Hip-hop has certainly changed now that regular guys with normal childhoods can aspire to rap stardom. Like Dom Kennedy: after taking a few courses in business management at a community college, he decided to drop out and try his luck at the Game. Since 2008, he's produced an impressive five mixtapes. From Westside with Love, his fourth, got tons of praise from critics and big-name rappers alike. While there's nothing new there, Kennedy has a talent for making high quality, laid-back hip-hop jams about ladies and partying, giving it just a dash of sophistication, and always coming off like the coolest guy in the room. - Aaron Carnes sanjose.com
