Yep. I don't spend a lotta time focusing on negatives, but there is plenty of blame to go around. I like that Fusion spends time talking about what can be done to make things better. It's really not that complicated, but the internet lures us into complaining about the current state of affairs instead of making it better.

Hip hop is an activist culture. If you expect good music to just COME to you... you are probably not a hip hopper anyways. Or at the very least, you are not living it. It's dead in you. Let me say it this way: Once YOU started letting the "Industry" pick your favorite rappers for you, the hip hop IN YOU took a long nap. In the nineties, the Industry was doing a pretty good job of picking for you, but those days are over, and pop rap sucks again. Don't panic! It's no big deal. Just put your ear to the street and start picking your own shit again. Don't worry about who's "hot" or whatever. Just buy (GASP) the stuff you like. Yeah, even though starving artists will often give away perfectly good music free, you should pay some of them anyways. Which ones? Only the dopest ones. Which ones are the dopest?
You haven't been listening, have you?
Sigh... PICK YOUR OWN! But don't keep it a secret! SHARE what you find with others like I do. Don't waste time arguing with other people's picks. Trust me, I could fill my day fronting on the wack ass music you like, but I don't, 'cause that's a waste of my time. I share the good stuff I find, and some times, I even BUY something. That's what's up!
