Thu, August 25 2011 12:56pm - Source: Herohill

I don't know if you've listened to the "Top 40″ type radio much of late, but there is some really unfortunate hip hop on there right now. I mean, if you had come to me in the late 90′s and told me that one day I'd be pining for the bling & beat-jacking era presided over by Puff Dirt-Diddly-Dee Combs, I'd have told you in no un-certain terms that you were crazy. We're talking Randy & Evi Quaid vs the Star Whackers-level crazy. But it seems like this is now the case. I say this because today's commercial or radio hip hop, while still generally obsessed with obtaining vast sums of wealth and bragging about said wealth, has morphed, sonically, to a stage where it is almost unlistenable. Somehow house music has once again wormed its way into hip hop, and as a result, most "rap" songs I hear on radio right now sound like rap-house rejects with beats that Mr. Lee would be embarrassed to spit over.
