Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

In 1991, Havoc and Prodigy originally went by the name "Poetical Prophets" and began making a demo tape.[11] They would find the addresses of record label headquarters on the back of albums, bring a cassette player, and ask passing artists to listen to their music.[12]The only artist who stopped to hear their music was Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest; Prodigy recalled, "[Q-Tip] introduced us to Chris Lightythat day and a bunch of people in the Rush Associated Labels in the Def Jam office—that's how we met everybody."[12] Shortly after, Prodigy signed a solo demo deal with Jive Records and had an uncredited feature on the song "Too Young" by Hi-Five, which appeared on the Boyz n the Hood soundtrack.[11] Jive decided not to sign Poetical Prophets as a duo, however, they were featured in the Unsigned Hype column of The Source in July 1991,[11][13]which helped promote their demo Flavor for the Nonbelievers.

Bingo. Celine was from an era where there was balance. Whitney, Aretha, Yolanda Adams, Anita Baker, Amel Larrioux, etc. our R&B and soul musicians were getting pushed, promoted and their acclaim.

Nowadays s****. F***** Sam Smith and fat Adele.
