Unfortunately atm it is all theory. Nothing else we can do. I'm saying they have the best shot though. They can get mainstream and underground interest. I know first hand. I know mainstream fans that eat that shit up.

jay elec already shit on the industry with his mixtape and so did blu with his debut although his followups wernt as hot as i hoped if you ask me there is more good hip hop out now then ever before, not much of it is classic cos i dont think artists are recording songs in a classic style if you get me. hip hop doesnt need saving, if the rappers on the radio say its dead what do i care, from where im looking its alive

^^^^ buuuuuuuut!.... Below The Heavens is mos def going to be a classic. Aaaaand!....... Blu's new mixtape "So(ul) Amazing 2" is more or less exactly where he left off with BTH and he's supposed to drop an album with Emanon, a solo project and a follow up to BTH with Exile within the next few years, 2 of which are rumored to drop in 2009. Also, Jay Electronica is dropping his debut this year. So what if they shit on the industry? The industry is going down the drain! Look at all the big corporations going caput. Within a year all of the "second string" companies in each industry will be bankrupt and the big companies will die soon after, leaving room for smaller companies on the come up. The music industry is dying at an alarming rate and no one is selling. The mainstream rappers are going to shit and real emcees are actually hanging steady. Trust me, who cares if they shit on the industry. In the next few years there might not even be an industry, unless of course they reform and sign underground artists and give them all the leway they want.

We've already got a nice amount of people trying to bring good music back to the masses. It might be really up to corporate media, because one of the reasons why we have these wack rappers all up high in the hills and shit, is because radio and television are trying to direct themselves to a new immature generation of younger kids who want to hear about plenty of girls, gangsta shit, and most of all having fun and dancing. 
Because I'm cool like dat. I'm chill like dat. I'm peace like dat.

i dunno about the label situation but if you look back some dope albums dropped in 08, i think hip hop on the radio is dead but for the listeners its better then ever like when nas dropped illmatic around the 'golden age' the dope shit was being played on the radio, now its fucked up i dunno if it will get back to where it was

ME! lol, but whoever it is hasn't arrived yet. they need to be able to make good singles plus good albums, plus love and respect for the culture and appeal to both the underground and the mainstream. as long as there are people who are oppressed or need to express themselves through poetry or art there will always be hip hop.

I looked at the moon so full and so bright
And then at the fireplace with its flickering light
And realised why this world will never be right

it's not gonna be an underground cat to do it...... It's gotta be someone with an original style that has already touched both mainstream and underground audiences...... Bone Thugs ??? Buckshot/KRS1???

Nah man, someone new. It has to be a fresh face these kids don't wanna hear "old ass cats like KRS One that don't know when the time is right to put the mic down." That is the mindset. That is why it has to be someone young, fresh, new.

Quote (eboyd) That is why it has to be someone young, fresh, new. young fresh and new kids only have one thing on their mind - $$$$$$$$$ - not gonna work........... how many "young fresh and new" dudes have stepped up since, say 2005, and what have any of them done for hiphop besides make it worse? none have really done much for me anyway
