People who ruined the decade - 50 Cent

[Dpleezy]

50 Cent Bought a lot of ugly houses, killed hip-hop in the process

Good work on destroying hip-hop there, Curtis Jackson. Your relentless – and highly profitable – pursuit of the lowest common denominator has turned what was once actually exciting, a musical form that had wit and imagination and some glorious fire in its belly, into something crushingly, ball-achingly tedious, a tail-chasing, scab-picking parody of itself. I mean, well done on the cash and all that, but couldn't "Fiddy" have done something more interesting with it other than just buy an ugly house, some bullet-proof vests and a bunch of vulgar motors while writing rhymes like, "'Til the sun comes up, every night, we party, yeah we party 'til daylight", or, if you prefer, "I'm in my Lambo maggot, my 4, 4 faggot …" Is that it? Is that all the hip-hop fan deserves? Apparently, yes; yes it is.

KANYE & PHARRELL Still abusing the very idea of a superproducer

If someone were to visit your house tonight and steal every single piece of music that either Pharrell or Kanye had ever touched, would you really care? Would you feel even slightly aggrieved? Would you miss The Blueprint or In Search Of? Probably. Or might you think, "You know, I feel freer already. I don't have to care about mind-numbingly self-obsessed superproducers who have spent years selling their arses to the highest bidder as the quality of their own work – the very reason I liked them in the first place – sank ever lower." Are you burning with desire to hear, say, Pharrell's work with Lindsay Lohan? What about his Jennifer Lopez stuff? What about Kanye's track with 30 Seconds To Mars? Maybe it'll be as good as those songs you still love from his Auto-Tune record! Is your blood pumping a little faster yet? No. Nor is anyone else's.

Well, this whole decade was full of shit. Even though underground head kept it straight, the
people that were once powerhouses in mainstream Hip Hop became disfunct. DMX went deep
into crack, Busta became sane, 50 came out and snitched (therefore causing Murder Inc. to dissolve), Boy band groups formed in Hip Hop (Murder Inc, G-Unit, Dipset), Pop shit from the South
dominated the airwaves (who can forget Lil' Jon), and we have a crack and syrup addict claiming to youngsters that he's the best rapper alive (y'all know who). Even though beefs have been
prominent in Hip Hop, some of us have seen how record companies profit from it. I know that
Nas was trying to start that "Hip-Hop is dead" fad during the late part of this decade but
for some reason, I don't wanna think it or beleive it. Like R.A. the Rugged Man said, "It's still
alive and breathing, just stay away from the corporate shit".

I also forgot how the metrosexual culture entered Hip Hop fashion during the decade. Sad

Yo...

Since the beginning of hip hop there have been  douchebags who should've been shot at dawn for compromising the quality of the artform. MC Hammer, Digital Underground (Humpty song), Fresh Prince (aka Will Smith) and the guy who sang 'I love big butts and i cannot lie'...

They, and others like them, will be around for the next 100 decades. It is useless to complain. If you feel you are contributing to positive growth of the culture, work harder.
