Isn't rap just about played out by now?
Once white "artists" started doing it, it lost all credibility. Now black artists are looking for something different. It started as an "art" form by people who couldn't hold a tune. They couldn't write music either, because they sampled other artists' original work. It evolved into an original art form in it's own right, with more originality and meaning. But now, there are more middle class white teenage boys with their pants hanging half way down their ass and speaking ebonics who have no clue what it's about. It's lost it's meaning and become bubblegum - like so many Kiss albums. Or rather... like every other original black musical genre which was poorly covered by white artists untill it died.
