Sadly, the same can be said for trance, progressive, and most other genres of music (pop, American country, etc.) Commercial success attracts those who live for the money, not the music. |
Wrong. GANGSTA RAP killed hip-hop. Black music was always a celebration of africanism not talking about thugs and violence. Da La Soul in the 80's were the living proof of this as well as Run-DMC who didn't shy away from the "white" culture's metal but embraced it as an art form in their samples and beats. Talib Kweli along with infamous Mos Def and DJ HiTek took this even further but nope sorry being "Gantsa" and "thug life" is so much more clever and original than what they or, common for example, sang about.
