1. 18
2. Relatively large, no Philly or NYC tho
3. Student / Deli Associate
4. Other than the music, not at all really.
5. When I think of the underground, I think of the rappers who haven't blown up yet or who have been overlooked. There's so much talent that doesn't reach the radio waves because they don't fit this stereotypical image that's been created by the media.
6. None, I think most of them are the biased opinions of people with agendas. I'll skim through a few, but I'd prefer to form my own opinions.
7. I don't visit any regularly, only when I have the time or am looking for something specific.
8. If I liked what the Table of Contents offered.
9. No, I eat, drink, wear, or whatever anything that appeals to me. I like Pepsi better than Coke, but I like Barq's (Coca-Cola) better than Mug (Pepsi). I love Dr. Pepper (Coca-Cola), but Cherry Pepsi is better than Cherry Coke, whereas Lime Coke is better than Lime Pepsi

[Zero Cool]

1. How old are you?

17.

2. Do you live in a large city?

Yes.

3. What is your occupation? (Student or at school can apply here.)

I currently attend secondary school (High School for all you Yanks out there).

4. How much would you say you 'lived' the hip-hop culture?

Hip-Hop is probably my favourite musical genre. I sometimes speak the lingo but as to "living" the Hip-Hop culture, the answer is not much. Hip-Hop is what I listen to most but it's only a part of what I listen to. I'm in it for the music, not the lifestyle.

5. What comes to your mind when you hear the term 'underground' in refererence to hip-hop?

Harder beats, more graphic subject matter, truer to Rap's roots.

6. Which (if any) music magazines do you read on a regular basis?

The Source, Q and XXL.

7. Other than here and Streethop, which hip-hop websites do you visit regularly?

SOHH.com, AllHipHop.com and Rap News Network.com

8. Would you be likely to purchase a magazine dedicated to the Underground?

Probably not.

9. Are you brand loyal? (I.E. Do you buy the same make of things all the time, for example always Coke and never Pepsi)

Not particularly. If I trust a brand I will purchase it on a regular basis but I'm always willing to try new things.

Ah ein Holländer, keine Angst ik will dik nit dissen, was heisst eigentlich "peypen"? Fuck oder nit? lol, Ik hab Cousins in Enschede, lol,

 

[MATW95]

1. How old are you? 16
2. Do you live in a large city? St. Louis, it sucks because everybody tries to be like Nelly when all they really need to do is hone their skills on the mic and learn to Move the Crowd like Rakim said
3. What is your occupation? (Student or at school can apply here.) Student
4. How much would you say you 'lived' the hip-hop culture? I've been a part of Hip Hop since I was six years old. I started listening to it when a cousin of mine flipped MTV on and there was all this stuff from guys like BIG and Pac. I haven't stopped listening since. And I personally don't think listening is enough, you have to live this stuff. Not by dressing like it, but by simply perpetuating what it truly stood for almost 30 years ago: to have a musical outlet that your parents didn't listen to. Later it became a political voice for inner city youth, but actually had very heavy influences from Punk Rock and New Wave and also influenced both of those categories as well.
5. What comes to your mind when you hear the term 'underground' in refererence to hip-hop? I love the undergound. IMO, it's the purest form of Hip Hop because artists who don't want commercial fame will try anything to make a tyte sound. MF Doom is a prime example of this, because you'll never hear samples from movies in the 40s-60s on any 50 Cent or Game album, only Scarface material. Underground Hip Hop is something that should definetely be more exposed...but that wouldn't be underground huh?
6. Which (if any) music magazines do you read on a regular basis? None, they're mostly all bullshit. I stopped reading them and tried to get back into them this year. I knew I was done forever though when I picked up The Source and saw that Fabolous got 4 mics. The Source is something really fake because it wasn't started by somebody who was DEEPLY rooted in Hip Hop. The guy who started it is a Harvard graduate who just happened to like the way a bunch of colored guys sounded when on a track together.
7. Other than here and Streethop, which hip-hop websites do you visit regularly? www.daveyd.com and www.allhiphop.com Pretty much anything as long as it's unbiased and provides good information along with greatly written articles
8. Would you be likely to purchase a magazine dedicated to the Underground? HELL YEA
9. Are you brand loyal? (I.E. Do you buy the same make of things all the time, for example always Coke and never Pepsi) No

Okay, that's 9 answers...Rep me

1.16
2. Yes Vancouver BC
3. Student
4. Depends on how you describe lived, i havent been shot or stabbed (brick city go oooh oooh oooh ooooh), but i represent hiphop in arguements about music and shit like that, i am a hiphop artist but not really i guess.
5. When I hear underground I think of potentially sick MC's that havent broken into mainstream music yet, artists as local as the MC's down my block to people like Immortal Technique. MC's that havent been recognized.
6. I read XXL on a regular basis, i love that magazine.
7. I dont go to any other hiphop sites.
8. All depends, if i like the artists they are presenting and want to support and shit yeah.
9. No sir, not brand loyal.

hope it helped
