Hip Hop Today.

.....im sitting here with E.O.P. and Majha of THE FAKULTE while they work with The Ill Genius on a track off his up and coming album taking in all that is going on around me. In the mean time im reading XXL's interview with Dr. DRE. While reading this article they asked Dre. a very good question. ( How do you feel about the overall direction of hip hop over the past 10 years or so?) Dre's answer struck me as very real. For one of the top pioneers in music he would know exactly where music is today.  

Dre Answer 

" I think its definitely big right now. But Its definitely not as good to me right now. I would say that there are a few artists that i think have quality but for the must part, Its just a lot of watered down shit that we,ve been listening to over the last i dont know how many years. I do think there is a possibility for it to ge back to where it was, If people start paying attention to just,like, the essence of hip hop and where it can go and what it can be. It's just a little too happy for my taste, a little to bubblegumish and shit." 

WoW now thats one hell of an answer and I think a lot of people who truly love and know music do agree. I wanted to share this because it represents what THE FAKULTE is trying to do.... Bring back the essence of hip hop and where it can go. Not only limiting themselves to the hip hop world but understand imprtotance the of the hip hop history and hip hop culture. Damn I wish I knew Dr. Dre. I think he would Love THE FAKULTE....... One day they will be there......Im happy im here along the way.
