DECEMBER IS HERE 2008 COMING TO A CLOSE

What a year..nothing really monumental to recall off hand. A lot of hype, and some big disappointments but what else is new. As I look ahead at 2009, what do we have to really look forward to in hip-hop music? I would love to see respect come back to the game and a code of ethics enforced. Am I crazy?? The answer is yes I guess.

In my opinion you look at shows like TRL and RapCity all going off the air..it's a result of garbage music being forced out, and the majority of real listeners are fed up. It's apparent more than ever that corporate America is behind the scenes controlling hip-hop and not giving balance to the game as a whole. I remember tuning into Yo MTV Raps or Video Juke Box and getting the opportunity to see real hip-hop music in effect, from the real deal, underground, to commercial styles all mixed up giving balance. But now..money is being pumped into the projects like T-Pain, Lil Wayne type styles etc, leaving no room for more legitimate styles of hip-hop to get any airtime.

So what does that leave for 2009? Is there really going to be room for legit hip-hop to have a space in the game. Don't get me wrong..I know real shit is going down and getting released..I'm just talking about seeing and hearing real hip-hop on a large scale. I'd like to see a Gangstarr re-union to crack off 09 for starts..and see real producers like Dj Premier, Alchemist, Pete Rock, Large Pro, etc etc..getting some real shine and working with real mc's putting out quality work and getting some heavy airtime. We need the real cats to finally speak their minds and talk about what's really going down.

Instead of mc's speaking their minds..it seems like they're happy just to be able to have a album coming out. It's sad but true...I heard a incredible new Jada banger I'll put below that is off the meters. I personally think he should have done it solo but you gotta do what you gotta do nowadays to get the rest of the game to open their freakin ears nah mean? Well either way..peace out to 08 and raise your glass for hopefully a more substantial 09.

On a side note: Kool Sphere's "Dream's Don't Die" album is being mixed right now, and I will be meeting up with my man DJ LD from Technicali to be laying the final cuts and scratches down to make things official. Once everything is back, mixed and in place, I will decide on how I will present out previews and shit. Below is a example from the upcoming album...

Have a happy Holiday if I don't get back on here and we'll see what time it is.
