Happy Hip-Hop

Rappers and Hip-Hop artists are a dime a dozen, and for that we should be grateful because amongst the "yeah bitch you sure gon git it when I make that cash, blah, blah" crap there's many a gem. Who, six months ago, would predict how fast people like Theophilus London, Kid Cudi, and Drake would rise to be best sellers? They're the new kids on the block but they're becoming mainstream as hell real fast, and by that I simply mean that they're getting massive exposure. However for every guy that makes it, which these guys have through pure skill, there's got to be 1000 'lil', 'big', or 'young' (insert other name) artists going on about about the rides they dont have, champagne they dont appreciate, and chicks they could never get unless they scored a recording deal.

Gilbere Forte is just appearing on the radar, in that he's getting enough exposure for someone in Australia to hear about a dude from Philadelphia. He mixes, sings, and produces, which is in an admirable thing in todays music world. His mixtape 87 Dream is awesome from what I've heard off it, and like the first time I heard London's This Charming Mixtape, there should be an exciting release from him in the near future.
