    In the mainstream you have to have melodies in your music if you want a hit in today's climate.

    A Southern takeover.....

    Lyrics becoming almost obsolete in the mainstream....

    A president openly stating they ? with Hip-Hop (granted, he black, but still...)

    Rock actually near death.....

    And having great hip hop taste, not just naming random popular names to seem hip. If you've been paying attention Obama on separate occasions has named Jay Z, Nas, Kendrick, Talib Kweli and Mos Def. he chose cuts off Black on Both Sides and Train of Thought for a Spotify playlist last year and said Kendrick How Much a Dollar Cost was his favorite song off TPAB. The thought of those albums playing in the White House is crazy

    That cash money (young money) would not only be relevant, but have some of the biggest acts on hip hop. Who could have guessed that the label pumping out Choppa City and Young and Thuggin would one day be a major force in hip hop with a female rapper from new York and a child actor from toronto

    Im surprised by how much energy people put into music they "dont like". Its mostly an internet thing. Like common sense just dont fck with it then. It just looks sorry and lame. I didnt expect the late 80s hair styles and fashions to come back around.

    Mainstream/radio rap music on its "feminine"/sing a long trajectory.

    Rappers favoring social media over settling beefs on wax.

    Female rappers as a whole still haven't gotten over the ? in the bucket mentality.

    The feeling of buying a new album and physically opening it and looking at the liner notes is gone.

    Relying more on my phone than dudes from around the way or older heads when it comes to getting put on to good music.

    Yeah, the transformation of cash money is crazy to think about

    Birdman can be all the bad schit people say but I still salute him for leading a label from the slums of N.O. to the too of the industry

    I miss the sampling and scratching.

    I realize that sampling can eat up production costs and reduce your bottom line, but its always been part of what makes Hip Hop what it is; Hip Hop.

    Nowadays you got live instruments, which is cool, but thats not what Hip Hop is.

    videos being somewhere else other than a club, swimming pool or party atmosphere.

    the focus on the artist and not the ass shaking to distract you from weak music
