Im so glad to see intelligent replies in this thread...Not just ignorant beefing between reply-ers.

Yes I know theres really no such thing as "real" and "fake" hip-hop...I more or less mispoke myself and you guys took the wrong meaning away from it. What I meant by real and fake is the ideas expressed in the seperate forms. As 4eyez says above me, (and many of you others) A lot of hip-hop is objectifying women and gloryfying drug use and what not. It is cookie cutter with not a lot of people puting out anything I havent heard before. This doesnt strike me as "real" hip-hop...Not hip-hop as I have listened too or would like to hear. I prefer heads like Aesop Rock or Dose One or El-P who are a little abstract but thasts just an opinion. Sure Commerical is produced better, sounds better, they have more resources, but I like undergrond at its roots. These roots are now bound to get more exposure because of this interview and overall is good for underground hip-hop.

Keep these thoughts coming!
