I grew up on yo mtv raps and bet's rap city when it was joe clair and big lez. Now...I can't stand the radio. I have to go and buy old school music to keep me afloat...

I am definitely with you on this one Diva! I'm talking Eric B and Rakim...Heavy D w/ Trouble T-Roy! .....Ahhhh the memories...
Hip Hop has been dead for a while. However, I think things will get worse before they get better. These rappers will stay in the game as long as it's keeping their pocket's fat. If they can go platinum with songs that have hooks like "She's a Ho" ... or making songs about Air Force Ones....they're gonna do it. Sad but true.
If the consumers stopped supporting this crap....they'd switch their style.....but today...if you can call women out of their name, glorify drugs, women, clothes, sex, and jewelry.....YOUR ALBUM IS GOING PLATINUM!!!
