Great list.

I hope Talib and Mos make a follow-up to the Blackstar album.

Great list.

I hope Talib and Mos make a follow-up to the Blackstar album.

yeah they are eventually going to make one, but both artists are supposedely too "busy" (too lazy) to do it... im still waiting for it

[Ujio]

I hear there's one in the works. But that's all I've heard so far.

Hm, I wish there was a Common Xanga layout thingie. I'm noob and have yet to learn about making one. :P

I hope Talib and Mos make a follow-up to the Blackstar album.

John Legend is the shit too.

But my fave MC right now is Common. I love his music videos too, especially 'Come Close' with Mary J. Blige.

Haha, I was a sucker for that one.

Wait, what? Alicia Keys is underground?
Since when?

//EDIT

Underground
Un•der•ground (un’der ground’), n., adj.

1) A genre in music and other forms of media intended for an elite audience, that is often characterized by its high levels of originality and experimentation, and does not conform to typical standards, trends, or hypes as set by the popular mainstream media.

link: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?...underground&r=f

So I guess under this definition, the artists we've listed would be considered underground... except for Eminem...

[*Azarel*]

I was wondering the same thing but since Steven had her in his list, I added her too. *shrugs*

Silly boy also has Kanye West and Eminem as underground.

[*tweeak*]

could we please stop making unauthorized new versions of topics?

[jnukes]

i'm actually starting to gett into it ..

it started like in January , when i d/l 'ed The Beautiful Struggle .. and actually ' understanding ' tha lyrics .. and rhymes .. i wanted to find out other artists like Kweli , checked out some of tha artist's on that list of Steven's .. and yeah ..

now all i have to say for myself is -- " how did i EVER like mainstream .. " ..

i'm so stupid .. hah ..

[*basick*]

^ it was never an official topic and it had over 21 pages.

And I just copied my favorite musicians list from xanga, it was mostly underground and I didn't feel like making a new one, so there you go. And read roxanne's definition of underground too, if that means anything.

lets get some music discussion in here.

[jnukes]

^ okay


i read in some other topic .. that -- " mos def was currently working on a album as we speak " ..

that true ?

[xquizit]

Not sure. The dude's been mad busy with acting and stuff... but I'd be more than happy if he released another. Would be even better if he hooked back up with Talib Kweli and dropped another classic album.

[jnukes]

" acting & stuff " ? ..


what's he gonna be in ?

[*basick*]

Well, he just finished Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.. lol

[jnukes]

eghh -- i'm not updated w/ my movie knowledge ..

[Ujio]

Well Mos just did 'The hitchhikers Guide' which was pretty boring to be honest, lol.

But I hear they're going to make 'The Italian Job 2'.

And Mos Def has been in the recording studio as of late, I think. I'm pretty sure we'll be seeing a follow-up to 'The New Danger'. And I think we'll see a new Blackstar album maybe within this year.

I'll find links to this ish.

[*Kathleen*]

Hmm...would Emma count as underground? Hmm.

[xquizit]

" acting & stuff " ? ..

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0080049/

You didn't know he was an actor? A pretty good one at that.

[heyyfrankie]

Well, he just finished Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.. lol

he was in that?

[*tweeak*]

yeah, he played ford prefect

did anyone else notice how people had randomamerican accents? annoying as hell [/irrelevant]

[racoons > you]

^ it was never an official topic and it had over 21 pages.

you missed the point.

if you create a new version of a topic without telling a mod, then the other version wont be closed, and people wont reaize a new version i sup. that leads to two identical topics floating around when one would suffice

minus the bear have made a good impression, to stay on topic

[*tweeak*]

minus the bear is good. i have the album; ill burn it for you when you come
