		<description><![CDATA[Pop Music is short for &quot;popular&quot;. If enough people dig it, it goes pop. But remember that the world isnt full of fans. Moreso people that just were doing their everyday thing and something caught their ear. 
Therefore I don&#039;t hate. But meet the people half way and atleast be a real artist. Not to mention withdraw from so much transparency. One time Marilyn Manson wrote an open email to all of Interscope saying basically that when a fan knows too much about you/has too much access to you/some of your mistique goes a way. Maybe there&#039;s some truth to that.

		<description><![CDATA[That is just not true. Rock as a genre is all about pushing the bounds, bands such as Aerosmith or Linkin Park have never been labeled as sellouts and both have collaborated with rappers. Or Wu-Tang going on tour and doing some live songs with Rage Against the Machine? Genre blending is not a sign of selling out. Rap is the only genre that has this issue for whatever reason. The Mainstream only wants a select style of Rap and the Underground screams sell-out if anyone tries something different. There is no respect given in Rap for pushing boundaries except for maybe Kanye West who manages to do it quite well.]]></description>

As far as the whole &#039;Sell-out&#039; thing? Listen...I&#039;m 40 years old...Rap music SOLD out over a decade ago. Kniggas really need to knock it off. Rap music IS POP-ular music.

		<description><![CDATA[The public does not necessarily hate the artist because he is &quot;successful&quot;, rather the hate comes from the fact that the artist had to resort to a commercial sound to gain fame. In your magazine many of these artists are noted for their lyrical ability and/or wordplay, especially in editions like the annual 10 Freshmen issue.

Most of these new artists that are praised as the next big thing and end up up offering nothing new to the game. Specifically, Wiz resorted to rapping about material things, just like the thousand other rappers on the radio. For the record, I do not listen to many mixtapes, let alone Wiz&#039;. I just heard the buzz on the Internet about his talent and was, at the time, excited to hear quality music on the radio for a change. 

You have to understand, to those of us who have been listening to rap for the last 20 plus years find this a big disappointment. Its like the culture is devolving, not evolving. It can be equated to inventing cars and email and then going back to using wagon trains and pony express. We don&#039;t go backwards. 

Finally, I&#039;m about to agree with one of the previous posts. When established, well-liked artists associate themselves with obviously less talented artists it hurts the whole culture. What happens is that new listeners who don&#039;t have an appreciation for hip hop as a history and an art form accept these less talented artists as the status quo. Thus, the quality of hip-hop takes a nose dive because newer artists don’t have much to aspire to.  

I change the station every time &quot;Black and Yellow&quot; comes on.]]></description>

<p>You have to understand, to those of us who have been listening to rap for the last 20 plus years find this a big disappointment. Its like the culture is devolving, not evolving. It can be equated to inventing cars and email and then going back to using wagon trains and pony express. We don&#8217;t go backwards. </p>
<p>Finally, I&#8217;m about to agree with one of the previous posts. When established, well-liked artists associate themselves with obviously less talented artists it hurts the whole culture. What happens is that new listeners who don&#8217;t have an appreciation for hip hop as a history and an art form accept these less talented artists as the status quo. Thus, the quality of hip-hop takes a nose dive because newer artists don’t have much to aspire to.  </p>
<p>I change the station every time &#8220;Black and Yellow&#8221; comes on.</p>
