Rap and Hip-Hop

What do you think is going to happen? The past few years record sales have been in a decline. I'm a fan of hip-hop music and have seen sales dramatically decrease. It's not only rap, but also rock and other genres. MP3's, I-pods, Peer 2 Peer sharing programs (ex: Limewire) are killing record sales, and also limit the oppurtunity of underground artist to come up. Do you think the responsibility lies with internet users downloading music, the government for not shutting down p2p sharing programs, or a lack in publicity or promotion for the albums. What do you think we should do to fix this problem? CD's are getting old fashion, and mp3's are the new deal, but they kill the record sales, due to the fact some may just order some songs of the album and not the whole thing (legally or illegally). Are there any solutions to this problem? If not, I seriously think that the music industry it's reaching a DEAD END. What should be done??

His music seems to be getting more and more wack and generic. His new song sucks! Is it me or should he retire and revel in his Vitamin Water money?

A lot of rap songs lyrics pertain to growing up in the hood and how society had failed them yet they rarely (if at all) spend any of the money these songs generate to help those living under those conditions by rebuilding and cleaning it up.some of the house parties these rap artists throw are more costly to throw than to build a community center or beautify a park or fix a playground up.Are rappers glorifying the bad living conditions or just blaming society for it's problems?

if you gonna answer an artist name, please explain why you think they are the best rapper currently right now.
right now, i think lil wayne is the best rapper, because he can come out with flows from the top of his head while he raps, which is why he does so many freestyles. and the fact that he doesnt come out with any stupid rhymes on a freestyle like most rappers do is remarkable. rappers like jay-z, t.i., youngbloodz and all are good, but only because they spend their time in the stupio editing their lyrics to make them better and official as a track on their album. Lil wayne just spit from the top of his head and do just as good as their edited lyrics, sometimes even better! and thats why i think lil wayne is one of the best rappers alive. so who do you think is the best rapper alive? and tell me why. also if you like, who is your favorite artist? mines E-40, KRS-One, iCE Cube just to name a few.

What is the best Jay-Z album? Alot of people say "Reasonable Doubt" his first album was his greatest. I'll admit that was a great album, but it isn't on the same level as: The Blueprint". I think that "The Blueprint" is just a much more better album. Both of the albums received 5 mic classic ratings. Tell me what you think?
