No doubt... when it comes to hip hop it really has lost its way in society... but when you think about it these newer artist including old... are in it for the money... no matter what they say... older artist like Nas, Mos def, Common, Slick rick, LL cool J (back in the day)... they coming from nuttin and making sumthing outta them selves... like tha newer artist but the way people are nowadays cars, clothes and jewels is the only thang they down for that why when it come to Rap, pop, Rnb, jazz, rock, etc... it depends weather you wanna be in the business to make money... or be a meaningful artist... and usually its hard to voice you words unless you kind sell out... but down to the final line... Yes.... hip hop has stop and lost its way in glamor and fame....
peace
