Though the Interweb has been pumping out obituaries for hip-hop for quite some time now, this one is pretty good.
Instead of just fingering random things like Young MC and the 1985 Bears -- yes, we're looking at you, Blender -- this one is actually thoughtful and written by a fan. It's long, but it's a fascinating look at hip-hop's commercial evolution, so I'm not going to shortcut him and post the list here. If you care about hip-hop, it's worth your time.
