Six reasons why hip hop sucks in 2009

N.B: Another guest post today, and one about which I've been quite excited for some time. When not contributing realness to FreeDarko, the Dr. Lawyer Indian Chief is likely found listening to rap music. In an effort to help close out the decade, I asked him for his favorite records since 2000. In response, I got this stunning repudiation of so many things which comprise the contemporary hip-hop landscape. Please enjoy. This is ill.A while back Joey asked me for my top ten albums of the century, and I could only come up with 5/6:1. Ghostface – Supreme Clientele2. Prodigy – Return of the Mac3. MF Doom – Operation Doomsday4. Dr. Dre – 2001*5. Sacred Hoop – Sleep OverHonorable mention: El-P Fantastic Damage*Note, I almost forgot about this album until my friend, Andy, reminded me.Given the difficulty I had in coming up with even five, I thought it would be fun to write an article about the wackness of current hip-hop that makes a bunch of overgeneralizations and fails to name names in certain cases where it wouldn’t be politically beneficial to do so. I could give a million disclaimers, but instead I’ll give just one: You will not meet a bigger rap fan than me, and that is why I feel so strongly about this shit. Without further adieu...
