What do you think this decades music will say about our times years from now?
Rugged Monk:
^I don't think its mostly a deliberate conspiracy to dumb us down (although it seems more like a combination) , I think humanbeings just naturally gravitates towards that and it cycles between ignorance and enlightenment; in past centuries the masses were told what to think and it was the responsibility of leadership to shepherd the people and enlighten the masses.
Nowadays, as liberalism has emerged the dominant world doctrine, salvation and enlightenment is more than ever an individual undertaking, however there is a catch: ignorance and stupidity is the default option.
These last couple of years this new millenium, I got more faith in hip-hop than ever, regardless of record sales and money, I think hip-hop is the strongest its been in a long while because underground artists haven't ever stopped doin their thing, they keep bangin out good music! Hip-hop has just gone back underground: secret society steeeeez and thats the way I likes it.

You're not honestly gonna tell me that all the record giants are in cahoots with the government and are using idiotic music as a ploy to blind us are you? And that they then in turn tell the artists to make music a certain way..

no man.. I wasn't saying that at all... I don't know how you got that idea... I guess it's possible... but really I was just saying that music is a reflection of the times, and that America is going through hard times right now and so they just want a few minutes of distraction from whatever they are going through, so the music being produced these days doesn't provide much overall well-being or meaning in people's life's, but just serves to distract them temporarily.

Mr. O:
the only thing I see in 00's is death of music or birth of some sort of devil music...

Last year Priest had The Offering and Muggs had Legend of the Mask and Assassin....(if you aint peeped those then run out and cop). I love the fact that I live in Australia and we are not over-saturated with gangbanger and wigger culture (you can be a wigger too if you black), dumb fucks hanging out 24/7 infront of 7/11s with ridiculously oversized FUBU shits and shirts like curtains.... I can only imagine... I cringe at alot of the bullshit that comes out of the US...Instead we just pluck the jewels from the dirt, filter the real from the fake and say 'thank-you, you can keep all the rest of that'.
All the dope artists working together more and more, thats what im loving, you seeing Ill Bill with Immortal Tech, tech with Killah Priest, Priest with Muggs, Muggs with GZA, Muggs with Bill...and so on and so on so much goodness i cant word it all. The y2ks is being the ILLLEST era in hip-hop, fools are just ASLEEEP!
And THAT is very representative of our times: the great unwashed goyamic masses remain ignorant and blinded from the lies and illusions spewed forth by the dancing whores of Babylon while those beneath the surface remain very much awake with eyes like a young Ezekiel....
Hip-hop is alive as ever, its just esoteric, in every sense of the word. Theres so much dope hip-hop you just gotta search for it yourself or else you will never get it like a freemasonry initiation.
My older brothers were into hip-hop in the late 80s and 90s and we always argue -they keep saying 'hip-hop is dead' and 'kids these days don't have no movements anymore', 'Pac and Big was when it was the real era', 'blah, blah blah'. Man...people only say that because they are not up on that real hip-hop and have lost sight and fallen behind ('to be Hip is to be update and relevant' -KRS-One) These days hip-hop is way more sure of itself and refined in terms of what it stands for, back then I don't think hip-hop had that, its was thug shit above anything else, political and nourishing only secondly. Nowadays, I think the balance is more healthy, but it flucuates like a person's happiness, hip-hop is living like Islam or Christianity is said to be a living religion. Of course im disregarding the mainstream industry, but hip-hop has never cared or been defined by what the mainstream industry does so why would we be doing that now?
oh yeah right now im also loving and listening to some tracks off J Live's Then What Happened Album and Erykah Badu's new 4th world war album, im getsssss off over that spiritual hip-hop.
Peace
ps your pm dosnt work i suspects a zionist-murdoch-HAARP conspiracy...
