Have you heard from puffy? (except for a little 'shout the chorus' bit on Nas' "hate me now") And now that he's off to prision (probably), i doubt you'll hear much more. Mase? His shitty harlem world side project bombed, and now he's retired. No Limit hasn't had a genuine hit since 'make 'em say unngh'. As far as i'm concerned, DMX/Ruff Ryders is the only wack shit still around. (Jay-Z & Roc-A-Fella are bearable lyrically, IMHO. Check Jay-Z's "Dead Presidents" LP if you don't belive me.) lauren hill, the roots, and outkast all had HUGE hits, all while keeping their integrity and without corny ass pop beats. even Prince Paul, Brand Nubian, Cool Breeze, and Blackstar had mild hits. and for what it's worth, Rawkus' soundboming II comp debuted at #30 on billboard last week i'm telling you wack hip hop will die in the near future.
