    3. ok half the people on this list ive never hear of in my life. i doubt anybody on this website be rockin out to some DoltAll or some good ol fashioned YahZarah. really? are you just making some of these names up? i mean just thought id point that out so next time you dont have to type as much

      1. half? then u must be lackin knowledge bro…….

        i dont no maybe 5-10 of these…probably them wack wannabe hard gimmik cats

      1. dont forget ur daily dose of niki minaj with that drake…u lil faggot. not surprised a joelortiz fan likes drake hahahahahah

        camron’s un album, and guilty simpsons album with madlib are the must haves

        dont forget 8ball&mjg, cypress hill, b.o.b. and nas album too

      2. i didnt see the guilty simpson album. and i mentioned the nas album. nikki minaj sucks. the drake album is gonna be great. have you listened to so far gone? and the camron album, a must have? hell no.

      3. the drake album is gonna be wack, you even hear his new stuff especially after he signed with young money? hes dumbed down! he caters to the bitches anyways, hes the new pop shit thats popping off (2 years ago, it was souljah boy!). i don’t seen any guy who proudly mentioned they’re a fan of him, they embarrassed if they fans.

        i dont expect shit from joel ortiz, dudes way past due, his new premo joint was nice but just like royce da 5’9(besides that dinnertime track), i bet that premo tracks the best track on his album anyways.

        at least all of cams stuff bangs, especially while ridin, some of his stuff is hilarious to listen to. u dont like 8ball&mjg(south legends), or cypress hill? b.o.b. is the better mainstream cat comin out, rather him than drake.and reflection eternal(talib kweli+hi-tek) and mf grimm comin as well as new common,kurupt, and doggpound! and u rather have drake? u wack dawg

      1. so u like him cuz kobe likes him? theres athletes that like nickleback and fall out boys, u listen to him cuz they like him too? u like lil wayne cuz all the ppl down south likes him too?

        oh boy! i been listening to hiphop since the start of 90’s golden era(so about 20 years of listening?), wen nas and wu tang blew up, im pretty sure i know more bout hiphop than kobe does. plus ppl like kobe and lebron just support the biggest mainstream hype cuz its their duty to and its to their advantage, they get $$ and support too in exchange for supporting drake.

    7. ICP, KMK, BLESTENATION, BLAZE, COGNITO, DWELE, DRAKE, JOELL ORTIZ, GUILTY SIMPSON APOLLO BROWN, FINALE, BIZARRE, BOONDOX, BOOB N CYPRESS HILL. ITS GONNA BE A HOT SUMMER

    8. This si why HIPHOPdx is so gay nowadays.. they are only intereed in the new cats in the game.. I.E> drake.. crooked I.. and other shitty rappers who have monotone voices and who will reach out to gay sites like hiphopdx because they know that most people that buy cds wont buy their cd so they need to reach out to the bloggers and pretend to respect them when really they just want the measly ten dollars that the bloggers wont even spend anyways..

      After saying that.. WHY DIDNT THEY POST THE RELEASE DATE for BIG BOI?????!! This website is guilty of age discrimination or hating on rappers that can still sell because they arent feeling that styyle anymore.. Quit trying to have that “new shit” before anyone else and just have that good shit..(like Big Boi.. not drake and crooked i and other microphone controllers who only spit about one thing and its the same thing they have said since the beginning of their horribly mediocre careers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

    9. Wowwwwwwwwwww!!!Recently, I came across a hot dating and friends club.

      –**Black military friends .c 0 m**–

      There are many sassy ladies and handsome military guys seeking fun, friendship, love ,marriage and even more!!!!! Maybe you wanna check out or tell your friends.
