new hip hop picks

MickeyBreezy	Date: May 14, 2007 @ 11:46 PM the other thread was hella old, so i made a new one, hope thats ok... anyway, what hip hop artists do you guys like on here, cuz i'm beginning to think i'm the only rapper left.
MickeyBreezy	Date: May 18, 2007 @ 6:34 PM ok, sweet.....nobody listens to rap on here, thats the best news i've gotten in a long time.
moam	Date: May 18, 2007 @ 7:01 PM Well, I really dig "Something So" by MickeyBreezy Also TDUBB can be pretty good sometimes. Nawlige is pretty good, especially "Hate On Us Now". Other rappers that left that I have always enjoyed: -Dislocated Boner -Dizeazed -some from OneHalf -Tony Tran To name a few
MickeyBreezy	Date: May 18, 2007 @ 8:11 PM yea, those are all great artists, but you kinda made my point, all of the good ones have left. i'm trying to find new artists on here, cuz i havent seen any active hip hop users on here since dizzy left really.
leedsquietman	Date: May 19, 2007 @ 8:46 AM Looks like you're the guy to drum up some support K3 is probably the most active and even his participation has been significantly less recently. I hope Tallisman returns, that guy seriously converted me to liking some hip hop, a genre I never fancied previously, his music was smooooth. Additionally, that guy is seriously knowledgeable about music technology and digital recording and gets my respect for that.
K3VIN	Date: May 19, 2007 @ 2:35 PM I havent posted a lot lately cause I've been super busy and been doing some local stuff. I haven't made any songs really, I have written a lot, and I've been working hard to improve. My step dad has been helping me learn how to mix when we are both free and I've been invited to a couple online battle tournements and used the opportunity to practice mixing in an easy setting lol. But expect some real songs up this summer cause I wanna start performing live. Good to see your still active though Mickey Breezy.
NickSawyer	Date: May 20, 2007 @ 2:01 PM Moam's got some great rap
MickeyBreezy	Date: May 20, 2007 @ 9:02 PM so i've decided there is no hope, and here's why... every suggestion thusfar has been of people i a) used to listen to before, but they arent active anymore or b) i listen to some of their stuff now, which means i already know about them. this leads me to believe that there are actually no new, good hip hoppers on here to discover.
leedsquietman	Date: May 20, 2007 @ 9:53 PM Given what happened to the last battles you might well be right. So how about some promoting to get us back on track, I mean the battles were decent contests with reasonable prizes for a free website in the past. Seems the kind of rap/hip hop fan we've been attracting lately are just using the upload space to store illegal mp3s or are all talk and no substance. So, if they're not here, where did the hip hop drain take everyone?
MickeyBreezy	Date: May 21, 2007 @ 1:39 AM i dunno, i've been tryna get ahold of dizzy forever to find out where he is at and what he's doing, to no avail tho. i know myspace has alot of them, and also soundclick, and purevolume is making headway as well. anytime somebody tells me about their myspace page i always tell them they should get a DM account as well so they can have more than 4 tracks, but i havent really converted anyone yet. as far as soundclickers and purevolumeists, the track limit isnt a question so much as the fact that i think most of the rappers dont really care about the community aspect of sites, which is sad. they just wanna upload a slew of tracks and say they have a site. i would love it if we had more rappers on here so i could interact w/ new people and get advice and feedback from new ears. it was soooo great when we had all the old DM fav's on here we need more. i refuse to go to other sites, like i have a myspace (but so does everyone ever) but i suck at the internet, so i cant figure out all the other layouts. i've been thinking about setting up accounts on other sites just for pure promotion, but thats so much damn work. RAPPERS, COME TO DMUSIC ITS BETTER THAN SEX ON A PILE OF MONEY....TRUST ME!!!!!!!!!!!
MickeyBreezy	Date: May 21, 2007 @ 1:44 AM ^^disclaimer: if the above statement is found anything less than 100% true by any newcomers, i hearby give you full authorization to fill shadowmom's shoutbox with your complaints, and i mean FILL it, she'll love it, i promise.

zedsalt	Date: May 21, 2007 @ 10:40 AM Ever listen to any of this or this? I keep thinking I read somewhere here in the forums that you're from the Elkhart, IN area; is that right? If so, the stuff I mentioned was produced about one county away from you...
MickeyBreezy	Date: May 22, 2007 @ 3:05 PM yea, im from elkhart. i've talked to jd before about a collab. dont think we ever really made any headway tho.
leedsquietman	Date: May 22, 2007 @ 4:34 PM purevolume has track limits. (4 tracks for free accounts) soundclick only offers 128 Kbps uploads on free accounts but yes, it has many people uploading hip hop and even more spamming other people's mailboxes with 'beetz for sale'. They are not active as a community though, apart from uploading music... myspace ... well, yes but how do you get noticed and stand out from 100 million people, plus 4 track limit and terrible resampling to lower bitrates... I think for people like Dizzy and TLK etc that the shoutbox worked against DM, many talentless idiots kept flaming them, so soundclick would work better for them. They were also getting more hits at myspace and soundclick, so why bother coming to DM just for a bunch of crap... It's very important that DM does something to promote itself for hip hop, we have thousands of registered users claiming hop hop but can't get 16 people to finish a battle contest with prizes?
MickeyBreezy	Date: May 22, 2007 @ 4:46 PM yea, its pretty sad. like i said, i remember when hip hop was huge on here, but anymore alternative and electronic have become the majority genre's of late. thats why i started the thread in collaborations about some crossover stuff, cuz there's no rappers to collab w/, and i love doing crossovers anyway, so i guess i sorta win for losing huh?
hantu	Date: May 22, 2007 @ 4:52 PM I started as hiphop, but nothing i made came out hiphop.
MickeyBreezy	Date: May 22, 2007 @ 5:01 PM hahaa, dont ya hate when that happens
K3VIN	Date: May 22, 2007 @ 9:28 PM I loved when I first came here and there was so many rappers.And even though it wasn't positive, the most active and exciting part was all them beefs lol.
K3VIN	Date: May 22, 2007 @ 9:29 PM fuck it, ima drop a track on lil jay in fact. Hip Hop must live!!!
MickeyBreezy	Date: May 22, 2007 @ 11:45 PM the beef was crazy, and a little fun, but it got old quick. people just randomly dissin others to get a name, it started to get outta hand. i remember back when not only was hip hop thriving on here, but we had all those people doin collabs, and everything was great. that was the best, and endless supply of new talent, and nobody thought they were too good to work w/ anybody else (barring absolute lack of talent, lol) shit was ill.
officernarc	Date: May 23, 2007 @ 6:20 AM well, i haven't really sat down to listen to anything besides a few of mickey breezy's tracks, so i can't really comment on the decline of hip hop on dmusic. maybe it was just a bunch of motherfuckers fronting, trying to make cash, but realizing that to actually make it anywhere in the music industry that it takes a lot more work than posting messages on myspace that you've got a new album out.
