When 50 Cent first burst onto the scene it was thought that Hip-Hop was dying and 50 Cent would be the one to bring it back, and my opinion is that he did have a strong movement and role in this and a lot of people supported him. But now he has begun to fade into the background and it feels like hip hop is dying again. His style of hip hop catered for those that are wanting the original old school style as well as the people not so familiar with the hip hop history, but just want something good to listen to.
Just like our earlier post about Lil Wayne however, some people will not agree with these statements. As 6oD said to me, he believes that the way that Lil Wayne is being treated as a rapper of legendary status is the same as when 50 Cent was in the spotlight. They all deserve their moments, but with the more popular 'snap music' etc in the mainstream, are the veterans being taken over by the novices?

Can you tell us what you think good hip hop is? Give us some track examples and links to where we can listen to them?
Some posts on individual tracks and why you like them might be interesting.
What is the reality of hip hop? How is it poetic?
