any1 else i 4got?? just wait for Dr Dre's new record its going to be the best CD all year and probably next year too well its a new generation.. the music that used to educate ppl has died... thats what happened when bootleggers stepped in the game.. artists don't put they all in it no more cause ain't no money being made behind it.. hip hop is almost dead. but if they find a way to fight bootleggers i think the game will do a shift for the best.. by the way geto boys, 2pac, nas public enemy and dead prez just a few to name was our new malcolm and martin luthers of our time.. but hey... who da blame. bootleggers drive better cars than the artists now No you did not start out a question, that is questioning hip hop losing it's creativity, and then start it out with a Biggie line as your example?! So much disrespect! Then have the nerve to put him as an example of who you miss?! And everyone that you named has had their share of money, cash, hoes songs! Step your game up! whatever homie. i read about halfway thru them shits before i got tired of em. kanye aint the only person out there homie. you gotta take your ears, open them shits up and listen to other folks homie. preciate cha.
