Alright I'm not really big fans of either, but I agree they didn't kill hip hop.. Cmb is no more crippling to hip hop than no limit or the original cash money
.. Which I listened to growing up.. So that's bs.

I'd say signing Drake was actually a genius move by Cmb tbh.. He's versatile, listenable, and females love him.. He'll always get thrown in radio rotation. Wayne is listenable as well, and what he lacks in versatility he makes up for in humor/whacked out sht, and he already has street cred from his past.. Although he may not have taken part in the majority of the sht, he's guilty by association bc imo BG is gangster as fuck, and I truly feel Wayne just built on his style n then diversified.

But to the point made above, I'm convinced that Baby molested Wayne since he was an adolescents n now Wayne has a gay version of Stockholm syndrome... And is most likely on the downlow..
But he can drop solid when he wants..(ex: I can't feel my face w juelz)

if ur going to blame the downfall of hip hop on anyone it should b levied on record executives and marketers (labels obv,) and the fans, more then any artist who are just playing the role they are told to play and the public wants to see..
Furthermore, blame it on technology... Sales r no longer a major source of income.. Mtv is nothing like it used to be, and face it rap concerts are rarely all that dope... Very few mcs/rappers can rock a stage with the energy to move a crowd (exception being like wu or red... Even snoop to an extent) but there's no instruments involved, and half the needed addlibs r done horribly. So instrumental musicians are more successful on that realm be it rock or Fuckin electronic. Just my thoughts..

I will say quality artists are few n far between tho, but I see the reasoning behind that being what I just said. Plus society has changed as well.
