Sage Francis - Indie Rap Pioneer

Sage Francis is commonly referred to as a forefather and pioneer of the indie-rap movement that swept the world in the late 90's and early 2000's. Sage and his peers have constantly pushed the boundaries, redefining what "Hip Hop" could be every step of the way. andPOP catches up with Sage Francis and finds out the state-of-union and the differences between his world and that of the Top 40.

Anyone who bounds thier art to a specific genre should get rid of the fence and do whatever they want, with or without the fan's thoughts in mind. They make art for themselves, and they give it away for us. It's our little relationship. xD I don't care what genre it is, if I like, then I like it. It should be the same to them too. :) But I always associated Hip Hop to the beat, and rap to how the lyrics are said. you could sing some rap lyrics and it'll be a completely differant genre.
