Lil Jon is the reason why hip hop is wack right now. Yea, maybe he found a recipe for hits, but is that what hip hop is about? Cmon man, you can still be creative and original and make hits too. Listen to the synths he played on that Youngbloodz shit. Now listen to the synths on Usher's "Yea" single. Same fuckin notes played in reverse. What the fuck is that?! No contribution whatsoever to the betterment of hip hop. Lil Jon should be gang raped by a pack of aids infested wild buffalo.
Lil Jon is not the reason why hip hop is wack, because he been doin his thing since the early 90's, and he ain't change up his style one bit. He's an independent artist, that put in his work and now he's double plat, so I give him all credit due.
I agree that "Freek-a-leek" by Petey Pablo, Yeah by Usher, and that Goodies song by Ciara are pretty much all the same beat, but realize that this is the music BUSINESS
If somebody wanted to pay you 50-70 grand for the same beat, then you would hop off that "betterment of hip hop" soapbox real quick!
Realize that hip hop is global now, people in Russia sing 50 Cent songs, my personal preference is 88-1996 hip hop, but I realize that not everybody wears hoodies and tims and likes Pete Rock--some ppl like to go to clubs and get "crunk" , and Lil Jon fulfills that need for them. Don't hate the player, hate the game.
