Is Hip-Hop Growing Up???

Hello world what’s going on? I introduce to you something new, this is Wusah Radio, today it is a blog tomorrow the world!!! Hey it’s a new world out there; everybody and they mama is broke, with no job. Thangs just ain’t the same for gangstas. You got 18yr old dudes running around in skinny jeans dancing they ass off, a Canadian is poised to take over rap music and our president is black. Ten years ago no one would have thought any of that would be possible. So why are there rappers out there who think it’s cool to talk about the same things everyone was on ten or fifteen years ago? There will always be 18 yr olds, but everyone else is growing up. What about hip-hop?? I know some of us wanna be Toys-R-Us kids but damn. I ain't got money, I work five days a week so no I’m not at the club every night; I don't know what it feels like to pop bottles all night, and when I do go shopping me and my boy clearance are best friends. If I’m alone in this then damn that's messed up, but you know what something tells me I’m not.
I'm older than I used to be but that's not the whole story, is hip hop/ rap music the only genre of music that you can't get old with?? Let's look at this; hip hop started in the early 70’s and made it to radio late 1979 national about 80,81 depending on where u lived. We made it to the mainstream in 88 and never looked back. Rap music has been a young man’s game since the beginning, that is until it made it into the board room, then we have 40 and 50 year old white, black and other men making decisions on what we hear and eventually what music is being made. But it's a new world, now artists are putting out new music every day, and the Internet has a much bigger say in what's coming out. Look at Soulja Boy and the dance craze, colbie caillat, Justin Bieber, GS boyz, Lil Will, Drake, Dondria, and Asher Roth. All came from the Internet, MySpace and YouTube. Hip hop is changing but I ask again is it growing up?? New artists like Lupe fiasco, J. Cole, B.o.b, Asher Roth, Kid Cudi and Wale, all have gained success and are a breath of fresh air bringing in new topics and points of view, and they’re doing things like nobody else has done. Think about it, when you were 18 and going out what music was hot? What clubs were you going to? What radio station were you listening to? Do you do any of those same things anymore? If it's been ten years maybe, but at 35 or 40 probably not. Unless you are fortunate and live in one of the few cities that has a radio station with a more open playlist, your radio station now plays mostly R&B or you sit thru a lot BS on the "hip-hop" station. I'm just saying, where is the in between? No offense to R&B listeners, I just want something a little different. I have asked before why people listen to R&B stations, and the answer wasn't just because I like it, it's because you can't stand the music on the "hip-hop" station. That's like saying you got married because he asked you, seriously! Hip hop music is getting close to thirty years old, I think it's time to grow and change. If you don't agree that's cool but please don't be the old dude in tight jeans and a gumby!!!!!
