Hip Hop isn't dead, it's just horribly imbalanced. A lot of artists are too concerned with making a hit or jumping on what's hot now rather than making what they want to make. Nobody asked for Tribe and yet we got them. Nobody asked for Nas yet we got him. People today want a Future, they want a Young Thug, they want a Drake. The results? A bunch of clones of the guys above.

honestly, when puffy became a rapper 
97' was a different time and you saw hip hop make a much more commercial leap and you had guys like puffy and master p (he'd been rappin' but his 97'/98' was his breakout year) rappin' when they really can't
i mean, if you accept it for what it is and nothin' more than just some funny shyt talkin' shyt, then it is what it is. nothin' more. but actually mcin'? naw, they ain't them. they just some businessmen who saw an opportunity to cash in on some shyt that they knew they didn't have the talent for but a spotlight and lane for
sure, puff was funny when talkin' shyt on records from time to time and for the adlibs and i can even tolerate that "no way out" album because of the beats/production and the guests on it ("victory" is a classic, not even puff's no flow delivery could fukk that up) but it was just the first time
and yeah, eazy e had ghostwriters like puffy but the difference is eazy's persona worked more in his favor as a rapper in my opinion than it did for puffy as a rapper to me for a whole album. i could tolerate puffy's rappin' when it was like a guest feature or for a little while but for a whole album was cringe worthy

Hip hop evolved...its a young genre with fads and constant innovation.
I hate the mid 00s ringtone era but its in a good place right now.
Some of you n!ggas are just spoilt... Go talk to pop/rock fans and you'll be glad every year if not every month you get fresh releases.
Nas, Hov, Ye are due to drop any time soon with the next 12 months.
The new new school is cookin up...and the current gen all dropped solid efforts (except for Tyler)
