Most "mixtape" rappers bore me and few make it big. Punchlines become less humorous over repeated listenings and the general public doesn't want to think that hard to catch the funny parts on a track.
Yeah, Fab made it but there's so many more who don't make the jump to the big leagues. Hell, half the cats don't even get inside the stadium. Team Arliss, Red Cafe, Sauce Money, Imam Thug, or Graph anyone?
This kid Saigon, I hope he makes it. Dude has a good mix of vocabulary, street experience and thought provoking lyrics. He's done time and paid his debt to society and right now it looks like he's taking out years of pain on the mic.
