I realize that many people consider Blender to be the worst music publication of all-time, but their list of Who Killed Hip Hop? has some funny points. Also, I know how people love to read and argue about music lists. Here is Blender's list of Who Killed Hip Hop? followed by the blurb for #8. You can read the rest here.
10. Young MC 9.ÂÂ The Double Disc 8.ÂÂ The 1985 Chicago Bears 7.ÂÂ The Remix 6. Public schools 5. ÂÂ Michael Jordan 4.ÂÂ Nas 3.ÂÂ Diddy 2.ÂÂ White People 1.ÂÂ 2Pac and Notorious B.I.G. 8. Accessory to Murder: The 1985 Chicago Bears M.O.: Their pioneering endeavor into hip-hop with the hand-clapping "Super Bowl Shuffle" unknowingly made it possible for Shaquille O'Neal to build up a catalog extensive enough to warrant a "Greatest Hits." Since then, Allen Iverson, Deion Sanders, Ron Artest, Kobe Bryant, and even Tony Parker rhyming in his native French have all reminded us why they're such celebrated athletes. Sentence: A marathon listening party of each other's releases.
This guy is right on. although the "who's at fault" are a little obscure the points are definitely valid.
