These days, on hip hop I am listening to Kanya West. He seem real original and good. Other hip hop group/person I like is: The Streets. I even went to see him when he came to Boston few years back. He has very thick British/Cockney accent and sings rap. Sounds different and new... Basically, most of us seem to prefer underground non-comercial music. I don't like artist like 50cents or Usher... they seem too polished and too well produced....Well, that is my personal feeling. Check out this website: www.pitchforkmedia.com It reviews new non-comercial bands/music. I get all my music infos from this site... Cheers
