Media Speaks about decline of rap quality on CNN

Rap insider Chuck Creekmur, who runs the leading Web site Allhiphop.com, says he got a message from a friend recently "asking me to hook her up with some Red Hot Chili Peppers because she said she's through with rap. A lot of people are sick of rap ... the negativity is just over the top now."

..."I'm not removed from it, but I can't really tell the difference between Young Jeezy and Yung Joc. It's the same dumb stuff to me," says Duncan-Smith, 33. "I can't listen to that nonsense ... I can't listen to another black man talk about you don't come to the 'hood anymore and ghetto revivals ... I'm from the 'hood. How can you tell me you want to revive it? How about you want to change it? Rejuvenate it?"

Why does this need serious attention?
And why the hell would CNN need to address it.

About a week ago it was reported that rap CD sales were down 22 percent in 2006 compared to other genres. Of course, that's taking into account that the genres that are really getting the brunt of the backlash, like club style hip-hop, all fall under the "rap" umbrella.

commercial rap artists with tons of exposure are a relatively new phenomenon. they're marketed to lowest common denominator, and as such are of course garbage. if you look beneath the surface the genre is still evolving, albeit not nearly as much or as fast as it was in the glory days of the early 90's.

Maybe the mortality rate statistics were scatter-plotted against marijuana use.
