No your wrong
The creativy and authenticity is still clear and there. BUT when you put Rich white men in charge of distributing music to young Black youth are going to get Crank That, Party Like a Rockstar and Lip Gloss in the mainstream.

nah... he is not really wrong. He has a great point. A lot of the creativity i gone, and a lot of the rap today is a lot of copying, gimmicks... I will admit the record execs most whom probably dont like rap at all are hurting the music and what gets put out, but overall, it is not the same. I stll bump, rakim, Krs-1 and Pete rock and CL smooth in my car today...
And can we please have this discussion without the name calling, some of you are unfairly attacking bluest and the name calling has to stop..
