who swapped salvia divinorum for your double mint gum this morning?

i don't think one could say jazz ended at any point - it could be argued that a type ended at 19xx, but it continues in different forms. hip-hop, also, continues and will always continue in different forms. i would argue that, as far as music genres are concerned, hip-hop changes and adapts faster than most other types of music (if not all types).

Hip Hop ended when Heath Ledger died.

A full 3 days before you would've ended it yourself referencing it with your soulful, introspective parochial bath house longings.

No jaundiced eye left unsquinched in Mudede's rich panorama of "Anywhere But Unfucked"

Riddle me this, Dreamerpants...Where does Grandy end?

2000 words. Due today. Go.

Nate Dogg had a stroke.

T-Pain Comes Alive is a classic album.

We should listen to Charle's opinions on music? This guy has been championing the same tired dubstep album for a year now.

Charles, dubstep is just a hyped term. It's not an actual genre of music.

Oh wait, I am into rock music! I like dub too! Ta-da! Drub is a new genre of music!

So, you're saying the aroma lingers?

If I can smell it in my sleep should I bother waking up at all?

Why 1969? Have you heard Charles Mingus "Changes: One" (1974)? Is that not jazz?

Perhaps jazz and hip-hop were both killed in 1991 by Miles Davis and his phenomenally booty-shaking album "Doo-bop."

I would say that the only thing that's died is Charles' relevancy as a music critic.

Yooo, Turnaround @ 14...don't trip homie.

Easy Mo Bee saw the future...and it smelled like a pair of white twins from Kenmore doing something positive for the community (it also smelled like Nag Champ and S-Curl on a 70 year old hype).

Only the good die young. Crap just keeps on comin'.

TTS @16 - White twins from Kenmore? You gotta break that one down a bit further. I do wonder what you're talking about.
