Some currently unknown rapper will come in and take over the game like 50 in 2002 and Drake in 2009. Fans will clamor for the album just to be disappointed like usual by most new wonders. Lyrics will be how a song is judged not a hot hook and a beat. Radio actually starts playing rap music instead of what's hot on the charts.

Very possible. There's a pool of youngin's that actually appreciate the older stuff that seems to be growing a bit.

Drake will be the biggest rapper in the game.

A gay rapper will emerge and be accepted (somewhat).

The West Coast will regain its dominance, but the East Coast will be more relevant.

Riff Raff will be a household name

Even with all these questionable moments taking place, I think hip-hop will have a thriving resurgence similar to the Native Tongues in the late 80's-early 90's.

Ross will be Diddy status :takedat:, MMG will still be a powerhouse. Drake will still be relevant, but Weezy'll be gone.

Mainstream rap will fuse with dance/DJ/dubstep music :scusthov:

Hopefully though TDE and G.O.O.D. music will :boss: reigning with some artistic shyt. Chicago/Midwest will be more relevant, but not dominant.

Also hope NYC brings the soul back into music. And by that I mean soul samples.

I'll probably still be checking for mixtapes more than studio albums.

Also agree with whoever said gold will be the new platinum.

YMCMB & MMG will no longer be relevant..

Em will retire

Hov will become a billionaire and will rap about it and piss u nikkas off again :lolbron:..and him and Beyonce will have more kids..

Ye will knock up Kim K. and will marry her..then when the baby is born he will literally hold the baby up like the Lion King in the delivery room. Then him and Kim will go through a bitter divorce and it would lead to one of the greatest albums of all time...hopefully I am wrong on that one..with the exception of the Kim K shyt...:yeshrug:

Albums will be sold strictly digitally..no more physical copies..CD's will cease to exist...

Nas will drop a few more albums and still be one of the G.O.A.T's...

Drake will drop 1 more album and then slowly go back into acting..and then he will pull a Timberlake and have music become his side hustle again..

Nicki Minaj will suffer the same fate as every other female MC..

Detox will drop.. by the end of 2013

Kendrick buzz will be higher than EVER in 2013 he will be a houselhold name.. and his BUZZ will allow

DRE TO DROP DETOX....

DETOX will have Kendrick all oer the album.. this will cement him as Dre's new protege ala snoop,EM




this is already happening... DRE has done this before with EM.. they will follow the same path career wise that EM went though

drop the solo album to introduce yourself to the mainstream.. SSLP( kendircks DEBUT) let that buzz..

Does Waffle_Guy realize Kendrick isn't even a household name yet? I dont get the posted August 2012 thing like his point was proven right or something
