[Master Zik]

Wale - C- (His buzz isn't as big as it use to be, same for his music and seems it never will reach that level again. The stalling of Back 2 The Featureisn't helping either).
B.o.B - W (Heard some of one of his mixtapes and then hit delete).
Charles Hamilton - C+ (Aint shh changed for dude, music hasn't vastly improved and the flooding of music is gonna have to stop but he's managed to keephis name out there whether it's for better or worse. The problems I'm hearing about his album denials don't sound good either).
Asher Roth - C- (Dude's album was solid, before that I thought he was complete trash based off mixtapes).
Cory Gunz - W (I think dude is great and all that but he aint done shhh this year except for the random tracks I see on HHG)
Blu - A- (Need another album soon, underground or not. Soul Amazing Pt. 2 & Her Favorite Color Is Blu(e) were very dope mixtapes, plus he got his dealinked).
Mickey Factz- D (Maybe I been missing out but I haven't heard shhh from dude since. I'm disappointed since I think he's one of the best on thislist).
Ace Hood- F (This @#@$# garbage and always been garbage).
Curren$y- W (Meh, I'm not a big fan. I got one of his mixtapes it's good, didn't make me want to hear more though. Props to him for leaving thatdeath trap that is YM though. He can change my mind when I see what he does on the mixtape with Wiz Khalifa).
Kid Cudi- D- (I think he's trash but I'll admit he's found himself on a couple good songs and hasn't completely ruined it, more forgettablethan anything. Hoped somebody else more skilled/talented was in his situation though).

*If W grades are not acceptable then I failed them

Sugar Tongue Slim, Bobby Creekwater, Drake, Tanya Morgan, Wiz Khalifa etc. are doing way better than a lot of the failing +@#+%$ so far.

[guillermo gutierez]

i actuallly think C. Hamilton is aiight. i dont have any of his music, but i have before and it was aight.

i dont care about his whackness as a human, cuz i cant see any of that when i listen to music.

well actually i just like the beats doesnt matter who's they are
