<p> </p><p>I am a 35 year old former emcee from the borough of BK. I feel like today’s Hip Hop is not for the Hip Hop Heads of my generation. For the last few weeks I have been listening to Sam Cooke, Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions, Teddy Pendergrass, etc. Hip Hop has sent me back to the roots. Current Hip Hop is so bad that I have been going to the soul roots that were the catalyst for the genre.</p><p>I have been listening to break beats like Nautalius by Bob James (sampled by Main Source’s “Live At The BBQ and many other artists). Hip Hop only has a few good artists that drop around three times in a year. I am fan of Jay Electronica, Jay-Z, J. Cole, Drake and a few other rappers. I am waiting to hear the Method Man, Raekwon, and Ghost CD. I am waiting on Talib and Hi Tek’s reunion, but there is not enough good music to fill the void.</p><p>So is it going to get better or worse? After this batch of music will I be officially be boxed out due to this disconnect. I will sorely miss the feeling new hot Hip Hop gave me for the last 30 years if I can’t get with what’s coming next. I just wonder if I will forever be stuck with the music of yesterday. Is today’s music as bad I think, or am I just out of touch?</p><p>Name (required)</p>
