The debate of where the future of rap lies is a never ending one. There are people claiming that Drake is the Messiah, that the south is the root of all evil, and even my arguments that The best of the best are not doing enough. But really one region or person cannot be blamed for everything, and certainly cannot change everything. The future of hip hop lies in the hands of the consumer. Without a willing market none of the above would be making waves anywhere. Listening to someone brag about their sexual prowess or possessions has never appealed to me. Neither has doing the Jerk or Stanky leg. But not everyone likes thinking about what they're listening to either. There is a need for both kinds of hip hop. Whatever falls in between has a place too. The real debate should be about finding a balance for it all, finding a balance or opening up the dissapointed's eyes to other genres.
I say, create new genres branched under hip-hop. That way people can see the difference between a stanky leg and a b-boy stance. But that's just what I think...
