Ever since I got to college, my music intake has changed drastically. No longer could I envelope myself in the sweet hum of MTV, or take the time out to listen to the radio (not that I ever did anyway).
As a result, I find myself comically out of touch with the modern music industry. You know that hot new thing on the Billboard charts? I don't. It's that simple.
So while I was "discovering" the greatest of whatever the people on campus decided to share through iTunes, things were apparently happening on the outside world. Namely, rap music was sucking epically.
Now supposedly we're going to see new releases from sure things like The Roots "Game Theory", Nas "Hip Hop Is Dead" and Outkast "Idlewild" very shortly-- and that's all well and good... but where is the fresh blood? I don't mean random new dudes with a record deal, I'm talking new artists of quality. Not since Kanye and Late Registration have I even considered getting a new rap album. WTF guy? WTF?
Can someone do something about this? This is where 80s Baby would come in, but he has abandoned this venture.
