padrino- props for hot hot heat. good band
anyone notice that the south is finally getting recognized in the hip hop industry? it seem Houston, Atlanta and Louisiana in particular are really blowing up, though there has always been an underground market and following of southern rap. Mike Jones, Paul Wall, Slim Thug and others seem to be profiting from this. being from Texas its good to see that it is being released and followed at a higher level, though I enjoy all kinds of hip hop and rap in general.

linzeesan- it is true to a certain extent and not really to another. Mike Jones does have an audience in Houston, I know this because I have seen a show he did there few months back, but there is also another group of people who do not like him for whatever reason.. I know his well-known beef with the chamillionaire (chamillion) has caused some fans to side with one over the other, many choosing the rawer, grittier chamillion over the now more commercial Mike Jones. The mixed tape massiah answers alot of questions people got to call Mike Jones out , you should listen to it.There are really some brutal things said about him on it. I really believe some feel he is selling out by becoming something of a household name and despise him for that. Can’t really blame the man for capitalizing on opportunities though. There is definetely some southern rap wars starting to develop out here. By the way, love your avatar.

right now im really feelin the bravery, got the cd a while back and really enjoy it. An honest mistake is cool. Also surprisingly like the catchy new cake song 'the guitar man' . 'little sister' by the queens of the stone age and though its been out for quite a while hot fuss by the killers (especially mr brightside) are some of my favorites. the gorillaz new outing is creative and interesting as well, as was their last.
Thanks for answering me. I think I will listen to some mix tapes now. I'm not really a fan of Lil' Flip's but I'm really feeling Paul Wall and MIke Jones. I don't know why people get upset about a rapper getting national recognition and going "commercial." I think what they're really upset about is the rapper being succesful while others are not. As long as Mike Jones doesn't forget where he comes from and stays humble then he'll be alright. BTW, I love my avatar too.
