Atleast he was man enough to apoligize which i give him props for. stating hip hop is dead is a matter of opinion in which everyone is entitled to. but no longer can you say the south is the reason for the state of hip hop, i mean chicken noodle soup cats is from harlem. read the article in the source magazine about how the videos of today's rappers particularly from the south look like old movies with black people dancin in the fields like good slaves trying to please their master. it's not the south's fault that most consumers of rap a little kids who idolize a lifestyle that they were never apart of. in the words of Common 'if i don't like it, i don't like it it don't mena that I'm hating. and a lot of bitch music came out of new york it was just squashed by biggie, nas, wu, gangstarr, black moon, tribe and others. we didn't want to hear that bubble gum shit but now that is all they want to listen to.

True. It is opinion, but when it is a mass-felt opinion, you have to wonder. Ya know.

but no longer can you say the south is the reason for the state of hip hop, i mean chicken noodle soup cats is from harlem.

You can't blame the South for the continual downfall of rap, but it did lead it in this direction.

it's not the south's fault that most consumers of rap a little kids who idolize a lifestyle that they were never apart of.

Who said anything about this?

in the words of Common 'if i don't like it, i don't like it it don't mena that I'm hating.

That's probably the only words of Common that I like. Tis true, also. Later, QD.

i was referring to the quote by Tony that the consumers make the artist which inturn make the bullshit. the problem with rap/ hip hop is it is the biggest selling music genre right now supported by people who are infatuated with a lifestyle they see only in movies and videos and mimic to perfection. there are too many rappers not enough hip hop artist who truly love the art form. but if you received the art form via mtv or bet which was a watered down version meant for record sales and mass appeal what do you expect? u know i am waiting for your reply on this!
