To be perfectly honest I actually cannot hide my disappointment anymore. My disappointment in KTT as a once great place for music and especially hip-hop related discussions. I made a thread aiming to potentially point out the originator of this revolutionaly branch of music that resonated, all in record time, with the whole world. From Atlanta's crime ridden gritty poor yet unprecedentally full of wisdom and
insight streets to kids in China. As you all can notice, 2 pages in, we can only read the same pre-baked jokes. Even the few authentic opinions we have are all poorly if ever defended and lack any hint of profoundness to them.
