The major difference between artist now and the yesteryear is promoting a sexually ambiguous lifestyle instead of just dress up entertainment. And that shit is true, once somethign leaves the hood it's gonna be infiltrated and turn sick from the outsiders, so that happened with hip hop, happened with jazz, rock, etc. now time to move on. Cuz deep down hip hop MCing going to its roots is some braggadocios, ultra-masculine shit, now it's some weak, emo, punk shit.
