Hip hop is dead, numbers are in

It's official! Expect to see less and less of bum rappers flashin' their rented cars and borrowed villas, faux pimps and ho's, pole strippin' and all on TV and radio.

Hip-hop will have to go back to its roots to survive and its pioneers are all for it.

The rumors have been swirling since last year, the numbers are now there to prove it.

Even kids are tired of the genre, hip-hop is not cool anymore but don't tell that to the music moguls... , they'll suck hip-hop dry as long as they can, hip hop on the mainstream lived so long only cause it was oh so profitable.

USA Today has published an in-depth article complete with record sales numbers.

"Who killed hip-hop" also on USA Today

Classic hip-hop (re:1979-1996) will evidently gain a new following, generation "Y" are discovering that there's more to the genre than what they've been accustomed to in the last 5-10 years.END
