well MTV made a conscious decision to make Rap the dominant genre on their network, and cause of that, the worst comes out (50 Cent and his G-Unit Soldiers"Mobb Deep made a bad move there", Ja Rule and all of Murder Inc. Slim Thug) the OK (The Game "G-UNOT *gun clicks*", Eminem, Snoop Dogg) and the phenomenal (Jay-Z "great but MTV is so far up his ass they proclaimed him the best MC over Tupac and Nas, Wu-Tang Clan, Outkast, and many more), it's very different then the rock side where the only bands i have seen mentioned are Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Arcade Fire
also the thing people have to realize is that MTV's viewers age have dropped immensely to the point that middle schoolers are trying to get Crunk, Goth, Jiggy, Wiggy, and just Retarded
otherwise other greats are KRS-One, Nonphixon, Aesop Rock, Mr Lif, El-P (hell most of Def Jux), and the amazing Wu-Tang Clan who were the most exciting group i have ever seen live, SY need to step up, Thurston needs to start spraying Champaign on the audience, and Kim needs to start taking people's cell phones from the audience and start calling people ala Cappadonna
but yet again i am eclipsed by the vast knowledge by the High Priestess in the Temple of Hip Hop Je-L-Be, we are JPMD, we form like Voltron and she's the Head
