...And Ya Don't Stop

As a bit of a music snob, I find it difficult sometimes to keep up with what's going on with new trends, artists and releases. It's not like you can turn on the radio, or even the TV, and hear decent new music anymore. Especially when it comes to hip hop.

Luckily, there are sites like Yes Yes Y'all to keep me informed. With podcasts that cover a number of genres and a music player that allows you to listen to the subject of each post, I can at least pretend to be in the know when one of my hipster friends makes a reference to the new James Pants.

Question...

Why is it possible for me to:

1. Buy a ticket to a J-Live concert for $10?

2. Attend said concert with only about 100 other humans, while if the show were in Denmark, it would sell out?

While the state of Hip Hop in the U.S. may be a bit sad at times, it was alive and well for a select few last night in Orlando. We had the rare chance to witness J-Live rock both the mic and the 1's and 2's, and as always, we weren't disappointed. If you get the chance to see him in concert (or any other underground hip hop acts for that matter) I highly advise you don't miss it. Artists like this are a dying breed.
