I take a much simpler view on this. Rap occupies the same place with our culture today, that rock did 45 years ago (I am 58 now). As I think to myself when I see most of what is around today (be it clothes, fashion, music, etc.) ... we had our time at the plate, now it is time to step left.
Rap will pass as the sound of the masses 20 years or so from now, just like rock has past for the most part. Many baby boomers just have a hard time accepting that rap is as big as rock was.
My mom passed away 3 years ago at age 90. During her last year, I spent most every day either with her in the nursing home section of the hospital or in the hospice we set up in her apartment. When the patients had lunch in the lunchroom, the staff piped in big band music from the 40's. It will be no different for us ... just not sure how I will feel about the Stones in 2046 ... hope they don't play any Bon Jovi.
Happy New Year! Grease for Peace!
