Hip Hop is going through the same thing that Rock n Roll and every other form of Music has gone through. Right now there is a lot of garbage...but there are still MC's out there. Everytime I think that Hip Hop is on her Last lifeline she births out another banging CD. Music is always an expression of the culture or like a thermometer for where the people are. Especially Black people's music.

Our Music from Slavery until now has always reflected that. Hip Hop came after the death of the Civil Rights Movement and the silencing/destruction of its leaders. Hip Hop is this generation's Movement. Many of the people out here are Smoked Out, Sleep Walking, Out for Money, Etc... So naturally the music reflects that in many NOT ALL instances.

But the real reason is or should I say ONE of the reasons is that Record Execs. think that only the stuff that is on the TV and on the radio will sale. Classic Example is what happened to Rakim at Aftermath/Interscope. There are MC's that break through...

The only reason why we are on an ild school trip is because we listen to old hip-hop and it makes us feel young again. We like that feeling. Now classic old school albums are just that, classic. DOC, NWA, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Snoop, 2Pac, Rakim, KRS-One/Boogie Down Production, De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest, Wu Tang Clan, Bigge and Nas. That's some quality shit. But try listening to your old tapes, 10 year old tapes. Name some classic shit outside of 2Pac and the Dogg Pound from 1995.

I'm too young to know about DOC and NWA since young age. One of the first hiphop thing I remember is Dr. Dre's Keep their heads ringin'. Still, I love listening to N.W.A and The D.O.C. and all that. It probably IS good music. The same goes for all of that early Wu-Tang stuff. It's great music I discovered pretty late, but I love most of it.
