i think there's a bunch of closet vanilla ice fans who finally found a way to covertly criticize authentic hip-hop. that's what i think. call me a con sper i cist.
mistaChuck has also said that he would prefer to have downloads so he can tour more. most people seem to forget that artists really only make money from touring. the labels are the ones making money off the CD's etc. that's why they got into such hot water when their label wouldn't release their album and they just uploaded mp3's to their fansite. hats off to mistachuck. he'll always be the rhyme animal.
to suggest that PE is dying is only showing your ignorance. i remember 2-3 years ago seeing articles in "wired" about chuck extolling the virtues of mp3 and anxiously awaiting mp4.
as some one else here pointed out...in an era of *bling *bling (which i kinda like btw) we have folks like mistaChuck who consistently take risks to find new ways to express.
personally, i'd suggest you check out "music in our mess age" and zero in on "Give it Up" and "Live and Undrugged" (parts 1 and 2). the second part has to be one of the most revolutionary stylistic attacks on "form" of rap presentation.
years from now, we'll have forgot all the pop wonders and will be answering questions from our children about Chuck D, KRS-One, Poor Righteous Teachers, Spearhead (aka Disposable Heroes of the Hiphoprisy), Tricky and the like.
