Want to blame someone for the way hip hop has gone, blame the consumers and the media but not the rappers. If Jay-Z or Jeezy decided they wanted to change up and rap like Common do you really think they would sell records like they do? No, and the next person who wants to rap about bs behind a good beat will step up.
