Rap is dead

Here's proof that it's dead. Ms Peaches Getto Fried Chicken.




New rap problem: criticism from within - Yahoo! News: "Rap insider Chuck Creekmur, who runs the leading Web site Allhiphop.com, says he got a message from a friend recently 'asking me to hook her up with some Red Hot Chili Peppers because she said she's through with rap. A lot of people are sick of rap ... the negativity is just over the top now.'

The rapper Nas, considered one of the greats, challenged the condition of the art form when he titled his latest album 'Hip-Hop is Dead.' It's at least ailing, according to recent statistics: Though music sales are down overall, rap sales slid a whopping 21 percent from 2005 to 2006, and for the first time in 12 years no rap album was among the top 10 sellers of the year. A recent study by the Black Youth Project showed a majority of youth think rap has too many violent images. In a poll of black Americans by The Associated Press and AOL-Black Voices last year, 50 percent of respondents said hip-hop was a negative force in American society."
