www.endoftheweak.ning.com

i found it hard to belive when nas said hip-hop was dead i found it even harder to believe that xxl said that nyc no longer a hotbed for ill lyricist, have they not heard not only does new york city have the largest and longest running open mic in the world it also spawned off other locations across the globe. Its not like end of the weak hasnt been in popular media either since b.e.t did a whole segment on iron solomon and webbified 2 of the most known artist to get there name out though this legendary weekly outing located on 101 and pyrimid avenue a in nyc. Its sad that even hip-hop publicications has forgotten how hip-hop was started, block partys, cyphers, battles and open mics.Yea there hasnt been a mainstream success since 50 sent out of nyc but when you think about it when were the legends like rakim, krs-one, kool g rap and even nas before the jay-z beef have mainstream exceptance. Where so overshadowed by ringtone rappers and autotune to even check out the local open mic for todays hottest talent. Since its incarceration in 2000 end of the weak has helped garner buzz for nycs nicest lyricist in the city where everyone wants to be a rapper. twelve years later the end of the weak movement has spread over 4 continents, nine countries and 22 cities across the world showing true lyricism still gets you places.
