The problem with hip-hop music today...

Clearly, there is a problem with rap/hip-hop today. Mainly, it sucks.
As a side note, Tuesday could mark a big day in hip-hop history. If you haven't heard, 50 Cent will retire if Kanye West sells more CD's than he does. Both CD's come out on Tuesday, so buy Kanye West's CD....
Personally, I doubt 50 Cent will actually retire or retire for that long (ala Jay-Z).

But, regardless, hip-hop would be much better if artists followed this simple formula.

I'd also like to direct you to figure 4-A on that same page and also comment #7 for a thorough analysis of figure 4-A.
