Round About by Diverse might drop this year, Diverse is criminally underrated. I mean, just listen to this ****

I think Lupe Fiasco is great and I'm really looking forward to Eminem and Dre's albums (i hope Dre's is worth waiting for because we've heard so much about it for like 10 years now!) and I'm really feeling the collab between Nas and Damian Marley, I want to hear a lot more from those two.

One rapper I'm interested in right now is B.O.B, he's fresh and doing great things right now. I love his track Nothin On You, I've been playing that all week! Can't wait to hear a lot more form him too. Hip Hop is definitely going in the right direction.

No one is talking about whether or not hip hop is trendy.

one artist im actually excited about more than im going is jay electronica. what a beast.

YouTube - Jay Electronica ft. Mos Def - Exhibit A / B / C (Cub MegaMix)

Even though Cole is dope he's going to have to come real hard on his album to get peoples eyes and ears off of Drake. Maybe it's to his advantage that he's underrated right now. Hopefully, cause he does say some real ****.

Yea I agree with you on most of that except the BOB part. now dont get me wrong he is very talented and has potential but i think the only reason he is so big is bc he has all the superstar artists on his album from lupe to eminem. so what im trying to say is would u buy his album if he had no features in it? but i give him props for doing that bc he really got noticed

I understand what you're saying, however I really liked Nothin On You before I'd even heard of B.O.B or who he'd collaborated with. I loved Bruno Mars voice on the track and I got the Lupe vibe from B.O.B and as a Lupe fan I wanted to check him out. I heard some more of his stuff and really liked it. There's been a lot of new rappers out there, backed by other successful rappers who haven't produced great stuff. His stuff is really good and if he continues to put out great tracks like Nothin On You then I'll be happy!

B.O.B is god awful. I don't even mind a lot of commercial rap, but B.O.B is crap and nobody is going to remember him in a year.

Black Eyed Peas are one of those groups that get really popular, but only for a short time and then they die down for awhile, but then come back with a hit single or something. Just because a group has 1 or 2 good songs on an album doesn’t make them a good group.

I'm psyched for new Dre and Onyx, that is about it.
Sadly I love gangsta rap and it is dead.
I'm sad that people consider the rap now a days gangsta.

We need some new poor ass hungry rapper to come out and drop a record and keep it real.
