Where will hip-hop be in 20 years??
I just got back from visiting our future - and it doesn't
look pretty. check it out:

Company Flow - As they got more and more play on MTV and
BET, they started sounding more and more commercial. Now that
they got a taste of the cash, they went all out. They even got
signed to a major and payed Puffy to remix and rhyme on a song.

Wu-Tang Clan - Of course they are ledgendary in 20 years, with
2 releases by every member (except for Tical 2, we are still waiting
for that to drop). Soon after, "The Best of Wu-Tang" compilation albums started coming out. Ol' Dirty was kicked out of the group because of the embarrasments and constant drunkeness. Wu spin-off groups dominated
the entire music industry. Almost every group in hip-hop sounds
like Wu and has some affiliation to them (i.e. the emcee is Rza's dad's barber's son). They even have some rock groups singing about choppin
necks.

KRS-One - daam, Kris is 50+ with grey hair! He's still
a mainstay of hip-hop and is still well-respected (he
didn't do anymore Sprite commercials). He started up
his own record label and hip-hop fans look at him as we
look at Grandmaster Flash now.

Redman - 45 years old and still rhyming about smokin blunts.
"I got a slight problem....I smoke weed too much/
I got my social security check and rolled it up like a dutch"

Nas - After taking all that shit about him falling off on "It was
Written" and "The Firm: The Album".....He went out and got all
the producers from his first album (Primo, LES, Pete Rock, Extra P,
Q-Tip) and came out with Illmatic part 2 - regaining his street credibility

and the rawness he was lacking of late. He is now *the* artist that
everyone wants to do a song with.

Foxy Brown - 40 years old and still rhyming about her ill nana.
"Sittin topless on the beaches of Santa Domingo,
the security ask me to put my top on, but I don't go,
I love it when I spread my legs in the sand,
but ever since I turned 40, I can't get a man"

Cypress Hill - They have never been the same since B-Real
died of a drug overdose.

Mase - who??

Canibus - He released another record dissin LL and was shot a few days later. The wierd thing is that he was killed on the 13th hour of the 13th day
of the 13th month, in 2013. And on his second album cover, there was a picture of him ressurecting from the grave. And no autopsy was performed either!, and it was a closed casket funeral! Conspiracy theorists believe his
death was just a publicity stunt to raise record sales.

Cam'Ron - who??

Tupac - Turns out that he was really alive after all. It was all just a hoax
so he could get out of Suge's Death Row Records (who was ripping him
off). He and Biggie (oh did I mention that B.I.G. is still alive?) signed
to
Aftermath and came out wth a joint album.

Master P & No Limit crew - After releasing one "No Limit" album every
week for five years, they finally ran out of rhymes. You can only rhyme about "ice Cream" and guns for so long. Master P and co. started rhyming about real shit. Master P/Common Sense songs began appearing, along
with Mystikal/Goodie Mob and Soldier slim/Roots tracks.
No Limit started focusing on rhymes and put out albums once a year
instead on 12 a year.

Tiger Woods - Following the same path as Shaq, T-Woods put out a
couple albums. T-Woods first single (produced by the trackmasters)
blew the fuck up!! It was called "Drive, Chip, Putt".

Thats all for now...more coming soon.
Peace,
Fee
