Hip Hop's Haters at the Gates
Friday, July 18, 2008
Music industry watchers have been obsessed with the future of hip hop practically since the moment rap was born 30 years ago. But sales were down 30% in 2007 and superstars like 50 Cent have lost their luster. We talk about hip-hop's soul-searching journey into the future, and longtime MC Del tha Funkee Homosapien talks about his new album, "Eleventh Hour," and his experiences on major and independent labels.
Our blog: John Schaefer on the future of hip hop.
