Hip-hop is like the economy, it is cyclical with ups and downs.
You had young Run-DMC, Whoudini, EPMD, and Rakim...
then things went stale...
Then NWA came to the scene and the blew the shit up...
then things went stale...
Then Tupac, Dre, B.I.G. and Nas brought hip-hop back...
then things went stale
Eminem, 50 Cent, early Cash Money, Mos Def brought hip-hop back...
and here we are now..things are stale (and Lil' Wayne sucks now...he was good back in the Bling Bling days with Cash Money..but now he is an idiot)
