I have no desire to find out what a CAC rapper is. I have a feeling that I just don't want to know because I'll probably have to facepalm for the nth time today.
@Pete, yeah, that was the redemption post. But he's a relative n00b with less than 200 posts. Most of those hiveminders were 10,000+ posters... but then again, most of their posts are quotes of other peoples posts with no added substance.
@Sparky I can see what you mean, although I can tell these guys are not 'underground' friendly. Where I sit, underground and mainstream lines have been broken. The internet is here beotches deal with it. But some people will go down kicking and screaming trying to be on the one next big top40 hit. These people are literally waiting on/excited about eminem still ...about rehab. Get a ****in grip, get your hip-hop head out of 10 years ago and get with the program.
As far as actual underground heads turning on Aesop, I haven't really seen it...yet. Where I sit there are two types of people on the issue: Fans of Aesop or people who haven't heard of him still. Well, I don't like to count strangers ... but when I show someone I don't know Aesop I get a "oh that's... that's tight... yeah..." but I see it going over their head, as it went over mind the first 100 times I heard him. So there's a bit of a backburner mentality on it, like, oh this is complicated but I can tell there's a lot of good in this... but I just don't have the time to devote to figuring it out. I can see that, I can respect that and understand that. As long as at some point you delve into it. I feel like people miss out on Aesop just because they're looking for fastfood music and Aesop be serving up the 5 course meal.
