Look at Lily Allen...was she "Pop 2.0"? These catch all phrases are fuckin' cornball.

The first change was when dudes got signed strictly off of mixtape buzz and battles. <BR/><BR/>The next logical progression is when those mediums are brought online and YouTube, MySpace and Blogger/Wordpress were utilized so those mixtapes are downloadable and your music is available online so labels would sign you from there. Sales dropping are a by product of the changing market and the industry failing to adapt in time.<BR/><BR/>One.Dart Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00878801052893199850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6420176845224246684.post-1621892544106887212009-04-02T18:55:00.000-04:002009-04-02T18:55:00.000-04:00@ eskay: I FIGURED he had to get it from somewhere...@ eskay: <BR/><BR/>I FIGURED he had to get it from somewhere else but just hearing him say it made me go WTF?

Nobody really is buying CD's anymore so rappers being defined by their online presence is really a paradigm shift. Not that referring to Charles Hamilton and Soulja Boy as "Hip Hop 2.0" isn't really gay.<BR/><BR/>I mean, the Wu-Tang Forever enhanced CD was really cool at the time but it was more or less a gimmick to reward the fans for buying the album. As Quan said, they still had actual fans buying the album.DocZeushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16167201486110098029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6420176845224246684.post-58464604782835247772009-04-02T14:13:00.000-04:002009-04-02T14:13:00.000-04:00I know hip-hop fans and labels have used the Inter...I know hip-hop fans and labels have used the Internet to intake/feed hip-hop before. But how many artists were more or less defined by their online presence? Soulja Boy got his deal by hustling Youtube hits, Chamilton is nothing outside of the NMC and he's got like 29 personal blogs or some shit.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, Mobb Deep, yknow, actually had real fans buying physical copies of their albums. Even though Roots started Okayplayer, they had hits outside of the Internest before OKP blew up.<BR/><BR/>Maybe Carson meant something more like "Rapper 2.0". Or what we call "blog rappers".quanhttp://haterplayer.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6420176845224246684.post-85594325641001927372009-04-02T12:38:00.000-04:002009-04-02T12:38:00.000-04:00Carson is a douchebag, but he hardly coined the ph...Carson is a douchebag, but he hardly coined the phrase Hip-Hop 2.0. <BR/><BR/>http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=Osk&q=Hip+Hop+2.0&btnG=Searcheskayhttp://nahright.comnoreply@blogger.com
