Pre-uni, I had no access to early 90s rap (apart from all the 2pac stans), so I was happy to let the likes of Mobb Deep, Snoop, Raekwon (most of Wu-tang come to think of it) and the like wallow in mediocrity, because as far as I could tell, that's all they'd ever done.
Only relatively recently have I turned into a grumpy old KRS-type dude, pissed off at the lazy cunts as they drown in iniquity, putting out 2 or 3 star albums that get 4/5 in XXL and Vibe when (10 years ago) they could do so much better.
Was enjoying the sales figure slump (shitness of the music had to catch up with them eventually) until I realised we're 2 months into '07 and noone's had the balls to drop an album yet. Should we be worried? Not sure whether I prefer no hip-hop or loadsa shit hip-hop; good philosophical question.
[If they're that scared of going triple wood, everyone should just go the Koch route ($7 an album, baby!)]
