Reggie and Ramon are the kind of friends who fight all the time. They met in a fight, and when they're not blogging, they can usually be found typing an assortment of tirades in a kind of modern warfare waged via text messaging and Facebook. Here, ATG presents a virtually unedited back and forth on a pressing issue of the day.
Reggie: I got into an argument with a friend recently who claimed that because Jada, Busta, Meth and Red, Cam'ron, Jay-Z, Eminem, and 50 Cent were all planning on dropping albums this year, younger artists like Drake and The Cool Kids were going to have to "take a back seat."
That can't be right though, can it? Granted, those guys are established figures in terms of claiming shelf space at Wal-Mart, but is that really where hip-hop's at these days? I mean I'm infinitely more excited to hear Wale's Attention Deficit (which probably won't sell much) than I am to listen to a bunch of dudes pushing 40 trying to relive their glory days.
