Serious question:

Does anybody listen to "indie" hip-hop at all anymore?

There was a time when I felt like the underground was the only place where substance could be found in the genre. The alt-rap dudes. The Dels and Clouddeads and the Soles and Blackaliciouses of the world. Anticon. Atmosphere. Blu-blah blah.

I haven't listened to anything like that in ages and ages. I still throw on Blazing Arrow every once in a while, but it's been a bit since I've had any desire to listen to that uber serious Selling Live Water crunchy roll crap.

With artists like Kendrick in the mainstream, who the hell needs a bunch of guilty white guys rapping about their guilt over what sounds like 764-hero music?
