    well I feel like hip hop has gotten worse and worse.
    But I also feel that hip hop has begun to transform and mix with other genres, like the beats from timbaland mixed with rap and other singers from other music genres. Which gives it a good new taste.

    I mean music is kind of the same as food, you can’t eat lasagna for 2 years straight without getting tired of it, the same thing applies to music. What makes good music is the new and cool approaches that sound so danm good.

    One song that has mixed a techno/nitendo kind of music beat with rap is Adam Tensta from sweden. The sound is new and cool.

    Here’s the vid if you are interested in hearing the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMTB_LJKIh4

    I’ve always appreciated the rhymes of guys like Lupe Fiasco, Talib Kweli, and Kanye West… although the last of which comes off sounding pretty ignorant sometimes.
