Generation gaps is what ends up destroying music as we knew it, the pioneers of rap knew what hip-hop was and what it meant..todays kids dont have a fucking clue, 16 year olds were born in what 1994? And by the time they listened to their frist rap record is was what? 10-12 years later, so 2004-2006..by that time hip-hop had already started a tailspin so they didnt know any different, they just followed whatever trend was out instead of listening to the original trendsetters..

I dont have anything against new school shit, but I want it like I want Grey Goose, in small amounts over a decent span, not forced all at once..maybe 1-2 club tracks per album, not 1-2 non-club tracks per album..thats just overkill, but thats what these ignorant kids are buying these days so thats what record labels are puttin out..thats why the newer rappers with an actaul message arent gettin albums done (ie; Obie Trice, Stat Quo, etc)

Very true.

It's all a vicious circle, kids buy the poppy hit tracks, so the Industry realises that's the way to make money, so they'll either sign artists who make poppy hit records or force good people to change style. Isn't that what happened with Obie at Interscope?

Probably, cuz his albums didnt sell..and Nas & Eminem can release what they want cuz they won their companies (well jay-z owns Nas' label, but same thing)..and Eminem could drop an album of bullshit and still sell..

i agree with what everyone had said here.

the only reason Em Nas and Jay sell good is because they cross so well with underground and mainstream.

thats really the only thing that hasnt been said already

I think it pretty much sums your post up. We kill it by supporting crappy ass artists like Wayne, Soulja Boy or bunch of other worthless clowns. I've discovered alot of good artists this winter and they made me believe that below the crappy surface of pop/r'n'b wannabe-artists, there is something still worthy endless hours spent on listening..

You just gotta look for it. And imagine how great it feels when it turns out you discovered something that amazing that it gives you goosebumps when you hit the 'play' button.

Plus, we still got real artists like Nas. 'Distant Relatives' is going to be FIRE, now how can you say hip hop is dead after listening to "Strong Will Continue"?
