Jeez, I'm scatterbrained. How could I not mention my myspace buddies?

Man, Sage Francis is probably my favorite hip-hop artist. I'm presently writing part of a paper for jazz class about "Threewrite" as a legacy of blues music.
What turns me off to a lot of hip-hop is its self-centeredness. Too many raps are just about inflating egos--the rhymes might be skilled, but when there's no other content to it they wear out quickly. Sage Francis makes me happy in that a lot of his songs get away from that tendency.
Gryff:
Princess Superstar, bitches.
Kind of a lot of ego-rapping with the Princess, but it's done in an ironic way. Not sure about her latest album yet.
…
Man, there are so many names here. I've only been into hip-hop for a year or so, so there're so many things I need to catch up on. When you pretty much ignore an entire genre for so long, the floodgates open up and there's too much to check out!
lastclearchance:
I was very impressed with Jean Grae when she opened on the Breedlove Odyssey Tour.
Gryff:
Hmm, Jean Grae is playing the Big Day Out, along with Edan and Common. Could be a good time for the hip-hop.
