Only people in the know have heard of the Wu-Tang Clan? Really?
Dr Dre doesn't do it for me at all since the Chronic and Doggystyle (the latter he may not have even produced!!!!!). Don't know, modern mainstream Hip-HPop isn't my thing. It's like when Industrial broke through and every third rate Nine Inch Nails act got signed. Thanks, but I'll pass. Give me some Cabaret Voltaire, KMFDM, Ministry, Skinny Puppy, Revolting C*cks, etc. You can have your Gravity Kills and Marilyn Manson.
Modern, mainstream Hip Hop is what people are buying. Kendrick Lamar, Two Chainz et. al. It doesn't matter what we like. It's what the kids like. Dre is from my generation of Hip Hop though he remains relevant in popularity, influence and sales. But more than anything, he's respected as an innovative force worldwide.
Oh, and I'm sure you realize we're discussing the antics of the lives of the One Percent.
