2013 was a disapointing year mainstream wise. Too many expectations generated by the artists themselves didnt match.
How do you feel about the year to come?

If you frequently promise the storm then always send a sunny sky, im gonna turn my back on you.
The underground is quiet but fierce and full of gems.
But like you i pray for a reaction... -
? the mainstream... That's ? boy ?

We need more than those three mentioned. They got everything on their side to bring some upper class hiphop.
How come French Montana has a deal and not Freddie Gibbs? Of ESGN was pushed by a big powerhouse it would have been plat...
Its not normal that the indy albums match/outmatch the mainstream ones... imo -

Independent Artists have a lot more creative control & Don't Worry as Much about sales. They all made in the same studios with a lot of the same producers. There's not even a reason to get signed anymore, Major Labels don't push albums like you think, I Feel like 2014 gonna be all about Fan Support. Both Indie & Mainstream

STATUS QUO : BIG ANNOUNCES , BIG FLOPPSI really don't see a big named artist coming out next year except for kendrick and nas. maybe if you wanna count ross and jeezy..

If we follow your logic i fear that 2014 will be underground. The creativity is a like an edelweiss in the mainstream field.

imagine hip hop if artists were categorized by talent and not by their affiliation to corporations..
-
I want AB Soul, Schoolboy Q and Jay Electronica to drop an album.

I think that the term Underground has another meaning today.

I was speaking more for Indie artists. I don't really consider anybody 'underground' anymore. All these ? got the same opportunities now.

Nobody get promotion like that no more. ? do they own promotion. That's what Twitter and ? is for. Interviews, Vlogs, and all that is promotion. Labels don't get you that.

honestly its make or break for a few rappers that could be ace hood status if they don't deliver
whipped khalifa-rose: he will have a fanbase but he needs to really put out a solid album that gets all of hip hops attention not just white hipsters and weed heads
tweet mill: has yet to get back to the level of buzz of post DC2. Hes one mediocre away from being ace hood on mediocre music group
future gaye-jackson-kelly-hendrix: He had hooks in 2012 but his buzz for his upcoming album really wasnt about ? which is why it was pushed back. If hes doesn't have a good album hell fade to obscurity.

I THINK THAT 2014 WILL BE BETTER THAN 2013I think underground cats are at fault if they can't get the shine they feel they deserve.
No excuses now. These ? 's got to hit the nets harder. Run social media properly.
Rappers can easily post in places like this recruit fans n'? . -
Yup looking forward to new music from Boosie and the new 50 album
