Cane Murphy Boldly takes on XXL Magazine with "Talent" to address XXL Magazine's claim that Staten Island aka. Shaolin Produced the Least HipHop talent. Cane Murphy aka. Redrum Recorded a Diss Record titled "Talent" (XXL DISS) to show XXL a display of what he Feels HipHop talent Really is. After being mailed a copy of the magazine by one of xxl's editors, with "whats wrong with NY HipHop?" on the cover, Cane questioned what XXL considered Hiphop talent, when their articles didn't acknowledge the few artists representing for their individual boroughs of N.Y for years. Ironically , Cane invested thousands of dollars of his own money to promote his Story as an Rapper in XXL Magazine in 2010 after performing over 200 times, being featured on mixtapes, touring the United States and being one of the few artists from Staten island to make a name for himself in the Underground of New York. "I feel they're acknowledging "Hip-Pop" Entertainers as Hiphop Talent. But aren't acknowledging Hiphop talent as entertaining and just as marketable to the Main Stream. "Take away the beautiful girls, ensamble of musicians and dancers and a good rapper will keep the audience's attention. Try taking those things away from some entertainers, and see if the crowd is still entertained... To me, the definition of HipHop Talent is - 'taking a natural ability to Rhyme, and perfecting your craft through hard work and preserverance' -Cane Murphy Less
