I don't personally buy the "hip hop is dead" argument, precisely because there's still so much good music being made. You just have to look for it.
On the flipside, I definitely think "hip hop has the flu", mainly because advances in technology have made it easy for any ole' untalented bastard to download FruityLoops and record his own video with a flipcam. This is obviously going to lead to some bad product.
The esrtwhile Bangs now has some competition for worstest video evar. Witness the following.

Jesus, I sure hope these Negroes didn't quit their Day Jobs, assuming they had any. There's so much wrong with this video, I don't know where to start.
* Video "pros" in granny drawls? [1:40] Where they do that at?
* Is that Jermaine O'Neal lookin' bama [1:20] in the bathtub with a headband on? Why?
* "Iverson" baseball jerseys? [1:27] Really?
* 6-foot high ceilings? [1:34] Lemme guess, they had to shoot this in someone's basement while they mama was at work.
* What's with the Middle Eastern lookin' chick in the background dry-humping the car [2:35], and the other one who looks 15 [2:41] that clearly can't dance a lick but is hogging the camera?
* Why is this chick doin' the Tootsie Roll? [3:05] What is this, 1994?
* What's up with the Hispanic dude standing in the background [3:14] with the ice grill? What's he so mad about? Is he thirsty? Dos cervesas, por favor.
* Oh, so that's what the Hispanic dude's in the video for. [3:24]
* This guy is clearly on the Plies Diet And Exercise Plan. [3:50]
* Please don't mention "The Lord" is the midst of this f*ckery. Please. [4:22]
* Rape! Rape! [4:45]
Question: What YOU thirsty fo'?!?
* Hat tip to C&D.
