I see his point, but I don't really agree with it. As a whole, yeah, hip-hop is declining- but I think if you keep your eyes open, you find stuff that's as creative as ever. For example, I'm a big fan of the incorporation of live instrumentals or unique genre-transcending albums (P.O.S. 'Never Better'). Also, a lot of the guys who haven't had fame yet still have some very refreshing things to say. It's far from dead, or dying- in my opinion.

Life is just blah, blah, blah
You hope for blah
And sometimes you find it, but mostly it's blah
And waiting for blah
And hoping you were right about the blahs you made
And then, just when you think you've got the whole blah'd damn thing figured out
And you're surrounded by the ones you blah
Death shows up... anddd blah, blah, blah.
