If you are one to say Hiphop is dead. Who are your personal TOP 3 Suspects? :

Don't dance, we know NYC was home of that shyt. Answer the question or concede.

I ain’t dancing goofy, you can’t answer the question.

Just know all the top producers in the South were DJs first and foremost before you continue to make yourself look stupid.

Name 10 popular 90s New York artists that were also traditionalists.

All these posts and not one mention of the internet.

The internet killed a lot of music genres we listened to in the 90s.

The internet has been a net positive for music, it took power from the labels. Especially in Hip-Hop.

A poster mentioned it earlier. Saying it helped usher in the end of the hiphop gatekeepers.

Facts. Imagine if we had to rely on radio promoting or pushing great artist. Now you can do it yourself, thats ill.

Music would be even more trash, as hard as that is to imagine.

You think so?

Because a lot of inheritance money and then the illegal money has put less talented people at an advantage. They can buy equipment, record and then promote more. I don't know really, but props though.

Is that one of the 90s traditionalists you were talking about?

I see a few positives, but the internet got us to this place where the quality doesn't matter anymore.

Yea there are a few bright spots, but the internet opened the door to a whole lot of bullshyt which flooded the market and made good music hard to find.

Good music has never been easier to find especially with algorithms.

If you have good taste you don’t have any choice but to be flooded with high quality music daily.

If you don’t, you probably end up in your predicament.

Sounds good on paper, but it doesn't work.

I love independent artists as much as the next guy, but most artists need assistance to find their sound. Many start out by wanting to sound/look like "X" rapper.

All the popular artists we like didn't sound the same as they did when they first came out. They had a team to help them find a space.
