    Been here since early 98, so I guess I'm a "3rd generation" alt.rapper, but I did make like 4 posts in like March 97 under a different online service when I first used the internet... it was a few posts about mariah carrey or something like that.

    Instead of the fact that I惴 not reading very long in this group, I惴 sure that one member of alt.rap will either win or come to the final round... I don愒 think that all the other rappers are as dope as the ones in here... But I bet that everyone of the alt.rappers will come very far in this battle. And I think one alt.rapper will support another alt.rapper, even if he doens愒 like him, right?
