http://www.myspace.com/donnygoinesxxl magazine must be drugged the fuck up and oding when they made the statement "this was a slow year for nyc rap and the city that birthed hip-hop isnt producing ill emcees anymore." you people have been 2 busy just basisng off blog buzz instead of checking out ill emcees, jay electronica, nems, george burnz, j.rose, final outlaw, donny goines all deserved spots on the freshman ten this year, but u saying nyc is dead. How the fuck could you say that when donny goines has had back to back top 5 of the year albums with minutes to midnights and the breakfast club. I know you know who is is you put him on your under the radar column, but yet again you was basing that off his web show instead of his music. Donny goines may have gotten in the rap game late and for the wrong reasons. He first picked up the mic in 2006 after watching jay-z's fade to black and wanting to one day play madison square garden. he prob wouldnt expect to be one of the most promisnt emcees in the game. From album to album his rap style has changed witch most rappers cant pull off sucessfully. Minutes to midnight was a album about the streets he grew on. With the track ghetto usa he sent a vivid and chilling depiction of the streets of new york city, and with tracks like ricckys story he gave a sad tale of a youngin lost. When breakfast club came out he came out into his back packer shell infusing samples of classic movies with rock collaborations and still making in my mind 3rd best album that year. Donny goines is on the border of bieng in everyones i-pods. its a matter of time when the world knows his name
