” I know artists that made records without record labels. I don’t know too many record labels that made records without artists.”  Well said, Jeff.

This blog receives thousands of vistors per day and has over 4,000 subscribers that get post updates sent directly to their email addresses, but I feel like I know only a very small percentage of you. So once a week I’m going to open up a discussion or forum thread to change that so that I can not only get to know most of you, but you can get to know each other, and we can discuss hip hop. Networking is great, especially since most of the readers here are other artists, fans, or music business entrepreneurs.

So, introduce yourself, sound off, and or provide your links in the comment section below.

I’m Funkworm and I am a hip hop junkie. And you are?…

On June 19th,the Fuse channel will launch a scripted series called The Hustle, based on the journey of two independent hip hop artists trying to make it in the music business.

These dudes went H.A.M. on this one. R.A. and Talib both released some amazing projects this year. I got quite a bit of social media blowback and emails about my article declaring that hip hop is better today. The nature of those critiques were whiny rants about the lack of quality today. Hip hop is evolving and progressing. You can stay stuck in the past if you want. The rest of us are moving forward. #fuckouttaherewiththat

Prodigy and Havoc briefly address their feelings about the relevance of labels in this clip.

Quit your yappin about the 90s being the better era of hip hop! Nostalgia has it’s place. I’m a product of old school hip hop but these days are much better. Here are 5 reasons why:

1. Variety:

There’s hip hop all over the place. All types. Sure a lot of it sucks ass, but there’s some really great hip hop out there also. You gotta take the good with the bad.

2. The music is always available:

Most artists have made their music free for you to stream or listen to before you make the decision to purchase it. Wanna hear something? Read the rest of this entry »

“Yo, I plaster the nation, causing evacuation
My manifestation got ‘em patient from how I keeps it amazing
See, I’m the reason niggas need some training
While I’m inflicting the pain and making it suitable for any occasion”
