nah, sonu ever heard of bicycle-helmet rap, William?
^ur mothers twat is a waste of space
The consumer is to blame.If people aren't buying music anymore then some artists may feel the need to switch their style to be in tune with what is popular and selling now. Then you can argue that a particular coast or style/genre of music has 'fallen off' because it's not in fitting with what you consider to be good music.Also, people are a lot more fickle these days with their choices, and there are a lot more choices now. There will never be a time again when a particular coast is dominant in hip-hop because times have changed and the music industry doesn't work like that anymore.

True, but 'respected' artists have fans that always spend $$$ on their stuff (Bob Dylan, Radiohead, Prince, Pink Floyd, New Order, Quincy Jones etc etc, not to mention scores of idie artists coming though and enjoying the benifits of more 'pop culture' consumer trends buying music from itunes) If rap had a bit of artistic and music credibility there would be more people drawn to it, and supporting albums with their cash.

Bob Dylan and Pink Floyd-fans still buy cd's.
