But in 15 years time Waka Flocka and Gucci Mane will still be considered crap. Oldskool doesnt equal good.
Rap has always been about conflict, but conflict through art and not by gun or violence.
Some of the best rap I ever heard was in rap battles and freestyle sessions.
Competition drives innovation, lack of it drives stagnation, which is where we are at right now.

Hip hop used to be a diverse art form with many facets but now it pretty much all sounds the same.
Hip hop doesnt really mean anything anymore, to me its just fashion and bullshit to a musical backing track.

I understand that, but Real rocognize Real! Gangsterrap is a part of it. Never thought the Black eyed peas would end up makin party tracks with miley cyrus etc when I heared "bridgin the gap" back in the days, but They sell their ass, too. I don't care, about the genre, I got waka flocka in the same playlist as Talib Kweli, for example, as long as my head nods, it's HipHop to me :D
