Puff winning the grammy over Wu tang Clan...
shyt ain't dead, but the "hustler" mentality in the late 90s where everyone had a shyt clothing line and a shyt "label" basically allowed a bunch of get-rich-quick schemes to take precedence over the art form
The "I'm not a rapper" schtick basically stuck the whole game in a microwave
Hip Hop is like the only art form where blatantly endorsing your lack of skills is a GOOD thing

I'll give you J Cole he does have substance in his lyrics however the other rappers now are following a script to get air time. 2Pac created his own path and said fyck what theses record labels want to hear me say and he still sold out because people wanted to hear .
Today's rappers basically show off, bragging about what they have instead of focusing on a real message. Like I said before people don't even like listening to the local radio station anymore due to the same b******* song recycled 50 times a day. If the radio station programmers had better programming and I actually played music that can captivate the audience's attention then radio would not be falling drastically every year. They don't know what the people want to hear. these are just rich old executive white people a boardroom deciding on what song should be played.

the internet: prior to soundclick & all those sites, it was impossible to hear amateurish, homemade music unless it was your friends or something. there was tight quality control in radio/tv airplay & mags likes the source, rap pages, ego trip were strictly concerned with quality. you could hear obscure, underground artists on college radio but there was quality control there as well & those were artists trying to get deals so they were mostly good
sales: back in the days, i guess the labels didn't have sales algorithms down, cause they would back an artist like Kurious or Nine. artists that maybe couldn't sell gold but were still dope. they'd have multiple videos on tv & get airplay on late night radio shows. less artists to promote= less variety. we get repetitive mainstream music & a clusterfukk of underground artists where its hard to dig through all the music just to find stuff you like

Internet fans who don't purchase any music yet voice their worthless opinion the loudest via hating, bytching and whining
and the rappers who attempt to appease their schizophrenic tastes
