What's Next For Hip-Hop

[Pool_Shark]

Where do you see hip hop going in the next few years?
YMCMB has over saturated itself and unless Wayne can do a drastic reinvention I don't see there reign continuing. I also see Drake splitting with them just based off the fact that Drake is up next and he'd want to be his own boss and make jew moves.

I do see hip-hop becoming more lyrical again. More lyrical artist are getting played on the radio. Kendrick's got a single out, J.Cole's got a single out, Wale's got a single out, I don't think these rappers would've been getting any play in the laffy taffy era. Ringtone rap shyt.

I'm also kinda glad that techno shyt blew up cause a lot of the posers that would've tried to ride hip-hop culture to millions have left and invaded that one. On the other hand it does suck because you have people like Lupe wasting their time on that shyt.

What labels got next? What artist is about to dominate like wayne has been doing and whoever before him? What sound do you see taking over?

MMG and GOOD will have the radio on lock in the next few years. but only cuz YM will move over to the pop stations

I think stealthbombers got it right. I'm starting to here more big sean on the radio and a lot more Ross.

TDE is killing shyt right now but I don't think they'll be able to crossover into the mainstream, which is a good thing for us fans

I don't think YMCMB are going anywhere just yet. Let's be serious, Wayne can drop a single tomorrow with an album to follow on January 1 and that sh*t will still go gold first week. Barring Eminem, Drake is arguably the most commercially viable artist out there and Nicki got a mad following.

I think slightly lyrical rappers will take over in the forthcoming years. The albums from Meek, Rocky, Sean and Kendrick will go a long way to determining their longevity. Aside from all that, Cole is set for a good run. One of the few consistently delivering flames.

Lil wayne career is over. After dedication 4 dropped(and was trash) people stopped fukking with him like that and no one talks about him any more except for fags.
