I guess its safe to say, Hip-Hop's still alive.
I honestly almost gave up on listening to Hip-Hop as a whole recently, as I just figured out how dope the genre of Jungle/Drum & Bass was. Now, now, don't get me wrong, I'm still a "Head". Its not that I got bored of Hip-Hop, its just I was tired of digging for the good stuff. Maybe 75% of my Hip-Hop library is from the Golden Era. Speaking of being a "Head", PussyCatDolls just surpassed Jeru Da Damaja, and Mobb Deep for the most played song on my iTunes.
