Just mad because the south has all the good artists
anyways.. not a big fan of rap, but I like a couple songs.
We are talking about rap, not hip-hop.. they are two different things.
Pretty much anything you hear on the radio is going to be rap.
But, everyone just ran out of stuff to say..
All they can do is go with the trends, and if they hear a new phrase like "whip", copy it and implement it in their song.
Or make up their own ridiculous words.
There also aren't that many good artists out there, so there isn't a lot on the radio. Thus.. they hear a new song, play it for a week straight and then it is dead. A lot of rock stations are starting to cycle in the old stuff, and I bet we can see rap stations doing the same.
Rap died out about 7 years ago anyways.

Reminds me of a young kanye.. so naive..
Does he really think that he is that special?? and that his stuff is what real hip-hop is..
