Hip-hop music, once a platform for creative
expression and friendly competition, has, sadly, become a popularity
contest. With record sales down and ringtone dollars up,
rookies searching for that "one big hit" seem solely concerned with
being deemed "cool." Lyrics have side-stepped, giving way to
dance-instructing "rappers" more concerned with sparking the new
"Macarena" than being hailed as an MC. On the outside looking in at
such followers is Lupe Fiasco.
