Hip Hop Culture

I have been a fan of Epic-Fu since its JetSet days. One of the reasons why I started blogging about Hip Hop so constantly is because of Epic-Fu. Epic-Fu is all about internet culture and it helped me to realize what I am all about, which is Hip Hop culture. What other subject could I be more knowledgeable about than what I live and breathe everyday? My blog is all about Hip Hop and Hip Hop culture so check it out. You might like it.

The reason for this thread is because I want all of you Mix members to post your favorite Hip Hop artists on the thread whether they are mainstream or unsigned hype. By doing so I have a better idea of what artists you all are interested in. Helping me will help me publish more posts about the artists that you guys care about the most. So post the names of your favorite Hip Hop artists and a website or MySpace page if you can. Thanks!

As far as the indie scene, I've been listening to these folks a lot:
The Grouch

There's more for my list, but that's who I can name off the top of the dome.; ▶ Reply to This
