State of Hip Hop - Latin Lingo

I'm sure many people have varied opinions on the current state of Pop Music. Well... Hip-Hop is currently mainstream and is, in essence Pop Music, right? I'm not talking about the various segments of Underground Hip-Hop. I'm talking about the crossover stuff. Rap music is on almost every radio station around the world. Love it or hate it, you've probably heard it. The Latin Lingo article from the  San Antonio Current gives Cypress Hill's view of the current State of Hip-Hop. I guess the rap veterans have a claim to parts of rap history. They were a major part of bringing Latin Hip-Hop to the forefront of the genre when they released their self-titled debut album in 1991. Perhaps that is why they are still able to book gigs. Those fools are performing at Scout Bar in San Antonio this Saturday, May 15, 2010. Cypress Hill is the EXACT type of group you want to see in a small venue. Their energy and style will be a breath of fresh air to a new generation of Hip-Hop fans.
