I think we've run into each other a couple times on the III board (I'm JakeLegBlues). I do dig Buck 65, and some other country/hip hop stuff like B-Star, but I wanted to address the more commercial aspects of the country hip-hop genres, if only so we could use that Lil Jon/ Big & Rich photo, which alternately amuses and horrifies me every time I look at it ;-) Plus, I don't know enough about noncommercial hip-hop to really make an informed comparison between it and the alt-country side of things.
