How did good Hip-hop get shoved to the bottom of the pile?
Posted by adminJul 29
I’m curious as to how nearly all of the Hip-hop you see on the TV and hear on the radio is more or less undiluted bullshit being spewed from the mouths of those such as Lil Wayne and Soulja Boy. And that these days, the rap songs with even half-decent lyrics are swept underground and never gain the recognition they deserve.
The question mainly is that I want to know how in the nine hells good music got pushed to the wayside in lieu of dance songs and lame punchlines.

There are a lot of factors, but ultimately it comes down to supply and demand. The record buying public are to blame at the end of the day.
