^^ Welcome aboard homie . Maybe if you don't mind , you could put us up on some hip hop from your side of the world . The hip hop section on the forum has been a little slow lately , and admittedly , hip hop has taken a back seat in my collection lately . We need to bring this section back to life .
This morning , I got some UTD in the headphones .

That's a catch 22 we are dealing with. We have tons of traffic of daily lurkers coming in here expecting all kinds of daily content, banter, and updates, but if no one is talking obviously there won't be anything new to read. So they see the crickets and outta here.
Me and Uptown and Jaybrown used to keep this section hot, but it can't just be 3 people non stop, it needs to be everyone reading getting off their asses and drop a word or two.
Something like "I like this Hip Hop song right now." (fill in the blank)
^Takes about 3 seconds and sparks conversation.
We appreciate all input from all people, so as Jaybrown stated, we appreciate you joining and hope you can keep on contributing when you get time.
I personally need to get back on regular posting so I'm speaking to directly myself as well.
TLDR: Welcome aboard, you have a cool site BTW, and I hope you keep on dropping knowledge.
BTW: I'm a huge fan of the old school myself, but I'd add there's plenty of brand new stuff out there that is worth talking about as well. My favorite year will always be 1993, but 2016 has joints just like every other year.
My philosophy on Hip Hop is it's a young man's sport and the youth are always the leaders of the new school whether us old schoolers like it or not. They bring the fresh stuff, it has to be that way to keep it real, and that's the same as it ever was.
(Looks at the time) I had enough beer for that short rant and I'll try not to let it happen again.

^^word !!
This morning ..
D.I.T.C. - The Remix Project 2 lp . First off , many thanks to Rchecka for hooking me up with this a while back . I gotta say that most of the time when I'm familiar with the original tracks , I tend to shy away from remixes , unless the beats are on point . That is definitely the case with this album . This is my 3rd listen and I can't find a track I dislike .
@ Thehiphoprecords , thanks for dropping the videos . Now for the questions from the ignorant American. Are those cats considered mainstream or is that what the underground dudes sound like over there ? I'm curious as to what the difference in the sound between your underground and mainstream . In my opinion , over here , mainstream hip hop tends to move away from the boom bap beats and strong lyricism . I like the second video you posted the best . It's tough to sound hard on a track that references chess throughout , but they managed to do it .
