yo,

the future of hip hop?

black?
nah.

-try slug from atmosphere- that's the future. starting in May of 2005, it will be all about white dudes who look white but are actually half black who rhyme their ass off in a very witty fashion on the topics of love, angst, and life.

the current era of the opulent, ostentatious black thug will be replaced by the emotionally sensitive, intelligent white 'artist', for approximately 3.5 yrs. Eminem will be seen as a fraud and ostracized for trying to market himself no longer as a 'rapper', but rather as a 'white rapper' (as once he had gone black, he won't be allowed to come back).

white emo hop will be replaced by the funky black party rapper who re-introduces fun & stupidity back into the music, most likely a futuristic version of rob base or even mc hammer. this particular era will last for 1.75 summers, which brings us to approximately 2011- at which point another charismatic thug will rise to intrigue the masses with stories of his hellish and tortured existence.

5 yrs later, his success will create a maelstrom of monetary opportunity for many lesser clone rappers (who refuse the title 'artist'); look for the political leaders of this time- Russell Simmons, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sean Combs and Jesse Jackson Jr.- to denounce these superstars as 'mere sensational criminals, not worthy of comparison to the old masters: Tupac, Jay Z, Eminem, and Missy Elliott (but not Biggie, who will be forgotten).

however, tuesday, dec. 6th, 2016 will ease the pain and confusion for a struggling, divorced, aging street performer named darrell perry...for on that day, i will take my hard earned fiscal credits and head over to the local download kiosk to beam the newly-released Roots and Outkast box sets into my neck-implanted entertainment chip, slide back to my LifePod in sector 9 of SW Washington, DC and reflect upon how crazy it is to think that Michael Jackson literally turned black again after 10 years in jail........



i was reading this website, and wrote this in response to a post in the guestbook about the future of hip hop.
