   The electronic music hipster scene is the new disco. Hip Hop is Hip Hop. One thing is like Cher and the other Denzel. Still SMH at Nas for making Hip Hop Is Dead and then releasing that song with Keri Hilson. Shit pretty much sums up the genre.

   unfair comparison.. They both already cemented their status… They don’t/didn’t need to prove anything. Also the market is a lot more competitive then when jay and Michael Jackson came… If you can’t maintain a buzz you’re dead

    @ casket.

    I wouldn’t blame the mixtape or youtube, as much as the complete OVERSATURATION of artist’s music, face ,etc. Labels and artists (blogs, etc) have conditioned the listener to get a song, listen to it once, and EXPECT another song almost immediately. It used to be an artist would drop ONE single around 4-5 months before their album, go on a promo tour to break the record, then drop another single right around the time the album drops (word to the old ass stickers that used to advertise three different songs that you hadn’t heard yet). Later, people used to drop 1 mixtape in order to supplement the album release cycle. Now, you have trailers to videos (WTF), mixtape videos (WTF), mixtape trailers (seriously…WTF), artwork, etc, then 30 song mixtapes that drop, with maybe two hot songs and 1 or 2 freestyles. Problem is, EVERY OTHER artists is doing the SAME thing, so, instead of being able to listen to one mixtape and make a decision whether you like it or not, you have 5-6 dropping at the SAME time, with EVERYONE doing the same promotion. The listener never gets a chance to enjoy the music, lest they be unable to have a discussion about current hip-hop. This is pretty much the formula for Major Artists, indie artists, and up-and-comers, and it is impossible to keep up with it all, so we simply listen once, download and delete, and wash, rinse, and repeat until this industry collapses upon itself.

    Long story short, too much music, no time to actually listen.

    STOP IT! “we” created the “competitive market”….out of sheer thirst and and angst.

    does miley cirus have a mixtape? justin beirber? jonas brothers?….that’s why drake sold 147K.

    micheal jackson nor jay-z EVER SOLD THEMSELVES SHORT by saying “here’s a sample”…fuckouttahere.

    and Nas saying Hip-Hop is dead is the truth! the culture, the love and anticpation as we know it is GONE! No more Hard Knock Life Tours!

    thank youtube, twitter, myspace, iphone and the rappers with no confidence in themselves that would realease 30 mixtapes a year rather than one BANGING ass album with 1 track from each shitty mixtape.

    ==================================
    If you define “classic” as having alot of hype, good production but the artist has zero appeal and even less actual talent making songs, then I agree 100%.
    This one is prolly a “classic” too.

    ^^^

    First off, you can’t compare different genres. Hip-hop has always been about satisfying your fanbase, while maintaining artistic integrity, while meeting commercial expectations. Its a hard line to tip-top, and few artists have actually done it successfully. the older album cycle was 2-4 years between albums for hip-hop artists, with extensive touring involved to allow them to sell their music and build a fanbase (read: not bandwagon fans, but actual fans). As money began to flow into the industry, and technology allowed up-and-coming artists the ability to compete with majors, the album cycle got shortened, as artists who took years off came back to find out that their audience had moved on to that “new-new.” In addition, the mixtape became the go-to choice for artists after G-Unit and Dipset proved that you can get on without having a major label backing. This was the final straw holding back the floodgates. Eventually, the album cycle became supplemented via the mixtape because artists who DIDN’T release them (even Camel was freestyling and he did drop a mixtape) in order to “be in the streets/feed the streets” eventually fell to the wayside. For many artists, the mixtape became the album (word to The Champ Is Here 1) that people were willing to support, while the album became a vehicle for commercial success, rather than an endeavour of the artist, which was a direct result of the change in the album cycle.
