Of course Radio's important, it's not as if someone's is going to be walking with a HDTV with am antenna and battery. Because a Boombox is less bulky.

@wslandry in 10 years? Talib has been around for about 15 years already. I can understand where you're coming from with Motown and playing an instrument, but I think you're underestimating Hip-Hop producers. Sure some people will loop a sample and call it a day. Others will recreate something totally new from the sample and even combine sounds from other samples.

If you don't think DJ Premier and Pete Rock have true talent, I don't know what to say.

Ya learn Auto Tune and not play an instrument. Regular radio is dead but Sirius XM is the wave of the future with no freaking adds. Wiz looks higher than shit and he has a gift but I think most Rappers have a message but the music I wouldn't spend a dime on. So give me Motown or someone who can play an instrument and that's music. Great vocals and playing an instrument is true talent. These guys are all a flash, however 10 yrs from now we will see.
