Is Rap Getting Lazy or Fans Getting Gullible?

Winnie Cooper recently asked if rap is getting lazy. This is a good question to ask not only from the rappers' point of view but the fans as well. If you ask me, the problem ain't if Rap is Getting Lazy but are we the music fans getting too frig gin' gullible?

We sit and wait to be forced fed the BS that mainstream is dishing out. The rappers observe that our culture has been watered down with nursery rhymes and that this is what's HOT right now. So they think that in order to get noticed it makes sense to jump on one of these tracks and try to show off their skills.

Rap as an art form has become too one-dimensional and a lot of good talent is either not being heard by music fans or is being stifled by those that have the power to expose it. Isn't radio in Canada supposed to play a certain percentage of Canadian content? What happen? Fans need to get more engaged or enraged and demand more quality, more exposure for indie artists and bands to get more variety on the airwaves.
