Yeah there's decent stuff, you just gotta look deeper than what is played on the radio, cause all that stuff is garbage. The Mike Jones album actually has some pretty good beats, granted the lyrics aren't the greatest. Also the new Kanye CD is real HOT, it's just chill to listen to. Also the new Akon CD is good. If you want some underground type stuff look up Chamillionare his song "turn it up", also look at stuff by Young Jeezy. But yeah I agree there is some crappy stuff out there, the new Tony Yayo is shiat(and I don't mean that in a good way). 50's new album isn't bad, not as good as the first but still has some good beats.
