Soulstrut realness level aside, I got really put off by indie rap in general a few years back when going through some negative local experience realization shit and I just never really got back into it. I've always liked several different veins of lots of different kinds of music, but I currently enjoy more commercial music in the world of rap. However, I have been into bay area stuff forever, indie, commercial, gangster/hustler, etc, as well as commercial rap from other regions. I grew up around DJ's so I try not to hate on any music, I guess you just kinda grow out of certain shit. I was pretty into west coast indie stuff, I even had some Blowed guys (Mikah 9, Riddlore, Xololanxinxo, Omid, 2mex and others) in my studio at home before, and those were all cool and fun experiences. The same music just doesn't do it for me anymore. I'm not ashamed of any of that stuff though. I know you're somewhat joking, but I know how it is around here. You can get clowned for liking just about anything.
