The only thing I would change is mentioning Carnage as more than just part of Ill Chemistry since he's done sooo much outside of that, collabs with others, solo work, projects with non hip hop groups, etc. ok, now I'm going to go check out the few acts I've never heard of, thanks!

First off, great list and categories of the Twin Cities Hip-Hop scene. I enjoyed reading this post. I thought to myself while reading, "I know 85% of these artists mentioned". That goes to show the tight knitted community here in TC.

Second thing, thank you for mentioning my name!

Even as someone who doesn't go out and see a lot of shows, I thought Slug's "oversaturated" thing was narrow-sighted. If a big-name painter was all, "The painting scene is oversaturated, all of these galleries are showing work I think is mediocre, and these posers should Give Up And Stop Painting, and leave it to the pros." I'd think that big-name painter doesn't understand either a) the audiences that are going to these galleries and causing demand for the artists being shown there, or b) the intent of the galleries as part of communities, and trying to show more than just one kind of painting. There was a HUGE outcry about the Guthrie posting a season that was going to have almost no female directors and absolutely no work by female playwrights. Dowling claimed that he just chose a season portraying the strongest work, and that it had nothing to do with women vs. men. The community didn't buy the suggestion that there weren't enough talented women in the industry, and insisted that it is the curator's job to reflect the diverse community, and by doing that create a community that incubates diverse work. The same thing is true for hiphop, or poetry, or dance, or any other art, I think. If everyone in the twin cities was rapping to themselves as they went to work or did the dishes, is that really hurting or helping the community appreciate hiphop?

Thank you thank you thank you!!!

<3 - Ya "gotta have balls" to be willing to be yourself, LOL. Courage to be yourself, especially outside cultural norms, is to be applauded. I applaud this! I wish more people both male and female, trans, etc could accept themselves as they are, and that their families could accept them as well.
