have you guys heard the song "a bay bay"?
jeez has rap really been reduced to mindless jibberish about
females, money, and cars?
the only shining beacon of hope for contemporary rap music is Common.

Blackalicious. Kthxbye.
Blackalicious - Make You Feel That Way
and to raise the ante on positive lyrics:
De La Soul - Stakes is High
now let's take a look at MF Doom, this guy has collaberated with damn near everyone:
De La Soul & MF Doom - Rock Co Kane Flow
Madlib & MF Doom (Madvillian) - Rhinestone Cowboy
DJ Dangermouse & MF Doom (Dangerdoom) - The Mask
Gorillaz & MF Doom - November has Come
and of course has done some solo shit as well
MF Doom - Beef Rap
You've all hit the head fine.
Commercial rap is dying horribly. The past few years have been horrible, regardless of the couple that weren't garbage.
Rock has been downward as well, to me at least. I can't get into much of the new rock.
It's all across the board, not just rap, regardless of how one sided you want it to be. When burners and burnable media became cheap and easily obtainable, music sales have continued to decline. It's a shame too, because without sales, these guys won't be sticking around.
