i like the site, but the grimm reapa is a little off-base about the roots of hip-hop. hip-hop began as a mindless party-music, full of bragging and saying 'ho!', and was not actually what he portrays it as being.

'the message' didn't come along until nearly the end of sugar hill's reign as the originator, the hip-hop monster, which had produced songs like 'let's dance (make your body move)', 'sugar hill groove' and 'it's nasty (genius of love)', not exactly 'i'm livin in hardship and wearing african colors is gonna rep me outta this ghetto' anthems.

i won't even get into blowfly...

he is dead-on through most of the rest of his diatribe, tho, from my perspective.

other than that, i like the site, and even though i'm white, i've lived the hip-hop life since its beginnings, including being immersed in 'black culture' and living in poverty and society-driven hardship, and will submit my beatz for spitting in the forums.

Cool to see you check it.

About Grimm's Editorial, it's his view, no more no less.

About the forum...lol...it's getting flooded by young brainless, "I fell in love with rap this morning" type of kids.

There's some gems though, advice you to check the "written" section.

The board is mostly dominated by battles and discussions, although there is a poetry section and the written section has some deep rhymes in it.

It would be cool if you post links to beats.

As I said I mostly battle, so I can drop some battle rhymes though, that's no problem, I can also put a link up to an audio battle track (started by the fact that some dude dissed Grimm Reapha, Illhill.com and the mods *me*)

Lemme know what you like.

If you're feeling battles, than I can post some links, or the lyrics itself, if not, than I advice you to check the written and poetry section.
