i agree- hip hop isnt what it used to be, but then again, there isnt much music nowadays that is. anything on mtv or on any countdown is mindless, no-talent-required so-called music. Why are bands like fall out boy and panic! at the disco popular? it makes no sense, they just play power chords to a whinny vocalist. thats not right! what happened to music being about the music instead of this trash? im sorry im off topic, but i figured itd be better to do this instead of starting a new thread on pretty much the same thing.
