  1. he forgot about mr roth

  2. RON BROWNZ ………really i respect quest but i mean come on. B.o.b for one charles asher stat even though hes been around joell but ron fucking brownzzzz. and what killed me the most is how semtex forgot to mention detox AND HOW THE FUCK IS JIMMY GUNNA B HOT IF HE COULDNT CAPITILIZE ON BALLLINNNNNNNN i mean that cd was a lay-up for a classic and he fucked that alll up

    Quest takes a big L in my book for those comments gl lucky on fallon though my due

  3. WALE. period

  4. Drake. 2dopeboyz.
    Thats my vote.

  5. WALE good call his remix to his own remix on m.i.a’s boyz was filthy

  6. Kid Cudi baby..

  7. Kid Cudi is gay,

  8. Charles, Cudi, Drake, Wale, Skyzoo hopefully.

  9. Cudi is dope as well but so is blu.. theres too many so ill stick with Drizzy.

  10. i cant find this hsic shit anywhere. whats up with it?

  11. Is it just me or did Quest fuck up the name of H.I.S.D.?

  12. To those lookin’ for what Quest was talking about, I’m about 90% sure he was talking about Hueston Independent Spit District (H.I.S.D.) if anyone is interested.

  13. Blu, Jay Electronica, Drake, Wale, B.o.B, Film Skool Rejekts, T-Morgan, U-N-I….who is this H.S.I.C? and JIM JONES ahead of blueprint 3 or detox? Quest you still my boy but come on…

  14. i still dont get twitter’s appeal

  15. http://www.myspace.com/hisd

    Ive listened to a few songs and am thoroughly unimpressed. If you love Little Brother, you MIGHT like these guys.

  16. Blu dropped 2 really dope albums this year alone… I would say that he had a very good year..

  17. Jay Elec live from New Orleans, and fuck Asher Roth. He can go fill his patent Red Dixie cup up with peach schnapps and step the fuck away from the mic.

  18. > Meka Soul said this on December 9, 2008 at 7:50 pm (edit)>

    holy shit! i have ghost writers!

  19. I have respect for ?Love but he mentioned Ron Browz as the next BIG ARTIST & said JIM JONES WOULD DO BETTER NUMBERS THAN HOV = BLUEPRINT 3, DR. DRE = DETOX, EMINEM AND 50CENT????

    ARE LOONEY TOONS MY NIGGA???

    WHAT DA FUCK?? IS THIS FUCKIN ARMAGEDDON?? THIS NIGGA CRAZY!!
    IF ‘JIM JONES IS GONNA PULL THE SNEAK PUNCH ON EVERYBODY’ THEN NAS WAS RIGHT HIP-HOP IS DEAD!!!!

    AND I LISTEN TO JIMMY OR AS SHAKE WOULD SAY JENNY (LMAO), I CAN TOLERATE HIM 2 A POINT.

    I mean I respect ?Love’s opinion on new artist on the underground side of things and that group out of Texas being that I never heard then b4. However, it is so hard to say which underground artist has that potential because there are sooooo many, including some artist I don’t even like.
    What about Drake, Charles Hamilton, Kid Cudi, XV, JD Era, Wale, Blu, B.o.B, Skyzoo, Cory Gunz, Roth basically the freshmen top 10 and some who deserved to make the freshmen top 10?????? He didn’t mention not one of those artist. Which leads me to believe he’s out of touch w/ the music scene of late.

  20. I’m curious what Meka thinks about what ?Love said?? lmao 4real!!

  21. Charles Hamilton FTW!!!

  22. http://www.rappersiknow.com/2008/12/09/questlove-name-drops-hisd-sort-of/ for all those unknowing or sleeping still

  34. Jimmy Fallon and his wife first met The Roots last Memorial Day Weekend when they performed at the Jazz Reggae Festival @ UCLA. The Roots played an amazing set, and Fallon instantly hit it off with them backstage. They’ve been in touch ever since, and now The Roots are Fallon’s in house band for his late night TV show
