Dre.

Bomb Squad.

Quest.

hip-hop is not what it once was. it was the rebellious new music. now
it's the relative newcomer who's become a millionaire. soon it'll be
looking down its nose at acid-j or whatever develops out of it and a
milion other things to challenge hip-hop as a more vital type of music.

that being said, I think rap itself, the vocal style, will not only
persevere but continue to move forward.
