Hey everyone, sorry about the delay of the blogs and stuff, as like most of you we have been enjoying our holiday break, and seeing as both myself and QoD are both new to blogging, along with university its hard to keep up with it all. Enough with the excuses lets get back on topic!
I was actually checking out the site 'State of Hip Hop Blog' (a site we are using to aid us in our research) and came across an interesting post about how people are looking at the pioneers of the hip hop industry as irrelevant. From that I started to think, is this what is causing people to forget the 'Golden Age', as they see rappers like LL Cool J, Coolio etc no longer needed for the industry. They are still recording music to this day but not as they usually do, but by trying to relate it to what people want today. But this doesn't seem to be enough. So are these 'forgotten' pioneers doing the right thing by abandoning their successful styles, or should they continue to try and 'fit in' with the rest of the present rappers?
Could we even be seeing today's rappers doing the same in later years? Over on our facebook discussion page somebody posted about the rapper Common heading that way with his latest album 'Universal Mind Control'. Could Common be heading our way?
Let us know your thoughts, we look forward to them...
...PEACE
