    I think right now . . . Houston is too much trying to IMMITATE and not INNOVATE
    They either RELYING on the DJ SCREW sounds too much
    or trying to sound like everyone else

    HipHop in generic. Uniqueness is not being hyped
    and Lyrics are secondary . . . if they matter at all

    Also - The 'hiphop' generation has done a piss poor job of preserving it
    We need 'mature' hiphop as much as the kids have their hiphop
    there is room for both

    I still jam their albums to this day, classics, all of them.

    You've moved from Houston 'multiple times' because of the music scene... Really?

    Where can we sample it?

    Except for Bun-B...For whatever reason, once our rappers hit the national scene, they either sell-out or fall on their faces:

    Whatever happened to Chamillionaire? Dude made music that everyone could relate to. Not music that just inner city crack/coke dealers, gangsters, and convicts could identify with.

    Paul Wall was a better rapper in his early days, now his raps revolve around grills....

    Lil Flip was one of best freestyle rappers, who just couldn't take the next step to national stardom....

    Slim Thugg wont ever be big outside of Texas.
