Recommendations

Scouting talent is hard. RapIndie is a great example of the talent in hip hop, but it isn't a complete encyclopedia of hip hop. We would like to humbly ask for help finding your favorite artists from social media or emails; RapIndie is a taste of what's out there but it's nearly impossible to cover artists that are not relatively known and therefore it's not everything that's out there.

Flaky

Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival is right around the corner. "Don't Tap The Glass" and "Chromakopia" have been big successes. Tyler, The Creator has been a sanctioned "plus one" of indie culture for so long, that he can gather audiences looking for convenience. While that is good for him, his audience can be flaky. When his audience is flaky, he returns the flaky sentiment.

The social-mechanical limitations of his cultural mixes are a source of pride for some people. I would like to challenge him to implement his golf(everybody wins) message into his relationships a little better.
