Always forget sherdog has a music forum. Use to be a huge hip hop fan in the past but haven't kept up for probably over 10 years. I can't even remember 10% of artist or songs from back then. I need to slowly go through this entire thread and get inspired again and maybe get reminders of music I use to listen to in the past. I've been to tons of hip hop concerts. Only unfortunate artists that I never got a chance to see was Gangstarr, unless you count Biggie and 2Pac. Was really into the so called 'underground' hip hop genre for a long time. From the hard stuff to the chill jazzy beats.
I know times have changed with the genre continuing to evolve, but I use to say that shit 10-15 years ago. Which means most is garbage, but there are always good artist putting out quality stuff, even the new school.
