Where do rap fans or upcoming rap supastars hang out?

Oh man. . . your first assignment?

xzibit.


On the good side, I got a copy of his new cd to distribute to stores to play it, and I ripped it.

I like good rap (old school, like RUN DMC, Cypress Hill, Jurassic 5).

But the gangster rappers seem to reside at the mall where I live, and walking by Safeway and 7-11. Lots of wannabe rap superstars, who try to live large, big house, 5 cars, and in charge, in my area though. So it might not be the best representation of where the rap scene is.

Jay and Silent Bob come to mind. . .

I knew a kid who was Jay exactly. When I first saw Clerks I nearly flipped!

I'm with Phil on the old school rap (and hip hop). It's all self-congradulatory, derivitaive, and takes it self way too seriously now. Now Eminem sucks, too.

Anyone remember RBL Posse?

May I refer you to the definitive source on the subject: 8Mile starring the classically trained actors Eminem and Brittany Murphy. Additionally the film shows the best work of an actress known as Kim Basinger.

I liked 8 Mile mostly because I went to school in Detroit and recognized everything in it. My ex went to Marygrove which is on 6 Mile - a worse street than 8 mile, but I was near downtown (Detroit Institute of Arts, Library, and the African American Museum which was always a ghost town).

So far i've got car audio places on my list, video rental places(rappers need videos too, right?), starbucks, perhaps a helly hansen store if i can find one, zumiez, record stores as well. 7-11 sounds like a good idea, maybe pizza places?

clubs, 40/40 and various strip clubs come to mind too

i like new rap because the beats mostly but old rap was ababaccdcdcd rap. now the flow is more inovative. unless your jkwon where you rap pattern is aaaaaaaaaaaaa bbbbbbbbbbb aaaaaaaaaaaaa ddddddddddd aaaaaaaaaa ccccccccc. so freakin anoying.

lol
ok, strip clubs sound like an excellent idea, I'll have to talk to my project manage about that

HH and Zumiez at Alderwood. . .

Strip clubs? I highly doubt they'd want someone distributing information that's anything but for their establishment. Wouldn't hurt to ask, though.

The oldschool i like is Biggy and Pac. But you will find a lot of rap fans in Highschools and at some hip hop clubs.

Only for gin.

lol... These are supposed to be "it" spots, not ghetto places that people dont want to be seen at

Lol, so a strip club is an "it" spot, but a liquor store isn't?

i was talking about wal mart

Speaking of old school, I saw Flavor Flav live last weekend in a local bar in Breckenridge.

It was cool
