Has Hip Hop Gone to Far!?

As much as I love Hip Hop, where it came from, it's history etc. I sometimes wonder where is it going? On a regular basis I run across some of the most horrible Hip Hop music ever created. From the lyrics, to the beats, to the promotion and down right coonery that some artist put out as music. I am not trying to say that I am an expert on what is good and what is bad, but sometimes good old common sense is needed when these so called rap artist put out their work. The rap game is getting more and more competitive. Gone are the days when you put out an album and you could depend on the sales to bring in the cash. Gone are the days when you completely own all of the publishing rights to your song or had enough points on your album to feel good at the end of the day. Artist today have to diversify how their music is sold and marketed. Artist have to look to new avenues such as digital downloads, ringtones, product endorsements, mixtapes etc. So then with the game changing so much why do we still get plastered with garbage music on a daily basis. Are Hip Hop consumers really buying this stuff? I know that a lot of readers are waiting for me to start listing all the rappers who can be identified as the guilty conspirators, but thats not my call. You know who they are.....so ask yourself...IS HIP HOP GOING TO FAR????

Affion Crockett might have hit it on the nail with this one!
