I nearly cheered when you mentioned Def Poetry and open mic (but Lithus is asleep and I would've woken him thinking I was being murdered in the next room, so I didn't ~ but I almost did) because that is where I have found *true* hip hop again. Because you're right; it lost its way. So terribly badly. In these back rooms and small spaces and single spotlight stages, it's finding its way again, and it's lovely.
Would highly recommend the album R.A.P Music by Killer Mike. One of my favourites from the last year. The title track is sublime - if you get a chance, try that and 'Reagan'.
