truly break the bank on their own. I think the last real female MC who did was Eve, but at least she was Hip Hop.

I believe a seasoned Jean Grae should be the current star not video bait like Nikki Minaj who just showed up, but that is what happens when the masses believe the hype over real Hip Hop music.

No doubt if take vocal delivery,lyrics, beats and all around flow and presence MC Lyte is best.

There/are better females lyricists (Jean Grae,Latifah,Invincible,Lauryn) and better female emcees with flow and presence (Monie Love,Sirah,Sha Rock) but nobody has been more consistent than Lyte.

We recommend getting a blog and podcast on all networks on a weekly basis or do a series. Use video for more exposure and contribute a line of thought.

That is why rap music must die so Hip Hop music can live and shine once again.

in the early 80s you had cats like busy bee just keeping the party going w/ voice and rhythm [busy bee is a FUNNY guy, too, though-- even his 2010 stuff like that newer "married girl" song w/ Greenie and KRS -- is a laugh a minute in a dope way to deep lyrics]... then late 80s--we got philosophical.. deep... then in the late 90s--people started getting stupid--flowing became more important than content

I've heard this 'hip-pop' phrase before but I don't like it as it sound too much like HipHop and phonetically would lead to misunderstanding, also its nothing new at all just more 'pop' with a little 'rapping' or slurring added into it.

Most of the djs you mentioned were my inspiration in starting my own dj business. They helped me realize that in the music industry anyone can be successful if they manage to bring something fresh into their music .

this is a great list...i been pondering this alot..it actually scares me that there might not be a spot in the market for as true to form head anymore, ive even gone so far as to say, well maybe when burning cd's came out, they had to start hitting up club hoes, groupies, and wanna be for the the money more because they could be force fed garbage, real people wouldnt buy.. its a shame man, cause you cant learn any thing from these cats these days, you cant relate...remember when this shit was the voice of the struggle? that was hip-hop, that was rap...it's an entertainment industry catered to lames, im an aspiring artist momentarily, learned it from freestylin since i was a kid...i cant even hear these dudes and be like, yeah, he was there, or yeah he knows about it...it's all fluff,, no weight..at this point in life im living in the 90's and new mellenium selectively, and have neve felt more on my own page in my life..maybe thats why a dude that thinks like us can be smart enough in todays market to shut it down...if it happens, i put itall on the line to say he'd be the next one of the greats.

We have to listen to it from beginning to end. I will forward this to my
boys. As a matter of fact we need to update that article, too. The links
are no good.

Thanks for checking us out!
