I think the problem with rap/hip hop on that is mainstream is what they rap about. fans have stopped caring what kind of cars they drive, how big their rims are, ect ect. and the fact that the radio kills the songs by over-playing them so much. I like the sound of a lot of the new rappers' voices and their beats, but I can't stand listening to them much anymore since they're over-played and they have stupid lyrics.
I'm a big fan of Outkast and Missy Elliot (they're probably 2 of my favorites in general) because they're always changing up their sounds. Every single one of their songs, sounds nothing like the previous. Which is the same reason why I'm still a big fan of Madonna and Aerosmith. They're all inovative.
But yah, I've stopped listening to the radio except basically for the classic rock station...going back to my roots.
