Quotevamosarapiar ^^ He's already there IMO (and commercially he just debuted at #2 so I"m not sure where else he can go). What are you listening to by him? The latest album is good IMO, every third track is weak (yup I cracked the formula haha). People have been catching up to him but don't go back and listen to his earlier work (starting at Section 80 isn't putting muby hiphopchiq1 - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
@vamosarapiar I totally agree with what you said about the segments (I addressed it in my review of the hip hop awards in the vent thread) ...however Cassidy stood out because he was/is used to battle rhyming while he may not be as good as he once was ,he seems to have not lost his skill set. Meek is not a battle rapper and he definitely would get eaten alive ,I think that's why he mentioneby hiphopchiq1 - Crate Digging: Hip Hop

Because I'm from a Caribbean neighborhood,I also have a profound love for soca/calypso,and reggae ..I had no choice. Also I mentioned ,my love of salsa ,but I also enjoy Bachata and some merengue...a lot of the newer Spanish music is like fusions of different music .Bachata is sounding more and more like r&b everyday. I also love the greats like The Eagles,Bowie,Billy Joel ...this stuffby hiphopchiq1 - General Discussion
Interesting...where do I begin? Lived as one of three American families in a vastly Caribbean apt building and neighborhood. First baby sitters were ,Dominican-Haitian ,and Puerto Rican. My parents love Latin music.,so Tito ,Celia,hector lavoe etc were always playing. my dad in his day could salsa his ass off. My dad is a ridiculous Jazz fan so I was introduced to the greats (Mingus,Coltrane,Hiby hiphopchiq1 - General Discussion

Oh and to update..Meek said he doesn't battle ,he would have to get paid to do something like that... and he said he was referring to Murda Mook whom he would love to see battle Cass...by hiphopchiq1 - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Um I thought I told y'all to check out Cassidy in that BET cypher,even though the cypher segment itself is not authentic,he has definitely sharpened up his skills. My fav right now is Murda Mook and I would personally love to see him destroy Meek...y'all know I'm not the biggest fan of his..by hiphopchiq1 - Crate Digging: Hip Hop

First of all I like to send my prayers to anyone affected by this natural disaster...it has not been easy for most,loss of power,the struggle for gas,people siphoning gas from others by drilling holes into their tanks,no heat,not to mention the fact that a lot of people lost everything thing they own...I have been out of work since Tuesday...

Take On Me-Aha Pop Musik-M Tainted Love -Soft Cell Drive you home-The Cars Gypsy-Fleetwood Mac I listen to these and many more on a daily basis.

Still furious but Im no quitter.. The BET hip hop awards was more like a concert with some comedic interludes and about maybe two awards actually given out.
