And introducing an essayish thing on hip hop:
For last err... well since 1979 hip hop has been a profitible in-dus-try. Now, if we can remember the 80s, we can remember the state of rock:
Band after band came out with only two kinds of songs: The hard rock and the ballad. But after 1989 a nice little band called Nirvana came out, but why did they sell?
Oversaturation.
The point is people were tired of the party and sad. And then, Kurt died. Rock plummeted and pop reigned. Evil, demonic, teen pop. I'm afraid I fell for it too... blah.
Fast track to 2005. New hip hop artists are coming out with party tracks all about the booty (Get Low) or pop R&B songs that talk about the nasty (Let's get Naked). But it isn't one song, it's all of them. So what's my prediction? Several, including:
Hip hop will fizzle and will make room for either reggaeton, house, or rock. Maybe retro'll be in and we'll see New Wave.
Maybe Ska'll come back, who knows. What do you see in the future of hip hop? Discuss.
Now granted my history is a bit biased, but I wasn't raised in a suburban neighborhood, and I wasn't raised in the ghetto either. Nor in the city or in a farm... but whatever. Just see me, where do you see rap in ten years?
