Rap is dying bcuz it is very uncreative nowadays. It's had a very nice run the past 20 years , but , the south has taken over and they are cheapening and watering down the artform with that bubblegum garbage they put out. It has lost its luster bigtime.

Fuck that, did you listen to G-Unit's last album? The material on that album was generic as fuck... No substance. NY HipHop to me is SUBSTANCE. The Real NY HipHop artists know how to keep it real.ANYWAYS, SINGLE IN 2 MONTHS?!?! He says that every interview, but let's hope!!

Heapsa classic NYC albums lack any real substance, Biggie, Wu Tang, Big L, all on the same sorta shit, doesnt take away from the music though. New York rap is grimey battle rap, not concious substance bullshit.

Gangstarr, Tribe, De La Soul, the list goes on and on.

Because shit would be boring. The point is there's a legitimate place for each style to exist and thrive. 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, and Tony Yayo came into the game as gangsta rappers and have stuck with the image - whether you agree with it or not. They work it well and have brought consistent material. Is it mind blowing word play? No. Is it hot beats, good vocals (exception yayo), and decent lyrics - yes. Terminate on Sight subject material was only supposed to range from hype music, women/club tracks, money and beef tracks. They did it rather well. It's not supposed to be introspective, reflective music.

If you give me an album with all hype music, women/club tracks, money and beef tracks; I will not call this a real NY rap album. The album didn't have one real cut. Even with the all the way gangsta NY rappers like Jadakiss and Biggie, etc. They always found a way to incorporate pain and emotion into their songs. (Well some of them). With the last G-Unit album, there was nothing...

With the last G-Unit album, there was nothing...I just think this is G-Unit's style. They're not trying to be on some Hate It or Love It joint track. I understand your issue with G-Unit's releases but I think your mistake is expecting that from them when they don't attempt to be that - at least not as a group or on official releases. As single artists, both 50 cent and Lloyd Banks have shown different character dimensions. Personally, I think 50 cent wrote the concept to Hate It or Love It (clearly he didn't write Game's part but he created the concept and wrote his lyrics before Game did) and on recent Lloyd Banks tracks he's been more introspective than usual - Shine Thru is a perfect example.

Who wants to hear depressing "real" tracks all the time, who wants to hear crunk/hyphy tracks all the time, who wants to hear gangsta music all the time, who wants to hear "introspective" tracks all the time, who wants to hear drug money music all the time, who wants to listen to rnb hop all the time, who wants to hear rock hop all the time, who wants to hear retro hip hop all the time, who wants to hear evil hip hop all the time, who wants to hear black power tracks all the time, who wants to hear "i'm gettin fucked up" tracks all the time, and so on. Broaden your horizons when it comes to music and stop complainin and talkin about nothin new out there is good. The balance in hip hop is there and it never wasn't (besides on TV/Radio). Just bcuz 9th Wonder dont get as much shine as Bow Wow do now doesn't mean there's no balance. Put on some Oldies Soul or some new RnB if you want to switch up, hell check out myspace if u want that Raw. I understand wat Ra was talkin about. If you dont buy an MPC, some turntables, a gang of rare/unpopular/unknown vinyl records, pro tools basic and a microphone(s) to record the samples with and then you'll have that sound he was talking about.
