Here's why:1. Too many guests2. Uncreative choruses3. Nobody is experimenting (likely because they will get dropped by their label)Everyone, at least in commercial rap, is using the same damn formula to sell a record. On the westcoast, you just get NAte Dogg to sing the hook and get Dre (or a soundalike) to do the beat, and you gotta single. Don't get me wrong, i love Dre and Nate, but it is overkill right now. Everywhere else, The Neptunes come through (they are now branching to the westcoast)...CHORUSES on songs are so shitty nowadays, no creativity. Every westcoast album has Kokane, Butch Cassidy, and Nate doing choruses (recently, Shade Sheist and WC are using this formula). I like all 3 of those singers, but i don't even care when they are featured on songs anymore cuz i heard them on last weeks new single...I mean, Nate is still the best in the game, but he has lost some of his appeal mainly cuz he is everywhere. His appearances on The Chronic ,Doggystyle, and Reggulate left us fiendin for more. He sounded so fresh and different, it was impossible not to like him...I don't blame Dre (or Storch), or Neptunes, or Kokane or anybody, cuz they wanna get money. Nate could pump out a million tight hooks, and the Neptunes could make a million songs for the clubs, but when is enough ENOUGH?
there are 2 huge problems that hip hop has that is destroying it and needs to get rid of....ja rule and nelly
it seems we're only getting about 5 or 6 good albums per year now. Thats how its been for the last 2-3 years
