Man oh man.... That's flame-bait if I ever read it. Serious question
though, what makes you say this? Sure, the stuff coming out today may well
be different to the stuff coming out 5 or so years ago, because THAT WAS 5
OR SO YEARS AGO!!! Why do P.E. fans keep on expecting another "Nation of
Millions"? It won't happen!!! I think hip-hop is undergoing a natural
evolution whilst many of us (listeners,) remain stagnant, wanting to hear
more and more of the style that first switched us on to the music. People
and circumstances change (and in this case, the consequence being that the
music they're producing also changes.)
Hip-hop is here to stay and the hip-hop era will *NEVER* end, so long as
there's true heads honestly in love with the music. If your finding that
today's styles are somewhat empty, you're not peeping the right stuff.
Dino!
